The Whole Truth and Nothing Butt is the new, long-gestating documentary film about Austin, Texas psychedelic punk legends The Buttholes Surfers, and EVR welcomes filmmaker Tom Stern to the booth along with guitarist Paul Leary. Formed in 1981, the Surfers mutated from the hardcore scene into a full on, acid-drenched circus that visually were a Dada-inspired, full-on theatrical immersive live experience unparalleled by any peers. Dark comedy, exploration of the seediest facets of America’s underbelly, film, dance, strobe lights, fire, and a crushing sonic wall all constituted a Butthole Surfers show, unforgettable to any who witnessed. Throughout the years, the band’s footprint galvanized outsider artists, musicians and filmmakers with inspiration, not to mention the burgeoning grunge movement that exploded in the ’90s. They even had a rock radio hit. The film, screening at Nighthawk Cinema in Prospect Park April 29th and 30th, is being presented by the Doc N Roll Festival. A large LP reissue campaign on Matador Records has happened in 2023, and the band has also announced a June date for an unreleased 1998 LP After the Astronaut. Psyched to have these guys in for a chat today!
