The Butthole Surfers drummer Teresa Taylor and star of Richard Linklater’s 1991 Gen X classic “Slacker,” died this weekend, the band announced on Twitter on Monday.
“Teresa Taylor passed away peacefully this weekend after a long battle with lung disease. She will live in our hearts forever. Rip, dear friend,” the notice on Twitter read.
Taylor, also billed as Teresa Nervosa, joined the band in 1983, but left in 1989 after experiencing light-induced seizures that were due to a brain aneurysm, according to Pitchfork. In 1993, she underwent brain surgery, which allowed her to perform again.

Teresa Taylor, a drummer for the indie rock band Butthole Surfers who had a small but memorable role in the 1990 film Slacker as a “pusher” trying to sell an unusual Madonna souvenir, died Sunday of lung disease, her former bandmates have announced.
Taylor, who sometimes used the stage name Teresa Nervosa, “passed away peacefully this weekend after a long battle with lung disease,” the Butthole Surfers tweeted today. “She will live in our hearts forever. Rip, dear friend.”
Born in Arlington, Texas, Taylor played drums in her high school marching band alongside fellow percussionist King Coffey. After joining the San Antonio-based rock band, Coffey recruited his friend Taylor to join. The two drummers would perform in unison, often standing up, giving the band its early signature sound and visual style.
Taylor left the band in 1989 after experiencing seizures caused by a brain aneurysm. She underwent brain surgery in 1993. The group had an infectious No.

Last week, we shared Rick Livingstone’s memories of his time singing lead in the 1990 supergroup the Best alongside John Entwistle, Joe Walsh, Keith Emerson, and Jeff “Skunk” Baxter. Their set mixed songs by the Who, the Eagles, Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, though the group dissolved after just four gigs in Japan and one in Hawaii. But thanks to a professionally filmed show at the Yokohama Arena and the magic of YouTube, they’ve had a long afterlife.
