American experimental rock band Butthole Surfers was founded by Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary in San Antonio, Texas in 1981. With a unique blend of punk, psychedelic, and alternative rock, they have carved out their own distinct sound.

The current lineup consists of founding members Gibby Haynes (vocals) and Paul Leary (guitar), as well as Jeffrey "King" Coffey (drums) and Jeffrey Pinkus (bass). Over the years, the band has seen various changes in its lineup, with notable past members including Teresa "Nervosa" Taylor, Nathan Calhoun, Owen McMahon, Kytha Gernatt (Cabbage), Mark Kramer, Trevor Malcolm, Terence Smart, Bill Jolly, Brad Perkins, Quinn Matthews, Scott Matthews, Andrew Mullin,and Scott Stevens.

Known for their wild live performances and controversial lyrics [not mentioned], Butthole Surfers have gained a dedicated fanbase over the years. Their albums like "Psychic... Powerless... Another Man's Sac" and "Locust Abortion Technician" are considered influential works within the experimental rock genre. With their boundary-pushing music and unpredictable stage presence [not mentioned], Butthole Surfers continue to captivate audiences worldwide.

The Matador label began in 1989 when [a=Chris Lombardi] dragged the Austrian duo H.P. Zinker into Wharton Tiers’ Fun City studio to record OLE-001, ...and there was light. Run out of Chris’ New York apartment, Lombardi added artists such as the Dustdevils, Railroad Jerk and Superchunk to the initial roster. Joined by longtime Homestead Records manager Gerard Cosloy in 1990, Matador experienced its first taste of crazed media attention & big sales with the North American release of Teenage Fanclub’s debut long-player, A Catholic Education. Over the years, the label has moved from shoebox sized offices to larger and larger complexes, the staff has grown from 2 to 24, and the roster has simply exploded. As well as functioning as the North American home to Pavement, Liz Phair and The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Matador has helped artists such as Yo La Tengo, Cat Power, Cornelius, Solex, Pizzicato Five, Helium and the Arsonists reach audiences worldwide.

Matador has also served as the North American licensee for a number of exceptional international acts, including Belle & Sebastian, Mogwai, Boards of Canada, Red Snapper, Arab Strap and others. Since 1996, Matador has maintained separate offices and staff in London. In addition to supervising the promotion, sales and marketing of Matador titles on the continent, Matador Europe has also licensed recordings from some of North America’s most acclaimed new artists, M. Ward, Sleater-Kinney, Modest Mouse, and Superchunk to name a few.

While Matador has often been characterized (not by the label itself) as an underground or "indie" rock label, over the years, the label’s musical direction has grown, to the point where many hip hop, electronic and experimental acts play as prominent a role in the label’s sound & future as any number of singer/songwriters and rock bands. Sometimes all of the above converge.

During the 1990s, Matador entered into partnerships with [l=Atlantic] and [l=Capitol Records]. In 1999, Lombardi & Cosloy purchased back Capitol's 49% share of the label, and in 2002, [l613604] purchased 50% of the legal entities behind the Matador label / imprint [l390562] and [l291335] and took over Matador's worldwide marketing.

Remastered. Psychic… Powerless… Another Man’s Sac is the first full-length 
studio album by the Butthole Surfers. It’s the first album to feature 
the playing of second drummer Teresa Nervosa, hired shortly after the 
release of the Butthole Surfers EP. Psychic… shows the band taking a 
more radical psychedelic shift in style from their earlier surreal punk 
sound. The Surfers make heavy use of tape editing and unusual 
instrumentation to create a bewildering, almost nightmarish atmosphere 
prevalent throughout the album. This album has since been highly lauded 
by critics, who consider it one of the Butthole Surfers' best efforts.
