A Night With JD Pinkus & Joecephus and The George Jonestown Massacre
Join us for A Night with JD Pinkus & Joecephus and The George Jonestown Massacre!
JD Pinks is an American bassist best known for his work with American punk band Butthole Surfers from1985 to 1994 and since the 2009 reunion.
In 1990, he and Butthole Surfers' lead vocalist Gibby Haynes released Digital Dump, the only album from their psychedelic house music side project The Jackofficers.
Upon leaving Butthole Surfers, Pinkus worked full-time with the Austin trio Daddy Longhead, which he had assembled during his waning months in the band, and which included longtime Atlanta associate Jimbo Young on guitar and Rey Washam on drums. Daddy Longhead retired after 10 years, leaving Pinks free to explore other projects including Skinny Leonard and Areola 51. Pinks played with Helios Creed on his albums NUGG:
The Transport [1996] and Activated Condition [1998], and has also collaborated with Bad Livers frontman Danny Barnes several times in a live setting.
JD Pinkus then co-founded the band Honky who went on to record five albums and are still currently active.
Pinks also performs with Pure Luck, who released a self-titled release in 2017 on Heavy Feather Records. He leaves his bass to play Banjo and Guitar in this project. On their 30th anniversary tour in 2013, Pinks joined the Melvins in place of Jared Warren (on paternity leave) as well as performing with the opening Honky. He subsequently joined the Melvins full-time, touring with them in 2014 in support of the album Hold It In, which also featured Butthole Surfers founder Paul Leary, and again
in 2015. He also plays on the song Captain Come Down which was first released in 2015 on Chaos as Usual, a split release with Le Butcherettes, and later included on the 2016 album Basses Loaded.
In 2018, JD Pinkus released a solo album, Keep on the Grass on cassette tape on Danny Barnes Minner Bucket Records and later Vinyl and Compact Disc through Heavy Feather Records. It was recorded entirely on banjo and features a rendition of the song Bride of Crankenstein from the Melvins album Hold It In.
The Keepon the Grass album release show was with Sleep in San Pedro on September 15th 2018.
On February 12, 2018, the Melvins announced that Pinkus would be joining them, alongside current bassist Steven McDonald (Redd Kross), on their next album and subsequent tour. Released on April 20, 2018, the aptly titled Pinks Abortion Technician features both bass players and four songs written or co-written by Pinks. In May of 2021 JD Pinkus and Daddy Longhead released another album titled 'Twinkle" which was originally recorded but not distributed in 1998.
JD Pinkus is now releasing his second solo "space grass" banjo album titled "Fungus Shui." The album was written, recorded, and mixed by Pinks himself at Plastic Cannon Studio in Asheville, North Carolina. The album was mastered by Kramer.
Fungus Shui LP's are being released on Shimmy Disc and CD's available through Heavy Feather Records on
August 20th 202
