The Hugh Beaumont Experience was a punk rock band from Fort Worth, Texas. The band's original lineup was Brad Stiles on vocals, Tommie Duncan on guitar, Clay Carlisle on bass, and Carter Kolba on drums. They were one of the first well-known bands associated with punk rock in Texas, having formed in 1980 by members of the private school, Fort Worth Country Day School, in Fort Worth; they toured throughout Texas in 1981-82, including dates with MDC and The Dead Kennedys. Their notoriety was short-lived, however, as the band had broken up by 1983, having released one 7-inch called "Cone Johnson EP" (now a collector's item) and a cassette called "Virgin Killers". This material was re-released in 1993 on Existential Vacuum Records. They did a recording session with Bob Mould of Hüsker Dü.

The band included King Coffey as one of its members, who would later become a member of Butthole Surfers; the group's notoriety increased significantly when the Surfers became a widely known alternative rock group.

Accessed September 20, 2007.] Despite only existing for three years, the band went through a large number of lineup changes, with a corresponding diversity of styles; their earlier work is Sex Pistols-indebted punk, their middle work is more hardcore influenced, and their later style flirts with psychedelic rock and more experimental rock techniques.
