Butt Trumpet is a Los Angeles-based punk band founded and maintained by Thom Bone. It is known for its crass lyrics and deliberately offensive style. The group features two bassists among its members.{{cite web|url=http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=butt_trumpet&tr=y |title=Butt Trumpet |publisher=TrouserPress.com |date= |accessdate=May 14, 2014}} They became famous in 1994 when their Chrysalis Records debut, Primitive Enema, was the subject of a debated sale ban in a Massachusetts town after one mother heard her 12-year-old daughter listening to it, which she called "audio porn."{{cite web|author=John Bush |url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/butt-trumpet-mn0000626426 |title=Butt Trumpet | Biography |publisher=AllMusic |date= |accessdate=May 14, 2014}} Dan Druff played in the group briefly in 1995. The "Enema" lineup splintered soon after Primitive Enema was released, but three of the members regrouped in 1998 as Betty Blowtorch.{{cite web |author=Katherine Turman |url=http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2001-08-09/music/sleaze-queens/ |title=Sleaze Queens |publisher=Phoenix New Times |date=August 9, 2001 |accessdate=May 14, 2014 |archive-date=May 17, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140517134159/http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2001-08-09/music/sleaze-queens/ |url-status=dead }} The founder of the project, Thom Bone, continues to release and tour with various deliberately unstable band lineups to this day.
