Touch & Go is Gone

It was announced today that the Butthole Surfer's former label, Touch & Go, has shuttered. The music industry is in a shambles, and it's not surprising that small labels are having trouble keeping up. Sounds like big labels are having trouble too.

Here is the story of what transpired between them. Buttholes suffered from a lot of bad publicity, and for the first time in my life I saw musicians siding with the record label over the band. It leaves a bad taste in everybody's mouth.
