Cat Butt

Cat Butt was a Seattle, Washington rock group formed in 1987. The band did a short West Coast tour, and then went on to record their first full-length album, Journey to the Center Of. It was produced by Jack Endino of Skin Yard. To promote the album the band did a large U.S. tour, before disbanding in late 1990. Although not achieving the success of other Sub Pop bands, they maintained a loyal cult following in the Pacific Northwest.

Trivia
gollark: Any HTTP one, probably?
gollark: It might decode DFPWM.
gollark: I don't know how it works in new versions beyond that they let you feed raw PCM to the speaker.
gollark: As an efficient person, my inventory is just my atomic disassembler, beheading sword (cleaver), remote interfaces to my storage, staff of travelling, wrench, akashic tome (unified documentation book thing for mods), flux capacitor, Psi CAD, mining laser, mana tablet, teleporter, and random trash I forgot to stick in storage.
gollark: Anyway, the issue with CC storage systems is that the UI is bad and they are often quite slow.
