Butthole Surfers' Haynes Joins Rockin' Children for Tour

Did you see that Daniel Johnston documentary? Well, you really ought to. Anyway, remember that part where Dan-- a little bent, perhaps, but not yet quite broken-- drops a faceful of acid at a Butthole Surfers show and winds up convincing himself that the devil is trying to kill him or something? Even without the mind-probing psychedelics and cymbals on fire, seems like a strange environment to invite children into, no?

Gibby Haynes-- de facto leader of exponentially unfathomable, long-running psych-punk-whatever amalgamators Butthole Surfers-- will join a cadre of kiddies from the Paul Green School of Rock for a series of six dates in February (one, on the 12th, has yet to be confirmed). And together they'll play Butthole Surfers material.

The Paul Green School-- featured in the documentary film Rock School and not the similarly titled Jack Black/Richard Linklater film School of Rock-- is a network of intensive music training programs for kids aged 8-18, and the school's "All Stars" often pay tribute to and even gig out with famed musicians many years their senior.

Forthcoming events include performances of the music of the Ramones, Devo, and AC/DC, but the Surfers thing still seems singularly amazing, if shockingly age-inappropriate. With GG Allin and Wendy O. Williams off to the great puke-soaked green room in the sky, what living figure could possibly be a stranger fit for the gig? Peaches?

Uhhhh:

02-10 New Hope, PA - Jon and Peter's
02-12 TBA
02-13 Asbury Park, NJ - Asbury Lanes
02-15 Boston, MA - Middle East
02-16 Philadelphia, PA - The Trocadero

Yeah, I heard about this a few weeks ago. All I'm saying: he's got the power of an upright in his goddamned hands.

Ive seen them do Iggy and The Stooges (TV Eye), they also backed Perry Farrell doing the Ocean Song. Some of those kids are really good instrumentalists. This might be definitely something to consider checking out.
