About JD Pinkus Triptych
JD Pinkus, born Jeff Pinkus, joined the Butthole Surfers in the mid-1980s and played bass on records including 'Locust Abortion Technician' and 'Hairway to Steven'. Outside that band he has played in the Texas boogie-rock group Honky and has worked with the Melvins, appearing on the 2018 album 'Pinkus Abortion Technician'.
Under his own name and as JD Pinkus Triptych, he plays banjo through the same kind of noise and distortion his bass carried in the Butthole Surfers, using the instrument for droning, heavily processed songs that owe more to Texas psych and sludge than to bluegrass.
