艺人介绍

对于经常有成员变动的这支乐队而言,Anton Newcombe永远是他们的主心骨,而向来在实验、迷幻、自赏这类小众音乐类型里摸爬滚打的The Brian Jonestown Massacre,直到如今也依旧在以谨慎低调的姿态行走于独立音乐界,随着英剧《Skins》第一季当中使用上了2003年乐队一张专辑当中的歌曲作原声之后,他们才被越来越多的人认识并熟悉。《Who Killed Sgt. Pepper? 》在音乐中依旧到处灌满了乐队擅长的那种躁动感觉,实验性质浓郁的配乐和自赏气息十足的人声将整张专辑引至一处又一处高峰,崩裂的鼓击配合脉搏的跳动,可以让你再次体验那种属于青春期的躁动,含糊的唱词和表述不清的情绪亦表示着青春期的迷惘与困惑,总之,The Brian Jonestown Massacre的到来总是能让人体味到许久未体验的不安,而这种不安,却能让人更积极地面对未知、更坦荡地面对忐忑。

Named in tribute to the legendary Rolling Stones guitarist and his influence in introducing Eastern culture and music into the world of Western rock and roll, the Brian Jonestown Massacre formed in San Francisco, California in 1990. Some 40 different members passed through the groups ranks over the next half of the decade, but throughout their focal point remained singer/guitarist Anton Newcombe, who along with bassist Matt Hollywood, guitarist Dean Taylor, organist Mara Regal, accordionist Dawn Thomas, drummer Brian Glaze and Spokesman for the Revolution Joel Gion recorded the Massacres 1995 shoegazer-influenced debut LP Methodrone. A collection of early recordings, Spacegirl and Other Favorites, followed on the bands own Tangible label in early 1996, and was the first of four Brian Jonestown Massacre LPs to appear that year; next up was the brilliant Their Satanic Majesties Second Request, a full-blown homage to the Stones glorious psychedelic-era excesses. Recorded live in the studio, the grittier Take It From the Man! found the band exploring even broader territory; finally, the year ended with the release of Thank God for Mental Illness, a showcase for strong country and blues leanings. In 1997, the BJM — now consisting of Newcombe, Hollywood, Gion, Taylor, guitarists Jeff Davies and Peter Hayes, and drummer Brad Artley — resurfaced with Give It Back! Upon signing to TVT, they released Strung Out in Heaven the following year, but the band and Newcombes eccentricities kept them from staying on the label. After a few scattered EPs, they resurfaced in 2001 with Bravery Repetition and Noise, distributed by Bomp. And This Is Our Music followed in 2003. Despite a continued lack of major distribution, the Brian Jonestown Massacre earned the largest profile of its career in 2004, when it became the unlikely focus of an award-winning ary, DIG!, which charted the trials of Newcombe and those of his rival, Courtney Taylor, leader of the Dandy Warhols. We Are the Radio: The Mini Album followed in August 2005.
