Default Brian Jonestown Massacre

I haven't heard any tunes from this band, but I'm intrigued. Anyone care to enlighten me? Any good? Did someone out of BRMC used to be in the band? I love BRMC by ra way. Ta.

One of the greatest bands. Aye i think the lad fae brmc played guitar. They are playing glasgow may/june so get your tickets now. They have a fair few cd's but the best of is a good one to start with. Last time i heard, HMV had it in stock. The dvd Dig with brian jonestown vs dandies is really funny.

One of the greatest bands.????

Just saw Dig this weekend. Worth watching for sure. Don't rate Anton very highly though. Maybe if he straightened up for a second and was less paranoid and grew up a little.

That tambo player cracked me up.

I think they're genius I would recommend "Tepid Peppermint Wonderland" which is a compilation. It sounds a bit like carnival of light in places too.

Dig! is a fucking ace film.
I would love to see them live actually - just to see crazy anton!
He seemed very talented - and the music in the film was very ace but i have not listened to anything else by them.

Dig! was only good in the way it highlighted what a bunch of petulent, wanky, ass-clowns The Brian Jonestown Massacre are. Bunch of vegetarians.

Peter Hayes from BRMC was the one in BJTM. They are a great band. Most of the albums are pretty difficult to get here and if you find them will probably cost you a fortune. Amazon sell most of them on import, usually between 5 and 10 quid per CD.
As the other folk up there said, the compilation 'Tepid Peppermint Wonderland' is probably the best place to test the water to see if you like them. There isn't much to separate the individual albums quality wise, they are all full of genius moments along with some songs that sound like they are still in the demo stages, but if you've seen Dig! then you will appreciate that most of their recordings are done on the hoof when they blagged some cash together and so rehearsal time wasn't the biggest priority! Personally I love the looseness of their music.
I thought The Dandy Warhols came across worse in Dig! personally but I still like 'em too.
