I saw BHS in Seattle right around the Psychic...Powerless... album. They had just finished Wichita Cathedral and the crowd was screaming out requests a la Freebird. I wanted to hear Hey, but what good would it do to shout out "Hey!" in a crowd? I screamed out "Let's go to Hell!" at the top of my lungs and the room fell almost silent for a split second. Then the bass line started up. Sheer awesomeness!

Seeing them October 18th at Club Nokia with the Melvins

@cobyblack

yeh they covered earthquake beautifully. there is a tribute to roky (buttholes did a song called after him too) erikson of the 13th floor elevators called "when the eye meets the pyramid, with contributions from many well known bands including bongwater, buttholes, and even zz-top (one of them was in the early elevators! worth hearing, if a few shallow shit tracks on it, many are very good.

and their are smoother natural ways to trip, see psilocybe cubensis, u only need one to three.

@cobyblack when you download, just dont clik on the "noise" songs? they are one of the best psychedelic bands around! and interestingly it is their post 90s "clean" sounding stuff which isnt as psychedelic. but then, they had done the underground rounds, and deserved a bit of radio and tv airplay.

[cobyblack]

@gnowave I never heard of 13th floor elevators so I'll check them out also! btw I don't want to do anything with other drugs than marijuana, at least at the moment lol also for some reason I feel that it wouldn't be the best idea to listen to buttholes on my first acid trip

[cobyblack]

@gnowave in these past months I was listening a lot to this band, and you what do you know I began to like them even more, now I can enjoy the noise they make while playing "something" live, I love every track on these albums: Butthole Surfers, PCPPEP, piouhgd ( usually I skip "barking dogs" but it's cool in the right mood), hairway to steven and psychic...powerless... I love those albums! and it's very hard to play instrument when you're on drugs or drunk...thanks I'll check those bands also

[gnowave]

@gnowave oh, and if you do try acid, and liten to buttholes, hold on tight to your seat. if you have any holes in your armour you'll fry! chuckle chuckle.

[gnowave]

@cobyblack yeh, they were hevily into strong spirit alcohol, LSD, and bong-smoking.

but, these days theres a better choice of LSD/psychedelic stuff to listen to, but at least the buttholes in their own way kept the trip flag flying. gibby, what a fun guy. i felt they had much in common with the 60s band 13th floor elevators in spirit somehow. and their cover of 13th floor elevators "earthquake" is excelent. check out bands called bongwater and shockabilly, same generations acid rock.
