Watch : Butthole Surfers: The Whole Truth And Nothing Butt out now

Butthole Surfers: The Whole Truth And Nothing Butt, the bands highly acclaimed documentary is out now on Apple TV and Amazon to rent or own.

Directed by Tom Stern, the documentary dives into the strange, spectacular world of a band whose name alone once made newspaper editors flinch. Joining the band to help tell the story are Dave Grohl, Flea, Henry Rollins, Ian MacKaye, Steve Albini, Ice-T, John Paul Jones, Donita Sparks, Eric Andre, Richard Linklater and more, bringing together a formidable cast to explore the Butthole Surfers’ singular impact.

Combining archival footage, animation, puppetry and reenactments, the film captures the surrealist spectacle of a band who tore through the 1980s underground, building a devoted following through relentless touring and mind-bending live shows. Their collision of psychedelia, punk and grunge fed an energetic, confrontational live experience, while their radical inclusivity and gleeful assault on Reagan-era conformity made them a home for misfits. Even their name challenged what the mainstream was prepared to accommodate.

Director Tom Stern said: “The Butthole Surfers are one of the most mind-blowing stories in rock history. Our goal was to make a film that captured their essence, so the ecstatic reactions of film festival audiences have been deeply gratifying. I’m thrilled Sumerian has joined forces with us to bring this experience to an ever wider audience.”

Rob Williams, President of Sumerian Pictures, adds “Tom Stern and team are taking us on a wild ride and we are excited to bring audiences to the incredible story of these punk icons.”
