Butthole Surfers - Locust Abortion Technician
I love this record and seeing the band was unforgettable. The second time I saw them was in NYC with Redd Kross. I had taken a few hits of acid and went to see the show and I remember thinking that the show was a week long. At one point during their set, I asked Neil what day of the week it was and if they were gonna feed us "tomorrow".

I'm not sure that they actually influenced Royal Trux' music or attitude in any real way, other than enjoying people being true to themselves, but a lot of the artists I like have strong personalities.
