The Brian Jonestown Massacre, best-known of course for that documentary film, are touring the country around their ATP appearance. If you go, wear a hard-hat.

May
14 Birmingham Bar Academy
15 Dublin Vicar Street
16 Belfast Mandela Hall
18 Liverpool Barfly
19 All Tomorrow's Parties Camber Sands
21 Nottingham Rescue Rooms
23 Glasgow ABC2
24 Leeds Cockpit
25 Sheffield Leadmill
26 Manchester Academy 3
28 Stoke on Trent Sugarmill
29 Oxford Zodiac
30 London Kings College

The band also play London's Koko on June 28th, by which time frontman Anton Newcombe will no doubt be on his fifth bassist of the tour. Maybe.

apparently they played to some rednecks for 10 hours...true?

i thought they were best known for being BRMC's bassist last band or did the film come after...

i wonder

how many people will go just to heckle Anton and see what he does.

you might need more than a hard hat..

BJM Psych Comp

I just bought a brilliant compilation featuring The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Its on a new British Label - check out www.northernstarrecords.co.uk

It also features many other great bands including The High Dials, The Lovetones, Bavarian Druglords, The Electric Mainline, Pioneer 4, Say Jansfield, The Bleeding Hearts, Spacegarden, Electric Prunes, Telescopes, Silver Apples, God Is An Astronaut and many more.

Highly recommended!!!

Last time I checked...

...they were giving away lots of their albums as free downloads on their website. He came across as an idiot in Dig! but some of the music is pretty good...

Ironically

the DVD I bought off eBay arrived today, which means I'll be able to tell you by about 2014 at current recently bought DVD viewing rates.

Dig!

Yeah the film is well funny... its like a cross between Jerry Springer and Spinal Tap.. aside from that there's some seriously great music. I've just found out that BJM are also on a comp with some other psych bands on Northern Star Records. I've just ordered a copy from their website. Can't wait to hear that...

DiG was slanted...

Well, DiG was slanted in a particular way for a particular reason. ;-)

The main point UK peeps miss about BJM is that EVERYONE who plays w/ Anton comes out of it a MUCH better musician and goes on to form a really cool band. BMRC, the Lilys, the Black Angels (whose new CD Passover is THE buzz album in the USA right now), they're all great bands and we owe it all to Anton, who has incredible talent for picking out the right people.

I'd definitely recommend attending any gig near you.

And yes that Northern Star comp is great!
