No sound! What? The oscilating, slow burn of two drummers and a million layers of psych feedback with super low pitch vocals, swirling around the audience -- are you kidding me? They were loose in the best possible sense.

Though you can still order the LP from them.
It's from the era when they had two drummers, the topless dancer with glasses and king tut beard, an out-of-control smoke machine, and were projecting car accident and sex change operation films into said smoke. So you miss the visuals. But it gets point across pretty well.

Agreed. That's the one I really hate. The follow-up is almost as bad. But the follow-follow-up many years later (Weird Revolution) is at least fun again. Pioughd is a great album. Totally fucking stupid BUT it has PSY studio version and that "You always get to be Iron Man" song, which is the most hilarious thing they ever did, except for Gibby drunk in the studio.

Marmot, ya gotta get Humpty Dumpty if only for the rousing froth-at-the-mouth track "I Hate My Job", which is the only other tune they've ever done that equals "Suicide".

No, there was plenty of '60s US garage psych that was intentionally dumb, intending it as humor. And plenty of it somewhat psychotic as well - though not making a real big POINT about it like the Butthole Surfers. Also plenty of '70s proto-punk w/ garbage-psych aspects that was fucked up as well.
― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Sunday, 24 September 2006 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link
The only thing I can think of is that Spazz song ("Get offa the floor, boy, people gonna think you're a Spazz") from the Pebbles comp and another one called "I Wanna Get Back (from The World of LSD)" or something like that... but I can't think of any where the singer WAS the fool. They were usually talking about the fool or being foolish. Hope you get what I'm saying.

For '70s proto-punk psych: Debris, Twinkeyz, Simply Saucer
― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Sunday, 24 September 2006 16:04 (seventeen years ago) link
I didn't reallize Simply Saucer was '70s. Some dude gave me a cd-r of one of their albums a few years ago and I sort of thought, "well, some things never change," thinking it was the new generation's alternapsyche. I'll have to dig it out again.

I'm pretty much convinced "Concubine" is one of the best songs I have ever listened to.
That is all.

What's this rumor about a 2008 Summer tour of Europe with Teresa & Pinkus? Anyone hear anything?
― StanM, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 14:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Total classic, was into them back in the day like some were into the Grateful Dead. Had mad bootlegs of their shows. But they lost it on Pioughd. Still a few good tracks on that lp, but maybe its Paul Learys production, or the upcoming big label support. I gave up on them in the 90s. Still think 'Double Live' is a fantastic record, 'Hairway to Steven' too. Punk, psychedelia, and a sick live show, what more could anyone want? I hear some Surfers in Comets on Fire for some reason, nowhere else though.
― U-Haul, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 19:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Classic, but my view of them these days is as much colored by the whole thing with Corey Rusk and T & G as it is by the swesomeness of Psychic Powerless.
Strange how a band so uncommercial in its amazing heyday should come to mean being all about the money, whatever shit you have to release, whatever friend you have to fuck over. . . .
― SecondBassman, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 19:42 (sixteen years ago) link
Classic - for 'Psychic Powerless...' and any live Buttholes show. Humour. The guitar in 'Mexican Caravan' . FFS. I could smell the desert dust on these deranged fucker's boots trying to score some smack.
Saw Pinkus' HONKY in Austin about 5 years ago. He was the softest, most loveliest piece of shit going. Just had to put his dog to sleep. It was sad.I think I mentioned it before but it's really not that interesting. RIP Pinkus' dog.

Sorry _ it was Jeff Pinkus' dog. It was ill. He had had to put it down before gig. I wasn't very clear.

I hear ya. their stage show between '86 and '90 has never been topped. they bottled up crazy and sold it like lemonade.

all those shows at the old ritz in nyc were pro-filmed. I'm patiently waiting for the day they slip out of the vaults....
