THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE

We can say it: over the past 30 years, few bands have contributed to the rock ‘n’ roll mythology with as much brilliance and flair as the Brian Jonestown Massacre. Anton Newcombe, the group’s unpredictable yet brilliant mastermind and heart, has established himself as the last great psychedelic guru, an eternal free spirit defying the conventions of a sanitized industry. And now, your souls are about to be saved: The Brian Jonestown Massacre announces a series of French dates for 2025, with a performance on May 20th at La Cigale, Paris.

Brian Jonestown Massacre’s shoegazing-tinged debut album Methodrone was released in 1995 and since then numerous band members have joined Newcombe on his sonic escapades, but he has remained the sole constant, the creative mastermind at the centre of one of music’s most fascinating bands. There have been a further 20 albums under the Brian Jonestown Massacre moniker since then, each embarking on their own mind-expanding adventure and exploring the outer realms of rock’n’roll; psychedelic rock, country-blues, snarling rock’n’roll, blissed-out noise-pop and more.
