Cor de Lux / JD Pinkus Triptych

Description

**Cor de Lux** is a 4-piece band from North Carolina known for their dual-guitar interplay with added garage rock energy, jazz and avant-garde elements. The four of them create what comes natural; a rhythm-anchored, abstract sound that is loaded with angular chords and riffs. In 2025, the band toured as direct support for BRNDA and were direct support for two of Superchunk’s South East dates. In 2023, the band was direct support for part of Pile’s east coast tour. Since 2022, they have been a prominent force in the North Carolina scene, opening for bands such as Sweeping Promises, Archers of Loaf, Omni, Cola, and Blondshell. **JD Pinkus Triptych** - When Kramer's brief tenure as bass guitarist for Butthole Surfers ended in the autumn of 1985, he was replaced by a young kid named Jeff Pinkus. With the exception of one or two brief interruptions over the three decades that followed, Jeff remained with the band until they stopped being an active performing unit. He is now JD PINKUS, a frighteningly psychedelic master of the fungus-shui banjo. He sleeps late, collaborates frequently, tours incessantly, and lives in Asheville, North Carolina.
