Film Trailer:
A documentary feature about legendary psychedelic punk band, Butthole Surfers. The film traces how two accounting students from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, found solidarity in their shared strangeness, gathered a tribe of like-minded outsiders—queers, weirdos, and nonconformists, including the unforgettable naked performance artist/dancer Kathleen Lynch—and launched one of the most radical and unpredictable paths in rock history. Against all odds, and with a proudly unmarketable name, they became unlikely icons, inspiring acts like Nirvana and even landing a number one hit. Their live shows were one of a kind events—communal rites of passage for band and audience—the perfect antithesis of the digital isolation of our modern age.
The film also goes deep on the personal lives behind the chaos—an intimate portrait of lead singer Gibby Haynes, guitar wizard Paul Leary, drummers Teresa Nervosa and King Coffey, and bassist Jeff Pinkus—five uncompromising originals whose lives took extraordinary turns.
