Call your acid dealer. This news from the Butthole Surfers’ MySpace page: The band will reunite for a brief stretch of U.S. live dates, to be followed by a European tour. They’ll be playing with a large chunk of the original lineup, with bassist Jeff Pinkus and both King Coffey and Teresa Taylor on drums. (Paul Leary is committed only for the NYC show thus far, but may play other U.S. dates). This is the first time this lineup has played together since 1989. To further weird this out, the band will be joined onstage by the Paul Green School of Rock All-Stars. That’s right: teenage kids live on stage with the Butthole Surfers.
Just let that sink in for a moment. Maybe go back and revisit their live “Blind Eye Sees All” video, and imagine these guys with underage kids at a concert. Times have changed, but let’s hope the Butthole Surfers haven’t.

June 24 - Asbury Park, NJ - Asbury Lanes
June 26 - Washington, DC - 9:30 Club
