The Butthole Surfers started way back in 1981 with Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary started a band. They quickly grew a reputation in Texas and throughout the country as one of the most provocative and outlandish bands in the country. They had a massive influence on contemporary artists like Kurt Cobain, White Zombie, and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They hit massive success with their album electriclarryland and the single Pepper. After the success of their album they had a follow album After the Astronaut, but because of disputes with their record label and problems with their manager they never were able to release it until now. The band is planning on releasing it June 26th 2026. Before the album is released Paul was nice enough to come on the show! Paul and Doc talk about starting Butthole Surfers, going on Capital records, working with John Paul Jones, Paul getting invited to produce for the Meat Puppets and Sublime, recording with Stone Temple Pilots, touring with Nirvana, recording electriclarryland,
