Hey, whatchoo smokin'? Got enough for me?" asks Honky in "Love to Smoke Your Weed," the opening salvo on its new platter. Fact is, we should be asking them this question. The trio, fronted by erstwhile Butthole Surfer J.D. Pinkus, is like ZZ Top without the cool exterior, unable to restrain themselves from jackhammering every "tush" in sight. This manic, turgid energy is Honky's essence, the ethanol-and-Gold Bond Medicated Powder fuel behind some of the sickest power-trio jams this side of anywhere. Guitarist Bobby Landgraf is working overtime on his Les Paul as he cranks out sick, speedy and soulful licks and smoldering slide work over Pinkus and drummer Kenny Wagner's likewise wild (but tight, natch) rhythmic playground. How anyone can maintain such intensity and musicality is beyond comprehension--and when it's combined with Pinkus' demented, perverted party poetry it reaches realms that can only be reached by getting a bit of what they're smokin'.

Nope, they are still doing there thing in Tejas. I don't think they are touring like they used to. They played at the Small Stone Day Party at SXSW last March and ripped it up.

That, I am not sure of... I do know that they have a whole bunch of new songs, and have for a few years now.

Easier said then done... Mr. Pinkus has a mind of his own.

Hahahaha. Well..how can I argue with that. It's too bad, as I'm sure there's still a great audience for new stuff from them.
