Beme Seed was an American psychedelic noise rock band led by Kathleen Lynch, known for her collaboration with the Butthole Surfers. The band utilized guitar feedback and chanting to invoke a droning atmosphere in their music described as "panic inducing", [1] and "supernatural". [2] Trouser Press said of the band: "Lacking the minimal organization of even the Sun City Girls, Beme Seed captures unique psychic qualities on its three opaque and unsettling records." [1] The demise of Beme Seed in 1992 can be seen as marking the transition from the " underground music" of the 1980s to the " alternative rock" of the early 1990s. [1]
