Jacofficers were a one album offshoot for the Butthole Surfers Gibby Haynes and Jeff Pinkus. Supposedly very interested in the house music scene, they came up with their own version. What it sounds more like is a computerised version of a BS without vocals (though Gibby sings on a track or two..) Very sample heavy, very early computer music technology. I've also heard a story that the to guys actually played a couple Jackofficers shows - where they just put a cassette of this album in a boombox and pressed play and kind of danced to it - seems similar in theory to the Strangulated Beatoffs, who have played less than a handful of shows in their 20 year existence (another band for another day..)
