THIS IS A DOCUMENTARY WHOSE TIME HAS COME.  THE BUTTHOLE SURFERS ARE LEGENDS. NO ONE FLEW THEIR FREAK FLAG HIGHER. 

The band exploded onto the underground music scene in the 1980s, amazing a growing audience as they built one of the most mind-boggling surrealist rock and roll spectacles ever devised. Their very name was a fuck you to the straight, conformist, homophobic Reagan ethos of the time. They were radically inclusive and pushed the limits of artistic expression and lifestyle.

They lived on the edge – nomadic art-punk pioneers on an endless tour, blowing minds and spreading their art to a cult following. When they started, their name was so shocking newspapers wouldn’t print it. Ten years later, Beavis and Butthead and Letterman were saying it on prime-time national TV.

Insiders always knew how important they were: one of Kurt Cobain's favorite bands, Perry Farrell asked them to perform at the first Lollapalooza, Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones produced their first major label record, and their fans are a who’s who of some of the world’s most influential artists.

"The greatest Rock N' Roll Doc ever made!" - Creem Magazine

“Amongst the great music docs of all time! Captures the anarchic spirit of this legendary band - hilarious, moving, and some of the most fun I’ve had in a theater in years. This should be seen far and wide.” - Richard Linklater

"Poignant, hilarious, and a true reflection of the mythical '80s Texas psych-punk band... easily the highest laugh count of any documentary I've experienced." - Jeff Feuerzeig, Director, The Devil and Daniel Johnston
