One of the most interesting purveyors of psych rock, ever, The Brian Jonestown Massacre will make their way to Australia in June, 2018.
With a new album, 'Something Else', to be released soon and an exclusive invitation as guests of Vivid Sydney, the band have extended their trip with dates right across the country, including some rare regional shows along the way (Fremantle, Adelaide, Byron Bay, Brisbane, Sydney, Wollongong, Canberra, Castlemaine and Melbourne).
"The Brian Jonestown Massacre are a wildly original and thrilling live band who have built a career out of prioritising art over commercial compromise," explains Vivid Sydney’s Stephen Ferris.
"This maverick approach continues to sustain their relevance to a generation of music lovers making it a no brainer when it came to inviting them to be part of Vivid Sydney."
Lead by prolific outlier Anton Newcombe, The Brian Jonestown Massacre have ploughed their own fertile furrow in the field of neo-psychedelia, yielding an impressive harvest of 17 acclaimed studio albums across 28 years, including the brand new longplayer 'Something Else', which returns to the classic BJM reduction of swirling retro-hued guitars, washed-over droning, hypnotic primal rhythms and Newcombe’s trademark edifying and biting social commentary.
