The Brian Jonestown Massacre — My Bloody Underground

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) April 15, 2008 11:11 am
This won't be much of a surprise to anyone, but Brian Jonestown Massacre leader Anton Newcombe has finally gone off the deep end. That the once prolific musician has been heard little of since 2005's tepid We Are The Radio EP was an early warning sign, but My Bloody Underground feels like a man in full-on creative crisis. BJM's greatest...

Brian Jonestown Massacre Or Jonesing For Trouble

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) June 3, 2010 12:09 pm
The Brian Jonestown Massacre are infamous for their on-stage antics. They've been known to use each others' faces as percussion instruments and their fists serving as the drumsticks. So, it was to the surprise and delight of a thousand strong at Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre when the band not only kept their brawling tendencies in check,...

Brian Jonestown Massacre — Who Killed Sgt. Pepper?

This is one part shoegaze, one part post-punk and one part Mogwai. That equation should make it awesome, but unfortunately the idea is better than the result and the end product 100 per cent blows.

Brian Jonestown Massacre — "Let's Go Fucking Mental" (With Lego)

in
By CHARTattack Staff January 27, 2010 6:01 pm
It's obvious the Tom Joe Twins heard the words "Lego fucking mental" when listening to the Brian Jonestown Massacre's "Let's Go Fucking Mental" because they've made a video for the track that involves Lego people going nuts and basically killing each other in insane ways. It's pretty hilarious. "Let's Go Fucking Mental...

Courtney Love isn't the only artist planning to wish her fans a happy new year by releasing an album Jan. 1. The Brian Jonestown Massacre will release their 10th studio album, Who Killed Sgt. Pepper?, the same day. The 13-track follow-up to 2008's My Bloody Underground will be preceded by a four-track EP dubbed One, which is out on Monday (Nov....

Pumping: The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Strung Out In Heaven

For better or worse, the record that broke BJM is almost 11 years old. Now that we're a few years removed from Dig! fever and now that some of Anton's misadventures since then have been forgotten, relistening to this album is actually pretty sweet. Instead of making art-rock in Iceland, Anton should relisten to this and think about the good times.

Brian Jonestown Massacre Bring Their Shennanigans To Toronto

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) November 1, 2004 4:00 pm
The Brian Jonestown Massacre's relationship with Toronto has always microcosmically represented the band's fractured career as a whole. There was the recent Silver Dollar show where the band played shambolically and wonderfully long into the night. There was the brutal show at the Tequila Lounge where singer/leader Anton Newcombe lost his voice...

Brian Jonestown Massacre Play Renegade Show At Wilderbeat Festival

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) August 20, 2003 4:00 pm
Amidst the blackout chaos, low attendance and some devious local politicking working against them, organizers of the Wilderbeat mod/garage/psych festival definitely learned about bad luck the hard way. The Brit-pop kids of Toronto's Blow Up scene are generally too precious by half, so asking them to rough it in the wilderness for three days...

With the Wilderbeat Festival in Port Burwell, Ontario fast approaching (August 15-17), Quadrophenia-friendly types are shining up their scooters and prepping for the three day camp/rock/dance extravaganza. Anglophile DJs are being carted in from across the continent and bands like The Sights, The Gruesomes and The High Dials are set to appear,...

Brian Jonestown Massacre To Do Canadian Dates

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) December 18, 2001 4:30 pm
Let's start off by recapping why the Brian Jonestown Massacre rule: They've collaborated with Charles Manson on the murder ballad "Arkansas Revisited." They've mentored The Dandy Warhols and then wrote a song about how lame Courtney Taylor is. They've gone through more members than a hard-working porn star. Frontman Anton...

Brian Jonestown Massacre - Zero

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) November 21, 2000 10:12 am
Zero represents the first release from the once-prolific Brian Jonestown Massacre since they put out the shambolically glorious Bring It All Back Home Again EP over a year ago and ringleader Anton Newcombe apparently went underground for a physiological "cleaning out" of sorts. While Zero lacks an epic hit jam like their fan-fave "...
