Surprise: Butthole Surfers Reunite for First Performance in 8 Years
"Butthole Surfers reunited for a surprise performance on Tuesday night (September 23rd) at a screening of the new documentary on the band at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, California. The Tom Stern-directed film, titled The Hole Truth and Nothing Butt, had its West Coast premiere at the venue as part of Beyond Fest, where the full band was in attendance for a Q&A."
"After the screening, frontman Gibby Haynes and company pleasantly surprised attendees when they took the stage and played a three-song set comprised of "Cherub," "The Colored FBI Guy," and "The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave." The gig marked Butthole Surfers' first performance since an October 2017 concert in San Pedro, California, and only their third show since 2011. While they never officially broke up, the band has pretty much been on hiatus for the better part of the past decade."
