Finally tells the story that was thought (and often hoped) would never be told...

The Butthole Surfers remain one of the most
enigmatic bands in the history of rock music. Most of their records have
no information of any kind, and often with the suggestion that you play
them at 69 rpm.... They lived like nomads through much of the 1980s,
and built their reputation upon tours that never ended, and shows that
resembled hedonistic acid tests. They left a heap of former band members
in their wake, and have often alienated as many fans as they've
attracted. Here for the first time is the complete story of one of the
most controversial and dangerous bands to have emerged from the ashes of
the punk rock movement.
Let's Go to Hell compiles the
scattered memories into the first comprehensive overview of the band.
Featuring exclusive interviews, tons of rare and unpublished
photographs, and analysis of the band's vast recorded (and unrecorded)
efforts, Let's Go to Hell finally tells the story that was thought (and often hoped) would never be told...
Author James Burns lives in Saugerties, NY with his wife and four children. He founded Cheap Drugs Records in 2000. Let's Go to Hell is
the 9th release of the label, and first book to bear the Cheap Drugs
name... James been running the Butthole Surfers Anal Obsession archive
for more years than he wants to admit.
