Eagle eyed observers will notice Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre drifting down the stairs, mutton chop sideburns and slightly pissy demeanour. This guy it has to be said is a musical genius and anyone remotely interested in checking out the mesmerically addictive vibes of The Brian Jonestown Massacre are strongly, nay urgently implored to locate any of their albums - they're all brilliant but perhaps "Take It From The Man" is as good a place to start as any.
Also worth checking out is Ondi Timoner's film "Dig" which documents the utterly dysfunctional progress of these guys including the memorable night when the band had an onstage punch up (not an infrequent occurrence with the BJM) and blew a showcase with various suits from big deal record labels in attendance and a million dollar contract on the table.
Love em...
Here's a clip of them performing "Going to Hell", which could well be their theme tune.
Great band!, Great page!
