From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jackofficers was a short-lived side project started by Gibby Haynes and Jeff Pinkus of the Butthole Surfers.[1][2] They released their only album, Digital Dump, in 1990 and disbanded the same year following a brief club tour that found them simply hitting play on a Sony Walkman and standing there while it played.[citation needed] The music consisted entirely of samples manipulated and mixed on early computer software and f/x. Samples range from Jimi Hendrix spoken words to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.[3][4]

The Chicago Tribune wrote: "Sounding somewhere between industrial dance such as Ministry and Herbie Hancock, this stuff is OK if you want to dance in a dump."[6] Spin called it "mega-brilliant weirdness."[7] The Washington Post stated that the album is "a little funkier, and a little funnier, than most industrial."[8]
