Butthole Surfers Dates <sex wee>

[wavey davey]

No, that was 89. Best gig ever

Bloody hell, I'm even older than I thought I was!!!

i remember we actually bumped into the band walking to / from the site, and it made me laugh that the pictures they had on their passes / laminates were all of dogs!

That year / festival / gig set me on a whole new musical path...

 

[El Jefe]

Their manager in 1989 was also a dog

 

[sojourner]

woo! two of my bestest mates ever are now coming too - enthusiasm doesn't quite cover what they said in their texts when i asked em

 

[Sunspots]

Just found out they're playing in Bristol too, on 18th July.

 

[moonsi til]

I'm seeing them tomorrow in Wolves...

At the Academy, I believe...

(-Don't know how true it is, but I heard the other day that Paul Leary's now on board for the European/UK dates after all. )

Smeh, so expensive, then.

*considers*

Well I read an interview with Gibby today where he said Leary did some reunion shows, but it was ambiguous whether or not that boded well for the UK

Oh, and the School of Rock - looks like they're actually playing WITH the Buttholes

It says on their MySpace that he'll be playing here, but your source appears a bit more up to date.

Oh well, I guess time will tell.

£17, I think?

I, unfortunately, have another long-standing engagement to attend that evening.

Nah, your source is good enough for me

So Im not seeing them tomorrow it's on July 22nd! My mate text me to ask if I wanted a ticket for them tomorrow. He meant did I want him to get mine for me... So maybe I will make areobics afterall ?

 

[mr steev]

I've just discovered this too.

Oh well, the last time I saw them was Reading 89... nearly 20 years ago! So another couple of weeks aren't going to matter

 

[El Jefe]

So has anyone seen them yet then?

 

[girasol]

My ex was mad about them and made me see listen to it and watch videos over and over and over.

But I can't remember much - apart from 'Hairway to Steven' that really stuck

nutters!
(I might go and rediscover them - first tune I found on you tube sounds good - Pepper - and the memories are coming back)

A wise, wise man (despite what other faults he may have had )

He's one of the good exes, so no 'major' faults, just not meant to be

Forum - London

See you there!!

 

[sojourner]

So has anyone seen them yet then?

Yep, and tbh, the first half was more than a tad disappointing. Did pick up though - must have done, I was headbanging at one point



Don't ask Annierak though - she was so wankered by the time we got there she can't actually remember it

 

[mr steev]

So has anyone seen them yet then?

Sadly I had to give it a miss... a combination of forgetting about it again, (I got reminded an hour before) and having a knackered back

It got moved to smaller side room apparently due to ticket sales - but was rammed in the smaller room. But it meant they couldn't do their full show... minimal lights and a gnarly sound apparently

 

[El Jefe]

Poor sales? Disappointing?

Not good signs

 

[Biddlybee]

So has anyone seen them yet then?

Cptn's going on Saturday... it is on Saturday not Friday?

 

[sojourner]

Yeh, but each gig's different though, eh?

Gibby himself seemed to having a smashing time - permanent grin on his chops

 

[Cpatain Rbubish]

I si ecxited baout tonight yeha!

 

[Cpatain Rbubish]

P.S FOA El Jefe

Eh hem, Cardiacs watch my friend?

 

[El Jefe]

ah yes, no worries. i'll go get it.

We're meeting in the Pineapple (Leverton Road) beforehand, probably 6.30ish, but (see other thread) we may not be the best company to be honest

But i'll have it with me
