Named after the legendary Rolling Stones guitarist (Brian Jones), thus consecrating his influence in the world of western rock’n’roll, The Brian Jonestown Massacre was born in 1990, more precisely in the San Francisco area. About 40 different members have been part of the band, but the undisputed leader is still the troubled, but very creative, Anton Newcombe.
The band has gone through many phases, but even today, The Brian Jonestown Massacre is an unavoidable reference when it comes to psychedelic rock. A band led by one of the most important standard bearers of this musical genre. Without a doubt, Anton Newcombe is the iconoclast par excellence of “pot” rock.
