As Michael Azerrad makes abundantly clear in the most wildly entertaining chapter of his superlative book Our Band Could Be Your Life, Gibby Haynes of Butthole Surfers generally performed in little more than his underwear. Sometimes he tore off a number of women's dresses to get down to his natural state, sometimes (such as on the night that the band's soon-to-be-drummer King Coffey first saw them) he embellished the look with clothes pegs in his hair - but the fact remains that his onstage attire often consisted almost entirely of a pair of pants.
All of which just makes the news that Supreme have announced a Butthole Surfers clothing line even more bizarre.
