It’s rather
rare that artists hitting my musical preferences turn up around here. That´s
why I became so excited when I discovered
that one of my all time favorites, Brian Jonestown Massacre, were announced to turn up for a gig in a Club
called Voxhall in the nearest city, Aarhus, on 22nd June. This will be a unique
opportunity to experience this peculiar band, which has been around since they
set up in San Francisco in the early nineties. Although there has been a big
shift concerning the group-members, Anton Newcombe is still the dynamo of the
current line-up.

This is the finest, dignified rock also referring to a
spectrum of different musical directions such as shoegaze, garage rock, psychedelic
rock and even featuring some late 60s rock-influences like the Velvet
Underground. Like most other bands,
their live-sound is said to be considerably more massive than their recordings – sometimes as much as 4-5 guitarist
on stage. Well – I’ll judge for myself and until they turn up I’m not only going
to enjoy their impressive back-catalogue but also their upcoming 13th album-release, “Aufheben” scheduled for the 1st May. Album review coming up here soon.
