Butt Trumpet was a Los Angeles punk band that was known more for its crass lyrics and deliberately offensive style than its music. The group featured two bassists among its members. [ [http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=butt_trumpet&tr=y Butt Trumpet] at Trouser Press] They became famous in 1994 when their Chrysalis Records debut "Primitive Enema" was nearly banned from sale in a Massachusetts town after one mother heard her 12-year-old daughter listening to "Primitive Enema", which she called "audio porn."

The group splintered soon after their major-label debut, "Primitive Enema" was released, but three of the members regrouped in 1998 as Betty Blowtorch.
