Brian Jonestown Massacre

[Jrd]

Announced a July UK tour and have a TBA for Sunday 29th in the UK.

Could only be Glastonbury right? Seen some great videos of them from '08

Its been mentioned in another thread but fingers crossed. I know they can be hit or miss live but they're brilliant when they're on form.

[Jrd]

I must have missed that mention. Yeah I've heard a lot about them after just getting into them over the past year. Would be great to see and would imagine they would suit the sunday very well

[Mr.Tease]

I could never take them seriously after watching that Dandy Worhol's documentary thing a few years ago, 'Dig!'- that main singer from Brian Jonestown Massacre is unintentionally hilarious throughout!

Dig! is brilliant but it's edited to make Anton look like an idiot.

He is no longer drinking or taking drugs so the BJM are sounding better than ever IMO. Manchester 2012 was one of best gigs I have been to, Having Matt Hollywood back in the band really adds that extra dimension, he wrote some cracking tunes.

[mark_87]

Oops, missed this thread!

Yeah great having Hollywood back. I met him at Titp 2012 and he's a really nice guy, chatted for ages although was quite pissed so what about is unfortunately a tad hazy... He kept nicking my cigarettes though!

[When Jokers Attack]

New album here if anyone is interested.

[Wooderson]

Other than the new album, which I'll listen to later. Any recommendations. I know nothing of their stuff, but like BRMC and Black Angels and from reading these boards they seem to have a fairly big crossover of fans.

[Perks]

Ah this has pleased me, one of the best bands I have seen live, rocked my head man. would be a great addition for me.

[Field Commander Jefferson]

Weird booking putting them on the pyramid on 2008 as they played to what felt like about 1000 people.

Hopefully get dead skeletons on the bill as they are the genuine deal as far as this music is concerned

Theyve a vast and meandering discog.

"Take it from the man!" and "Their Satanic Majesties 2nd Request" are my faves of theirs.

The double disc "Tepid Peppermint" compiliation is Newcombe-approved and is easily the best place to start. Put on "Anenome". Loud.

[Brave Sir Robin]

i've always meant to get into BJM but because they have such a huge back catalogue i've never known where to start. will give it a proper go now that they seem likely for Glastonbury

[WS_Jack_III]

Their stuff from 96 is where to start, though I must admit I haven't heard much else.

[Gazsimmo1980]

Wisdom is one of my favourite songs ever.

[tevaburger]

while BJM seem spot on for the 29th, even better hope for me is that there might be a chance that one of my old-time faves the Dandy Warhols may finally be returning after 12 years absence. The Dandys have a croation festie on the 24th of June and then one in Italy in mid july, which leads one to think there's surely a few weeks of dates in-between. was quite enjoying their 2002 set on the pryamid when some idiot was sound-testing microphones and got mixed into the Dandy's sound which sort of threw off Courtney Taylor-Taylor a bit...he came off a bit of an arse to the audience, but he had every right to be ticked off. I think they then went right into 'hard on for jesus', finshed off, and then CTT came back out solo for a quick 'Everyday is a Holiday'

would be nice to have both bands at Glasto. back to back up at The Park would be nice...or with 2 and 3 am sets at the Hellfire stage.

must say that BJM were disaster when i saw them once. saw Matt Hollywood's band The Out Crowd support the Dandys last decade and he was good. if you're into the dandys, their 13 Tales live album is coming out this month.

[When Jokers Attack]

Dandys and BJM joint headliners for Williams Green on the Sunday please.

[Wooderson]

When I most recently saw them play Matt H was back in the band. They sounded ace.

[WS_Jack_III]

Dandy's have some great songs but haven't had a decent reviewed album for years!

Still that would be great if they were both on.

[Field Commander Jefferson]

Backing the call to get the Warhols involved, fingers crossed. That live version of godless they've just released is fantastic

Please don't put them on the pyramid in the day like in 2008

   @Eadanraiden how do you know?we may be going to legoland on that day.

[Field Commander Jefferson]

See the Dandy's are also playing in Ireland on friday 27th june... surely they'll be making the trip across the waters for the sat or sunday? Would be great on the park stage.

[tevaburger]

looks like Saturday for the Dandys at Glasto, the second of 5 dates on the trot in Ire/Uk, but still very likely.

inconceivable they'd skip Glasto after seemingly arriving just in time for it. Courtney Taylor Taylor is on the extra bits of J.Temple's Glasto movie saying Glasto is still the 'festival of festivals' the BJJ playing on the Sunday, etc... they're there surely.
