Buzz Osborne & JD Pinkus Launch New Supergroup Gatta Morta With Surprise EP Burn Witch Burn
It's always cool when underground rock lifers join forces. Between the two of them, Buzz Osborne and Jeff Pinkus have been making bugged-out noise rock for roughly ten thousand years. Osborne has been leading the Melvins since 1983. Bassist Jeff Pinkus joined the Butthole Surfers in 1985. Now, the two of them have united to form a new band called Gatta Morta, and their first EP is already out.…
Underground legends Buzz Osborne and Jeff Pinkus have joined forces to create a new supergroup called Gatta Morta. This exclusive EP, titled Burn Witch Burn, is the group's debut release. The band features Osborne on bass, Pinkus on drums, Big Business/High On Fire drummer Coady Willis, and Clinton Jacob of the Chicago duo Mr. Phylzzz.
Osborne revealed that the idea for Gatta Morta came to him while touring last fall, and he quickly assembled this unique ensemble. The EP's first single, "Black Hall," is a powerful riff that spans four decades of heavy/weird rock music. The full EP can be purchased on the noise-rock label Amphentamine Reptile.
