Yo, Smash has a few pairs of tix to giveaway to this Friday’s screening of ****leSurfersTheHoleTruthAndNothingButt this Friday . If you want em, comment with a kerazy story regarding the band, Bu****les (try to keep it PG-13), and/or Surfers. Winner will be chosen in a day or two. Good luck!
——
“Once upon a time in Texas, two accounting students from Trinity College found solidarity in their weirdness, recruited like-minded misfits – qu**rs, weirdos, and nonconformists like – and embarked on one of the most radical rock journeys of all time. Forty years later, the Bu****le Surfers have warped minds, destroyed expectations, and made some of the strangest noise ever to come out of Austin (which is saying something).

Now, director Tom Stern (co-director of the cult classic FREAKED!) tells their story in BU****LE SURFERS: THE HOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUTT, an acclaimed new documentary built from rare archival footage, cutting-edge animation, surreal reenactments, and extensive interviews with the band. Richard Linklater, Flea, Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones, Henry Rollins, Ice-T, and more help trace the rise of a group whose legendary live shows transformed punk rock into communal performance art.”
