The Pinkees were an English power pop band from Basildon, Essex, active in the 1980s. The band members were Paul Egholm (vocals, guitar), Andy Price (vocals, guitar), Max Reinsch (guitar, keyboards), Nevil Kiddier (bass) and Paul Reynolds (drums). Piano and additional vocals, when recording, were supplied by their producer Keith Bonsoir. They released four singles and an album on Creole Records from 1982–1983. Their second single, "Danger Games", reached number 8 on the official UK charts (although it was claimed to have achieved the feat through chart hyping and suspicious sales patterns, and did not appear on some other charts at all) and gained them appearances on BBC TV programmes such as Top of the Pops and Pebble Mill at One. The eponymously titled album was released on vinyl and cassette but it has never been issued in CD format. It stands at number 123 on the list of albums in the Ultimate Power Pop Guide.
