Formed in 1981 in San Antonio, Texas, Butthole Surfers are renowned for their eclectic fusion of punk, psychedelic rock, and noise, creating a sound that defies conventional genres. The core lineup—vocalist Gibby Haynes, guitarist Paul Leary, and drummer King Coffey—has been the band's backbone since 1983. Their live performances are legendary for their chaotic energy and provocative visuals, solidifying their status as pioneers of experimental rock. The 1996 album "Electriclarryland" brought them mainstream recognition, featuring the hit single "Pepper," which topped Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.
