BUTTHOLE SURFERS
Arguably the most infamously named band in the annals of popular music -- for years, radio found their moniker unspeakable, and the press deemed it unprintable -- Butthole Surfers long reigned among the most twisted and depraved acts ever to bubble up from the American underground. Masters of calculated outrage, the group fused the sicko antics of shock rock with a distinct and chaotic mishmash of avant-garde, hardcore, and Texas psychedelia; sleazy, confrontational, and spiteful, songs like "The Revenge of Anus Presley," "Bar-B-Q Pope," and "The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey Oswald's Grave" seemed destined to guarantee the Buttholes little more than a lifetime of cultdom. Yet, by the mid-'90s, they were left-field Top 40 hitmakers, success perhaps their ultimate subversion of mainstream ideals.

Shifting to Rough Trade shortly before that troubled label ceased American operations, the Surfers found themselves at something of a crossroads with Pioughd. By this time the 'legend' of the Surfers was taking more precedence than the music itself, resulting in a slightly half-hearted. However, Pioughd included, following its appearance on a single, of their cover of Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man." Played live for a number of years beforehand, it's a great take, Haynes' appropriately trippy vocals floating across a fairly straightforward but still powerful run-through of the music. The group's semi-Black Sabbath obsession reappears with a brief squaller called "No, I'm Iron Man," while "Something" is performed as a hilarious Jesus and Mary Chain parody (bizarrely enough a version of that song was first recorded as a demo in 1983)...(AllMusic)
