About The Hickoids
Long running cow-punk band the Hickoids disbanded after many years of hard touring in 1991 to be reformed by founder Jeff Smith and longtime guitarist
Davy Jones ’76 in 2007-2008. Since then, the band has released two new full length albums and played well over 200 shows in 13 U.S. states and eight Western European countries, as well as being voted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame in 2014. Jones succumbed to lung cancer in November 2015 and was posthumously voted into
the AMHOF in 2016. Smith and the other members are working on new material as well completing a batch of last tracks recorded with Jones for release later this year. Along the way the Hickoids have shared the stage with everyone from the Dicks, Black Flag, The Dwarves and Butthole Surfers to The Flaming Lips,
Soul Asylum and Nine Inch Nails to Lucinda Williams, Terry Allen, Roky Erickson and The Flamin’ Groovies — getting run out of more venues in their bad boy days than most bands ever even play.
