Just found out that Scott Mathews, original drummer and one of the founding members of Butthole Surfers, lost his battle with cancer recently. Condolences to his friends and family. I, unfortunately, never got to speak with Scott directly fer the site, but have met lots of folks who knew and loved him. Many old fans consider the early days of the band the best, and Scott, no doubt, had a big part in formulating the Butthole Surfers from its early punk rock roots into its later psych-garage sound and .many of the songs that he originally played with them would be released long after his tenure in the band.
There are still a bunch of shows up there ya can grab fer free...ya can write me there too if ya have and comments or suggestions!...
Despite the good news of new or upgraded recordings, nothing has materialized of yet...if ya got 'em, please, drop a line and lemme know!
Updated the LIST section!...finally!!

Some really exciting developments of late.
A copy of 'Witness...Butthole Surfers' has shown up on YouTube!...It was thought the movie was never transferred from 8mm format, but must have been fer the MTV X-Ray segment...whatever the case may be, it's finally 'out there'! It's brilliant go check it out!!
The long sought after Sonic Youth recording from June of 1985, where Teresa and King join in for a tribal jam session, has FINALLY surfaced...
Paul has been busy producing the new East Bay Ray record. Pictures up on EBR's myspace page.
