Formed in 1988 while trying to keep warm in the Colorado mountains, Jimmy Pinhead (vocals/guitar), Trelvis (bass), and Otis (drums) got together Pinhead Circus while under the influence the of Descendants, skating, and malt liquor. But it wouldn't be until 1997, after a bundle of shows and compilation tracks, when BYO Records caught the attention and released their first album Detailed Instructions for the Self Involved. Two years later, Pinhead's second album, Everything Else is Just a Far Gone Conclusion, followed. In fall 2000, Fall in Love All Over Again was released. Black Power of Romance was issued in spring 2001. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
