Blazing a trail out of Memphis, Tennessee Joecephus and the George Jonestown Massacre (JGJM) are on a roll. At the age of fifteen <a href="spotify:artist:6cDOnFvLECXGacGQt7tXF4" data-name="Joey Killingsworth">Joey Killingsworth</a> aka <a href="spotify:artist:3POboCGGGixKko5J0EEeN1" data-name="Joecephus">Joecephus</a> began his professional music career one night playing drums — backing up his father, Memphis tv legend Bobby “Bo Jack” Killingsworth and Jumpin’ Gene Simmons (known for his novelty hit ‘Haunted House’). In the 90s he began playing around Memphis with the band Grendel Crane and at the turn of the century began playing drums with another rockabilly legend Eddie Bond. In the 2000’s he played guitar for a run of shows with Black Oak Arkansas and has also backed Shooter Jennings, JD Pinkus (Butthole Surfers/Melvins) and 80’s metal legend Thor.
Now, as leader, guitarist and frontman for JGJM, who have been referred to as “sounding like if Black Oak Arkansas grew up listening to Motorhead”, he keeps up a workmanlike pace of touring and recording with the band. The band has made eleven studio releases over the past twenty years and can be heard regularly on Sirius XM Satellite Radio. The charity albums he has co-produced with Dik LeDoux have feature a stunning array of guest artists including Alice Cooper, Keith Morris, Kim Thayil, J. Mascis, Jello Biafra, Neil Fallon (Clutch), King Buzzo (Melvins), Mick Harvey and Warren Ellis (both of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) and dozens of other recognizable names.
As a live act the band has shared the stage with everybody from Mike Watt to The Obsessed.
