Art Event #5: Butt Hole Surfers

I saw the Butt Hole Surfers play at Kanes on Oct. 13, 2009. This is a band that has been around forever. I use to hear them play in surf videos when I was growing up. I had never seen them before this night. They are a surf rock/punk band. You could tell that they had been playing together for a long time because they sounded really tight and didn’t miss a beat. They had a huge following of middle aged people along with mixed younger crowd. I felt like I was back in high school watching my favorite surf video again. When I was younger I think that I liked that type of music a lot more. I don’t really care for Punk music anymore. It seems like a lot of noise and not much music. It was a good time overall. I would say see the band if you are familiar with the surf community. Other than that it wouldn’t be something high on my list.
