I may make this one if if Leary plays. Seth or anybody else in the know about this yet? Gotta have Leary:
Straight from the surfers website:
Butthole Surfers will be playing shows on the east
coast and Europe this summer.
For these shows, Jeff Pinkus will be on bass and
Teresa Taylor (along with King Coffey) on drums. This
is the rhythm section the band had for most of the 80s
and marks the first time this line up has played
together since 1989.
Paul Leary has prior commitments and unfortunately
can't play the European dates (he will be on stage for
the New York City show and possibly more stateside).
However, fear not, our European friends. Joining the
band onstage for all shows in the US and Europe will
be The Paul Green School of Rock All-Stars. This mob
of teenage geniuses will blow your mind, forming a
virtual Butthole Surfers Orchestra when they play with
Gibby and company.

Teresa will not be playing on this tour after all.
Paul will be playing the US shows after Europe (Newmarket, New Hampshire, on July 28 and NYC, July 29th), but it looks like he probably won't play the June US dates. He still hasn't committed one way or the other on those dates, so it's conceivable he might play one or more of them. It's not looking too likely, though.
The confirmed lineup for the June shows is Gibby, Jeff, and King, with the School of Rock All-Stars.

They're in NYC now rehearsing for the shows. Teresa is back in the lineup, and Paul Leary is playing all of the US and UK shows. It's the full 80s lineup, plus the SOR kids.
RADICAL

I'm really looking forward to this show…it should be a good one.

The set is 22 songs, and there's only one Pinkus [the last member to join the band] didn't know. They're playing old songs.
How do you know all of these facts? Don't get me wrong, I'm PSYCHED to hear it all…just curious.

It's information from the band's message board.
I garbled a little of what I wrote last night. King had said there was only one song Pinkus hadn't played before…and the more relevant fact would be that Pinkus left the band about 15 years ago.

That portends well. I don't if 'portends' is the appropriate word there, but it sounded cool and grave.
I'm really looking forward to this. I don't know about nkotb, but I was a bit let down by the Gibby/School of Rock show earlier in the year. It was great hearing the songs, but Gibby looked like such a dusty, bemused uncle, with this down-the-nose spectacles and lyric sheets. I'd dared to dream that he'd come out with his eyeballs pierced wearing a suit made of dying orphans, and it just wasn't to be.
But I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. Leary being there is a big plus, and seeing King and Teresa banging together will be great. I can't imagine what the SoR kids will add to it, but that's not my call.
But I wouldn't miss it. It's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.

Satan! Satan! Satan!
Satan! Satan! Satan!
so, i've never been to a BHS show. what should i expect? i take it they aren't as wild as they used to be (what with the kids from the SoR around)… anyone attend this show?
One show in Washington D.C. with G.W.A.R. saw Kathleen take the stage to dance in nothing but gold body paint and antique wooden snow shoes. And at another particularly wild concert in 1986, Haynes and Lynch reportedly engaged in sexual intercourse while on stage, as Leary used a screwdriver to vandalize the club's speakers. This came after only five songs, during which time Haynes had started a small fire.
