Artist

Butthole Surfers is a band known for their diverse musical style and influential covers such as "The Hurdy Gurdy Man". "Pepper" always sounded like "Beck" and lastly "Cherub" stands out as one of the band's most experimental tracks. Despite a prolonged period of silence, the band's official website, https://www.buttholesurfers.com/, remains active, featuring a distinctive symbol.

Primus

DJ Sakura chose "Tommy The Cat" for this block. It was featured on the 'Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey' soundtrack during the 90s. Moving on to "My Name is Mud" and "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver," both videos were often showcased on what used to be "120 Minutes" back in the day on MTV. Primus still in charge of the opening for "SOUTH PARK" are still quiet active. HP https://primusville.com/

The infectious beat, compelling lyrics, and energizing rhythm make it perfect for stomping along. It's exciting to see that they are currently on tour!

NIN's cover of QUEEN's song 'Get Down Make Love' was featured on the SIN EP from 1990, released after 'Pretty Hate Machine' but before 'The Downward Spiral'.
