Most people’s knowledge of San Francisco psych-rock band
Brian Jonestown Massacre
goes no further than its much-publicized feud against fellow West Coast
band The Dandy Warhols. It’d be hard to blame the public for being so
hung up on that, though, when their ongoing tension was the subject of
2004’s dramatic documentary
Dig!—which, no matter your
allegiance, only makes both bands look alternately petty and petulant.
Still, that was nearly a decade ago. Since then, frontman Anton Newcombe
has been consistently pumping out the same dreamy, pastiche-happy songs
that have been well worth a listen since 1993. BJM’s latest,
Aufheben, is scheduled for a May 1 release.
Newcombe and company will return to
Turner Hall August 17 for what will likely be another
epic-length show. General admission tickets are $18, and
go on sale Friday, April 13 at noon. Listen to a song off of
Aufheben, “I Wanna Hold Your Other Hand,”
here or below.
