George Jonestown
Massacre has been referred to as "a cross between
Motorhead and Merle Haggard" and has won over fans as opening act for such diverse artists as Shooter Jennings,
David Allan Coe and
Johnny Winter to Antiseen, MC50, 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 acrosse the United States for the last 14 years and have created a unique style by mixing "outlaw" country sounds with rockabilly rhythms in combination with hardcore metal drumbeats, blurring the boundaries of country, metal, and punk. Killingsworth is joined by
David Wade and Dik LeDoux on this tour
