Butthole Surfers - Live At The Leather Fly

Butthole Surfers — Live At The Leather Fly

Limited edition opaque pink vinyl 2LP

Live At The Leather Fly documents Butthole Surfers' legendary live show. Mixed by guitarist Paul Leary, the album channels their ferocious stage energy into a speaker-bursting cacophony across 21 unrelenting songs — including fan favorites from Human Cannonball to The Annoying Song.

The title comes from a bit of band lore, says Leary. "Back in the '80s, Gibby (Haynes, the Austin band's notorious frontman) used to fantasize about a nightclub called The Leather Fly. He wanted it to have a stuffed leather fly hanging in front of it. There were two (fictional) competing promoters on the scene: Steak Watson and Lady Corn Wilson."

If that isn't enough to entice you to visit the Surfers' Leather Fly, how about the endorsements of some fellow Austinites and/or indie-rockers? "There is kind of a before and after when you wander into a Butthole Surfers show," says filmmaker Richard Linklater. "That is a changing point in your life." Add Ween guitarist and vocalist Dean Ween, without reservation: "Butthole Surfers are the greatest live band of my lifetime."
