I
had transcribed the massive in-depth interview with Butthole Surfers
drummer Teresa Taylor - the book features various snippets from the
interview, and Psych Trail Mix - Issue #9 (Butthole Surfers Special)
features the FULL, fascinating uncut interview with Teresa. The
Butthole Surfers were one of the wildest, most psychedelic bands
ever... Wild acid-fried Texans who lived like nomads with brutal
touring schedules on the road for years upon years at a time. Their
lead singer, the 6 foot 7 Gibby Haynes would often use a megaphone
on-stage and a giant effects box to warp his vocals on-the-fly. Paul
Leary was an INCREDIBLE psychedelic guitarist with a unique style that
has not been matched. They'd often feature dual stand-up drummers and
employ pyrotechnics and a naked dancer during their live shows. James
Burns' book is a massive tome, covering the full story of the band in
great detail - AND it's in COLOR, featuring some absolutely
mind-blowing exclusive photos of the band. The back of the book
includes an insanely extensive discography that even includes details
on each and every song, not to mention an exhaustive live shows list.
If you're a Butthole Surfers fan, this is MUST have stuff. HIGHLY
recommend from myself here at the PTM compound.
