The brainchild of musical genius (or arrogant mad-man, depending on your perspective) Anton Newcombe, the Brian Jonestown Massacre are the most prominent of modern sixties revivalists. They are perhaps best known to the wider world through their appearance in the rockumentary 'DIG!' in 2004, which also featured fellow psychedelic rockers The Dandy Warhols; but are known to music fans for their volatile and erratic live performances. Despite seeing through over 30 members and various break-ups, the Brian Jonestown Massacre continue to tour excessively and are planning to release their 12th studio album in early 2008 via Anton's own 'a records' label. A rough mix of this album was made available for free download on their website in September 2007.
