Butthole Surfers Kick Off First Tour In Five Years Oct. 16

NEW YORK (AP) - The Butthole Surfers will hit the road for the first time in five years on Oct. 16 in Providence, R.I.

The band - singer Gibby Haynes, guitarist Paul Leary, and drummer King Coffey -- will be augmented by bassist Nathan Calhoun and guitarist-drummer Josh Klinghoffer for the tour. Kid 606, a one-man act who's friends with Coffey, will serve as the opener.
