Episode Description from the Publisher

On this week’s episode of The Cobain 50, Dusty Henry digs deep into the two Butthole Surfers albums from Kurt’s list – Pee Pee The Sailor (also known as their self-titled debut EP) and Locust Abortion Technician. In one of the more expletive ridden artists on the list, we hear about the band’s story from underground legends to surprising mainstream success. Butthole Surfers pushed the envelope from just their name alone through their storied live performances and some of the most fiercely experimental and artistically free music of their era. Hosts: Dusty Henry and Martin Douglas Audio producers: Matt Martin and Roddy Nikpour Podcast manager: Isabel Khalili Editorial director: Larry Mizell Jr.  Support the podcast: kexp.org/cobain See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
