JD Pinkus of the Butthole Surfers Interview

Posted on May 9, 2022

Pinkus Pic by Buzz O

Penny Royal catches up with bass player cum banjo player, JD Pinkus, best known for his work with the Butthole Surfers and the Melvins. These days Pinkus is popping shrooms in his new Appalachian home, bangin’ on the banjo and spending time with his wife and dog. His latest release, Fungus Shui, is a non-traditional meandering through the many moods of the banjo and is available courtesy of Shimmy Disc records. Tune in for a knee-slapping good time as Penny Royal and JD shoot the sh*t about psychedelics, analog recording, and the war on xmas.
