Butthole Surfers: The Hole Truth and Nothing Butt

Follows the story of the Butthole Surfers - the groundbreaking and influential art-punk band founded in early-eighties A documentary feature about the legendary American punk band Butthole Surfers. The film tells the story of how two accounting students from Trinity College in San Antonio found solidarity in their weirdness, recruited like-minded misfits – queers, weirdos, and nonconformists like naked performance artist/dancer Kathleen Lynch – and embarked on one of the most radical rock journeys of all time. Somehow this band, with a defiantly non-commercial name, ended up as a major influence on acts like Nirvana and even scored a No. 1 hit song. Beyond the band’s story, the film tells the human story of the people behind the band. It gives an intimate look at lead singer Gibby Haynes, guitar wizard Paul Leary, drummers Teresa Nervosa and King Coffey, and bassist Jeff Pinkus – five American originals with incredible personal stories.
