King Coffey (born Jeffrey Coffey; 1964) is an American drummer, known for being the drummer of the psychedelic/noise rock band Butthole Surfers.[1]
He began drumming in a Fort Worth hardcore punk band called The Hugh Beaumont Experience in high school. Around that same time, he also published a fanzine called Throbbing Cattle. He saw the Butthole Surfers for the first time in 1982 at a time when Scott Matthews was their drummer. Coffey replaced him in 1983[2] and is still the band's official drummer.
In 1990, Coffey founded the independent record label Trance Syndicate,[3] and released records by primarily Texas-based artists,[4] including his band Drain.[5] In 1995, he co-founded the Emperor Jones record label with his husband Craig Stewart.[6][7]
Besides the Butthole Surfers and Drain, Coffey played in Rubble, Same Sac, Air Traffic Controllers, and guested on Daniel Johnston, Richard Buckner, and Shit and Shine recordings.[8]
In 2001, Coffey was elected into the Austin Music Awards Hall of Fame.[9]
Coffey currently runs the Latino Buggerveil record label, home to the Butthole Surfers' indie catalog, and drums for the noise rock band USA/Mexico.
