I'm honored to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of Revolutions Per Movie with two legends--King Coffey of Butthole Surfers & filmmaker Tom Stern (Freaked, The Idiot Box), who directed the new documentary BUTTHOLE SURFERS: THE HOLE TRUTH & NOTHING BUTT.We discuss the complicated relationship with Texas and what about that push/pull creates singular artistic statements, how Tom met the band and how he started filming the "Cherub" music video that same day, the Texas mythos, King's experience of seeing Butthole Surfers for the first time, Tom losing his house in the LA fires and using it to great dramatic effect in the documentary, what was the first song King felt like he added his stamp to, creating their iconic drum sound with Teresa Nervosa, how they got the puppetry in the documentary to mimic the band's movements so perfectly, the live Blind Eye Sees All VHS tape, King's other amazing band USA/Mexico, the story behind Tom's super 8mm Butthole Surfers epic The Bar-B-Que Movie starring a pre-Deadwood John Hawkes, putting melons on your head at flyswatting parties, building Gibby's flapping hair contraption, what it felt like for King being on stage in Butthole Surfers, King's thoughts on being interviewed about your trauma but having to make it entertaining, why the band thought Tom was the only person who could make a documentary about them, burning words into the audiences' retinas, scream therapy, the creation of their album Rembrandt Pussyhorse, how frank Johnny Depp is in the film about his and Gibby's addictions, how the first three albums were complete studio creations and how that changed later on, the Celebrity Club in Atlanta, their communal life styles and more!Thank you to everyone who has listened to Revolutions Per Movie Patreon these last three years.
