Butthole Surfers @ The Forum in London - July 26, 2008 (mark landells)
Butthole Surfers

Paul Leary is now playing all shows in the US and Europe this summer (!!!). This completes the classic line up of the band from the 80s along with Gibby Haynes, King Coffey, Jeff Pinkus and Teresa Taylor. Joining the band on these shows will be members of the Paul Green School of Rock All Stars, creating a formidable psychedelic monster onstage. [Butthole Surfers]

I am hearing that for tonite's show there will be much less School of Rock kids performing with them. Going to be more of a straight ahead old school Surfers show.

The band did not begin as the Butthole Surfers, although they did have a song of that title, possibly an early version of 1984's "Butthole Surfer". This changed at their first paid concert, when an announcer forgot what the band was called and used the song title for the group’s name. They decided to keep the moniker, and have largely been billed as such ever since.[76] Prior to that, the Surfers performed under a different name at every live show. Early aliases included the Dick Clark Five, Nine Foot Worm Makes Own Food, the Vodka Family Winstons, and many others.[77]

The name has long been a source of trouble for the band. Many clubs, newspapers, radio, and TV stations refuse to print or mention their full name, and instead opted to use "B.H. Surfers", or other abbreviations

"I am hearing that for tonite's show there will be much less School of Rock kids performing with them. Going to be more of a straight ahead old school Surfers show."

i sure as fuck hope so

"what is a butthole surfer?"

it was the name of one of their songs before they were called that. and a promoter of a show or some shit called them that or announced them as that when they got on stage and the kept it...but as far as i know...it is someone who likes to either give or receive anal sex, no?

I saw the show Gibby did at Highline with the kids. It was fantastic. Even if the kids are up there this should be wild. The punk abandon of teenage kids who spend all their time trying to be the next Dragonforce is intoxicating. This is pretty much their "recess" from the shredding.

So psyched for tonight! The set list they have been playing is OUT OF CONTROL

Setlist:
22 Going on 23
Fast
Suicide
100 Million
Watlo
Goofy's Concern
To Parter
Tornadoes
1401
Graveyard
Dust Devil
Ulcer Breakout
Roky
Cowboy Bob
Cherub
Sweat Loaf
Jimi
Cartoon Song
X-Ray
The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave

please sell me a ticket for tonight. someone. please. I'm really stupid for not getting tickets.

Anon 4:24, the theme of this summer has been people having to bail on tickets routinely because of how far in advance they are sold. You should have no problem showing up to Webster tonight and finding a dozen people trying to get rid of a spare for face.

The last time I relied on an anonymous post for information like that, it was a joke.
