    Originally released on vinyl in 1997 now reissued on a recordings Anton Newcombe's own record label.

    The Brian Jonestown Massacre is a psychedelic rock band originally from San Francisco,California, led by guitarist/singer Anton Newcombe. Since 1995 The Brian Jonestown Massacre has released numerous albums, first for Bomp! Records, the label which gave them their start,and later for TVT and Tee Pee. BJM has been essential in the development of the modern U.S. garage scene, and many LA and SF musicians got their start playing with Newcombe, including Peter Hayes of The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

    Originally Newcombe was heavily influenced by The Rolling Stones' psychedelic phase - the name comes from Stones guitarist Brian Jones combined with a reference to cult leader Jim Jones, but his work in the 2000s has expanded into aesthetic dimensions approximating the UK Shoegazing genre of the 1990s and incorporating influences from world music, especially Middle Eastern and Brazilian music.

    The Brian Jonestown Massacre 'My Bloody Underground'

    £7.99

    <p>After  spending  time  writing  and  recording  in  Liverpool,  England  and  Reykjavik,  Iceland;  My  Bloody  Underground  will  be  the  thirteenth  fulllength  album  released  by  the  band,  set  for  release  on  <strong>Anton  Newcombe</strong>'s  own  record  label  a  recordings  thirteenth  time's  a  charm  for  a  band  who's  name  a  portmanteau  of  the  original  and  founding  member  of  The  Rolling  Stones'  Brian  Jones  and  the  infamous  mass  cult  suicide  at  Jonestown,  Guyana  in  1978.  <br><br>Fans  and  critics  of  Brian  Jonestown  Massacre  who  have  eagerly  awaited  a  new  album  for  a  little  over  4  years  now  will  not  be  disappointed  with  its  musical  content,  quality  and  controversy  to  follow. The  opening  track  titled  Bring  Me  The  Head  Of  Paul  MCCartney  On  Heather  Mill's  Wooden  Peg  (Dropping  Bombs  On  The  White  House)  begins  and  soars  into  an  echoing  wave  of  tambourines  and  trancelike  acoustics,  that  continues  for  12  more  tracks  and  75.87  minutes,  stirring  visions  of  sunny  Californian  communes  to  New  York  City  bars  on  the  Lower  East  Side.  From  Rishikesh  to  Reykjavik,  the  entire  album  provides  provocative  glimpses  into  Anton  Newcombe's  head,  both  the  darkness  and  the  light,  so  clearly  and  so  beautifully  selfproduced. A  man  and  artist  many  are  eager  to  dismiss  as  obnoxious  and  unworthy  of  the  attention  he  receives.  Others  however,  deem  him  simply  as  vulnerable  in  this  world  he  roams  and  hugely  misunderstood  whilst  doing  so.  Like  many  prolific  and  artistic  madmen  before  his  and  our  time,  dare  we  sum  all  of  the  above  and  categorize  Newcombe  as  a  one  of  the  musical  geniuses  of  our  time? Maybe  it's  too  early  or  controversial  to  say,  but  tracks  from  My  Bloody  Underground  are  certainly  good  indications  whether  such  a  characteristic  is  worthy  of  his  nature.  We  Are  The  Niggers  Of  The  World  (track  4)  is  a  song  Anton  wrote  when  he  was  just  9  years  old,  you  can  decide  for yourself.

    Tracklisting:

    1. Bring Me The Head Of Paul McCartney On Heather Mill's Wooden Peg (Dropping Bombs On The White House)

    Redolent with the spirit of such high priests of effects and delay as Loop, Spaceman 3, and My Bloody Valentine, not to mention a fair dollop of the Jesus and Mary Chain.

    The Brian Jonestown Massacre 'Thank God For Mental Illness'

    £7.99

    Available on 180 grm vinyl.

    At the risk of further labouring a rather obvious point, with Thank God for Mental Illness, their third collection of absolutely stunning music in 1996, the Brian Jonestown Massacre parallels the prolific and effortless brilliance of the Rolling Stones at their fevered late-1960s peak; the sheer scope of their achievements is stunning, rarely are bands quite so productive, or quite so consistently amazing.

    Thank God is the BJM's down-and-dirty country-blues outing, all 12-odd tracks supposedly recorded on a single July day at a cost of just $17.36 .

    Originally Newcombe was heavily influenced by The Rolling Stones' psychedelic phase - the name comes from Stones guitarist Brian Jones combined with a reference to cult leader Jim Jones, but his work in the 2000s has expanded into aesthetic dimensions approximating the UK Shoegazing genre of the 1990s and incorporating influences from world music, especially Middle Eastern and Brazilian music.

    Originally released in 2000 now reissued on a records Anton Newcombe's own record label with new artwork .

    Taking into consideration the last time we heard from the Brian Jonestown Massacre (1999's one-off EP of country-folk ramblings, Bringing It All Back Home Again), longtime fans of the BJM might still be a little taken aback by the songs on this 36-minute EP at first, as this is somewhat of a departure from what BJM shaman and group leader Anton Newcombe has previously written and recorded with a revolving-door membership of sidemen and -women.

    Newcombe opted to exercise a clause in his contract that allows him to release material on his own Bomp!-distributed Committee to Keep Music Evil imprint. That is why the title and artwork (with its colorful pinwheel flowers) goes out of its way to imply that there are "zero" songs from the album Bravery included here.

    The Brian Jonestown Massacre is a psychedelic rock band originally from San Francisco, California, led by guitarist/singer Anton Newcombe. With The Dandy Warhols, The Brian Jonestown Massacre is one of the subjects of the documentary DIG!, winner of the 2004 Grand Jury Prize Documentary at Sundance.

    DIG! is also a part of the Permanent Collection of the NY Museum of Modern Art. Since the release of DIG!, the band has achieved increasing critical acclaim and recognition, and has performed at Cochella and Lollapalooza in 2005 with special mentions from the NY Times and Washington Post.

    The Brian Jonestown Massacre's sophomore album does, as promised, spring forth from the Rolling Stones' long-underrated 1967 masterpiece Their Satanic Majesties Request, copping not only Mick and Keith's leering bad-boy attitude but also their their rock-and-roll-circus spirit.

    Opening with the brilliant "All Around You (Intro)," a tongue-in-cheek guide to the mind-altering journey ahead, the record is a kaleidoscopic, drug-fueled freakout like the Stones' namesake album, Second Request is painted by Eastern drones and psychedelic tangents, each track bubbling with dozens of sound effects including sitars, mellotrons, farfisas, didgeridoos, tablas, congas, and glockenspiels..

    Travelling through the past, darkly, the Massacre arrives on the other side unscathed; their music is too rich to be merely retro, and too knowing to be merely slavish the Stones themselves haven't made a record this strong or entertaining in years.

    Bravery, Repetition and Noise is a dark dreamy album, rich in atmosphere, layered in waves of sound.

    The album's antecedents are clear, inspired by psychedelia as they were by punk's nihilism, pulling both strands into a doom-laden, experimental sound quite distinct from anything that had come before or since.

    The Brian Jonestown Massacre uses this as their touchstone, lovingly re-creating the moods and atmospheres of the past.

    £6.99

    This six-song, half-hour CD/VINYL the band's affecting a more rural, lonesome-sounding tone and a moodier, more deliberate pace; the more traditional feel meshes well with Anton Newcombe's twisting of country-gospel lyrical clichés into rock & roll attitude.

Since 1995 The Brian Jonestown Massacre has released numerous albums, first for Bomp! Records, the label which gave them their start, and later for TVT and Tee Pee.
