Butthole Surfers, "Pepper" | Episode 52

8 Listeners
The Butthole Surfers were known for their early outlandish shows, but (no pun intended) they're so much more than that. Homegrown in San Antonio, the Butthole Surfers broke social norms and broke the mold along the way. In this continuation of our '90s miniseries, hear their storied history (including how frontman Gibby Haynes incorporated his pet roach into shows), how "Pepper" came about, and how the now-classic music video came to star CHiPs star Erik Estrada. Hear us talk about seeing the band live, Gibby Haynes' unmatched showmanship, and how they still manage to captivate audiences.
In this ep, we also chat about '90s bands playing at San Antonio's famed oyster bake, including Everclear, P.O.D., and more.
