No, it doesn't sound like the Butthole Surfers. It was never going to sound like Butthole Surfers. Get over it !!!

It's time to revisit Paul Leary's 1992 debut solo LP - the avalanche of sound he titled The History Of Dogs, Revisited here with two additional tracks that did not appear on the original LP, including one that will soon appear as the first video from the LP, "Speedo Man".

You won't believe your eyes. Believe me. This 1992 LP was way ahead of its time.

Originally released on Rough Trade Records during the glory days of Butthole Surfers' crash course across the stages of every music festival criss-crossing the globe, this is zany, complex, unhinged, and sometimes just gloriously weird music, but it also features some of the most catchy indie pop music anthems you'll ever hear, and certainly far catchier than anything you'd ever hear from the Butthole Surfers catalog of psychedelic hysteria.

Kramer, who played bass guitar in the band in 1985, says, "It was the year of the dog, and i was the bassist in the greatest band in the world. Life was good." Last year, Shimmy-Disc released Paul's second solo LP, Born Stupid to rave reviews. It was his first solo LP in nearly 30 years.

Now it's 2022 and Shimmy-Disc is reissuing Paul's first solo LP, remastered for vinyl, with a vengeance. Like Kramer said... Life is Good.
