REASONS TO GO 5;:

THE BRIAN JONESTOWN

M ASSAC R E

1 They’re nothing to do with Brian Jones The Brian Jonestown Massacre are nothing to do With Brian Jones. the founder member oi the Rolling Stones found dead in his swimming pool at the age of 27. Except that they're a bit obsessed with his death. which has plenty conspiracy theories around it.

2 And they're nothing to do with the Jonestown Massacre. The Jonestown massacre was a mass cult suicide in Guyana in the 703 where almost a thousand people were found poisoned to death. There are plenty of conspiracy theories about it. The CIA were involved. Allegedly.

3 So who the hell are they? A SOs-influenced psychedelic rock outfit formed in POrtland. Oregon and now based in New York, centred around the idiosyncratic world view of multi-instrumentalist and main songwriter Anton Newcombe. The band have been going tor over a decade. released a dozen albums. and had loads ol members, including also-rans from the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

4 They are very definitely not the Dandy Warhols Newcombe featured heavily in rockumentary DIGI. which showed the divergent careers of his band and the Dandy Warhols, former pals. now arguing like hellcats all the time.

5 They're nuts In the aforementioned film and countless interviews. Newcombe comes across as an unhinged and unstable character, rambling gibberish about all sorts at every opportunity. As a result, live events are always unpredictable. Worth checking out, then. (Doug Johnstone)
