About Me

I'm just an old fat fingered bass player pickin' with 3 or 4 or 5 different bands ( depending on the line up ) - I'm playing with "The Brewers", "Joecephus and the George Jonestown Massacere" ( see details below ), "The Terry Carter Band", and "The FlowerLand Allstar Band". About Joecephus &The George Jonestown Massacre --- Blazing a trail out of Memphis, Tennessee, Joecephus and the George Jonestown Massacre are on a roll. Having been referred to as “a cross between Motorhead and Merle Haggard” and having served as opening acts for such diverse artists as Shooter Jennings, David Allan Coe, Charlie Robison, Southern Culture On The Skids, Jim Dickinson, Unknown Hinson, Joe Buck, Scott Biram, The Reverend Horton Heat,H. R. of the legendary Bad Brains and many more. Joecephus and company are ready for full auditory assault in any venue that can take it. Exhibiting a tireless work ethic, the band has played Honky-tonk venues as well as Punk/ Metal clubs throughout the tri-state area. They have created a unique style by mixing “outlaw” country sounds with rockabilly rhythms in combination with hardcore metal drumbeats, blurring the boundaries of country, psychobilly, and punk. Rigorous time spent in the studio and on the road has not prevented the band from finding time to write and record a song for the soundtrack of the upcoming movie, “The Importance of Being Russell”. “Cityfied,” will be used in this film while the song, “Going Back to Memphis” was featured on the compilation CD, “Yells from the Crypt” from Gravewax records.Another movie, "Grim Sweaper" uses their song "Quittin' Time" Featuring members who come together from a prestigious list of some of Memphis’ finest bands, this is just the beginning for a band that will be tearing shit up for a long time to come. Do yourself a favor and experience the electrifying energy of Joecephus and the George Jonestown Massacre when they roll through your town. In a time when very few country/rockabilly artists sing songs about Killing, Smoking Grass, and Drinking we are proud to be one of them"The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. "It is our responsibilities, not ourselves, that we should take seriously." ..

My Interests

We went to a shopping mall And laughed at all the shoppers And security guards trailed us To a record shop We asked for Mojo Nixon They said "He don't work here" We said "If you don't got Mojo Nixon Then your store could use some fixin'"

I'd like to meet:

Hunter s. Thompson, Mohamad Ali ( He came, he saw, and if he didn't entirely conquer - he came as close as anybody we are likely to see in the lifetime of this doomed generation.), Lee Roy King, Stephen Cobert, Mas Oyama ...the spiritual. teacher. literary scholar. mathematician. entrepreneur. mastermind. road builder. artist. poet. mother. father. son. daughter. healer. warrior. lover. guide. get-a-way driver. autistic misfit in artistic expression... the unknown. the answer. the golden road. the righteous ones. the sunset on several different waters. the other side of the moon..., the Beatles."I made the same amount of money each night playing in Austin clubs in 1966 as I did in 2006. But in 1966, one night of work paid my rent." ----John Inmon, guitarist for Townes van Zandt, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely, Delbert McClinton, Marcia Ball, Omar and the Howlers, the Lost Gonzo Band, Bruce Robison, Pat Green, Michael Martin Murphy, Jerry Jeff Walker

Music:

The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Movies:

Glue... very powerful stuff.

Television:

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

Books:

Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them.

Heroes:

A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men. A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom. Being a hero is about the shortest-lived profession on earth.
