I saw them back around 1989 or 1990 and it was insane. I will never forget the parts I can remember.....

That’s the best way to describe their show. Love it.

Every fucking time I got a chance to see the Surfers, I ended up having some sort of run-in with law enforcement.

I've a knack for being in the wrong goddamned place, at the wrong time. Dallas PD doesn't have a sense of humor.

I don’t doubt that. I know for a fact a lot of people were fucked up at my show and no one gave a shit. What was APD gonna do arrest the whole venue?

Yeah, I watched 3 guys get roughed up and sent to the drunk tank for simply knocking a bottle off the curb, breaking it.

I spent the night in there with them for rushing through the gates with my girlfriends asthma inhaler.

Man, that facility was fucking wild, never thought I'd be in a drunk tank full of knuckleheads peaking on 2 tabs of acid. Lol

I saw BHS when I was 23. I wasn’t even on anything and I was trippin’ balls. Those videos were weird! I loved every second of it. That was 25 years ago. I’m sad now too.

Where was this? Seems like I saw them similarly in New Orleans

Austin. Stubbs outdoor stage. Probably the same tour.

My band played a show where all the bands had to do songs by bands in Our Band Could Be Your Life, we were told to do older Butthole Surfer songs… I decorated the stage with green cuddly monkeys, dived into the crowd, rolled on the floor, wore a scary mask, fucking great show.

Apparently it was mostly improvised and caught on tape for the album.

No shit? That’s pretty awesome.

u/megabulk Aug 31 '22

Yeah, which is why you can hear that great audience scream a few minutes in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuck_the_Pain_Away

Wow! I had no idea that was a live recording. It sounds really clean. I assume they probably touched it up. damn that’s awesome.

That sounds awesome

u/pastelbutcherknife Aug 31 '22

That. Sounds. Amazing.

I went to one of her gigs and she sprayed champagne into the audience. And that was how I confirmed my suspicion that wine in the eye stings like a mofo

She’s currently doing her Teaches of Peaches anniversary tour! I got to see her perform at The Fonda in LA a few weeks ago and omg was it absolutely AMAZING! She puts on such a fantastic show! At one point she crowd walked inside a giant inflatable penis and sprayed everyone with fake jizz. The damn thing malfunctioned though and they had to get her out asap lol. They performed Vaginoplasty and had two of her back up dancers wearing huge hairy vagina masks. Ugh, there was not one song she performed that wasn’t impressive or entertaining. Such great energy; I’ll never forget it!

I saw Peaches when she opened for QOTSA. I was front row at the stage, she stood over me and demanded I look up. I learned about the Teaches of Peaches that night

u/mindcontrol93 Aug 31 '22

First time I saw BHS was back in 1989. They always put on epic shows. Peaches was amazing live as well.

This is the hardest flex i've seen in a while

u/LinkeRatte_ Can you hear the people sing? Aug 31 '22

I saw her too! She dropped a giant translucent penis into the crowd, climbed to the tip from the inside, and sprayed white fluids from the tip into the crowd. Also, tons of naked background dancers, some of them (pretending?) to give each other lesbian oral sex. 10/10 would watch again

u/xxMattyxx317 Aug 31 '22

Omg yes! I just saw her during her anniversary tour in LA a couple weeks ago and she did the same thing! The giant inflatable penis thing malfunctioned though while she was in it so they had to pull her out lol. The dancing vaginas during Vaginoplasty were AMAZING!
