Funpunk is back in a big way, and Butts and Spurm totally bring it. Together with the mighty Wizzard Sleeve, they played the best KDVS Presents event to be criminally under-attended in recent memory at The Hub in Sacramento on Sunday night. You better be ready for them next time! And if you're near one of their four shows together on this tour, go see 'em!

Tue 3/30 in Los Angeles @ Hyperion Tavern
Club Ding-a-Ling
Wed 3/31 in San Diego @ Soda Bar
w/ The Vaginals & The Natives
Thu 4/1 in Los Angeles @ 5 Star bar
w/ Okie Dokie, Old Blood, Johnny O’Donnell
Fri, 4/2 in Los Angeles @ a house party
w/ Audacity

Spurm is a new-ish band featuring ex-dudes from The Trashies and The Intelligence, including the artist known as T.V. Coahran, plus three other genius-level funmakers. They sound rather like The Piranhas, skirting some of the same stylistic touchstones with a similar spazzy energy, but Spurm are certainly more pop-accessible which makes them all the more likely to be liked by fans of fun. You don't wanna miss a super-fun spastic post-garagepunk saxophone-rock band with an off-the-charts charismatic frontman, catchy keyboard lines, and the odd yet supremely appropriately placed vintage vocoder singalong. Sometimes you catch on to an exquisite detail of extraordinary song arrangement, and it's gotta whiff of that "A.M. gold", or whatever the irony-hangers-on are fancying, but it feels alright because it's apparently a joyful, guilt-free expression. If you were to plot Pere Ubu, R. Stevie Moore, and The Deadbeats, on a graph and found a point equidistant from those, and then bisected a line between that point and the best in house-party hijinks, then you'd arrive at Spurm! As you listen to this, please understand that the singer and saxophonist were bleeding all over the place and had to go to the hospital right after we burned their CDR of this session!!

Butts are two ladies playing garagey funpunk...all short songs about drinking, smoking cigs, smoking weed, riding the bus...y'know...relatable stuff! Butts were especially hilarious at The Hub. What they do would play even better on TV than radio. Their banter has me thinking they're the perhaps most Sacto band in Seattle. And I've never seen a gal pound a flask so hard between each and every song, and still hold it together!







The Spurm/Butts merch table has included cassette and CDs of themselves their GGNZLA mates, plus their own signature drinks...."GGNZLA Cola" and "GGNZLA Root Drink", which are Coke or root beer mixed with shots of Jagermeister in blue chemist's bottles that are shaped just like old Lucky Lagers with actual printed labels. They looked totally legit and were a hit with partiers.



One more Spurm-related video...Here's T.V. Coahran himself covering his favorite R. Stevie song...
