Reissues from the legendary Texas band's first decade!

Remastered under superivison by the group

Matador Records is reissuing a number of key albums by legendary Texas band, The Butthole Surfers, recorded during the band's strange, grotesque, and ultimately unparalled first decade. All of the records have been remastered under supervision by the group.

The early-mid ‘80s had their share of insane combos. Forty years later, The Butthole Surfers have announced their first batch of reissues in collaboration with Matador Records certain to raise the roof for a lot of people who thought they had a pretty good handle on the outer realms of the ‘80s indie-rock scene. And while the recordings are not the fully immersive experience of the Buttholes in concert, you may still feel as though you've fallen down a rabbit hole the size of Texas itself.

Psychic.... Powerless.... Another Man's Sac was the first to feature the power of the band's classic two drummer line-up (King Coffey and Teresa Taylor). The synchronized percussive brutarianism of this pair (falsely rumored to be siblings) provided the perfect base for the unhinged blurt of the guitars and vocals then being shared by Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary.

By the time they started touring to preview and then support the revamped version of Psychic... Powerless... Another Man's Sac, the Buttholes' live show was a berserk, evolving extravaganza of strobes, smoke, clothespins, naked dancing, bullhorns, raving lunacy and music that was as madly mind-blowing as that of any band who ever lived.

Another Man's Sac was also wildly advanced over the previous records. Parts of the LP swaddled their punk edge inside so much oink and babble you almost couldn't discern it, with other segments stretching out into a mutant form of garage blues, and others just swirling out of control.
