The Butthole Surfers are an American psychedelic and punk band. The band was founded by Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary in San Antonio, Texas in 1982; the pair met while students at Trinity University. Incorporating elements of hardcore, psychedelia, and performance art, their live shows also made heavy use of strobe lights, background films (of note, footage of penis reconstruction surgery) and naked dancers, the Butthole Surfers' live performances adding a dimension that completely side-stepped the arena-rock grandiosity and secured them a prominent place in the cult annals.
