The Brian Jonestown Massacre - When by scootaway

Could you forget the awful things I've done? Could you forget the awful things I've done? Well I'm sure I will become your favorite son. If you forgive the awful things I've done. Sweet Jesus could you wash my sadness away? Sweet Jesus could you take this pain away? If the devil offers know that i will say. "Sweet Jesus blood it washed my sins away." Make room in your masion in the sky Open up your big house in the sky But don't ask me what I've done cause I will lie. Just make me in your masion in the sky Make room in your masion in the sky

The Brian Jonestown Massacre (BJM) is a neo-psychedelic rock band, led by Anton Newcombe. The group was founded by Newcombe, Matt Hollywood, Ricky Rene Maymi, Patrick Straczek and Travis Threlkel in the early 1990s in San Francisco, California. The current line-up consists of Anton Newcombe, Matt Hollywood, Frankie "Teardrop" Emerson, Ricky Maymi, Collin Hegna, Dan Allaire, Rob Campanella, Will Carruthers and Joel Gion.The band have recorded albums that could fit into a variety of musical genres across their history. 1995's Methodrone approximates the UK shoegazing sound of the time, a sound they would return to with the band's 2009 album, My Bloody Underground.

Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request from 1996 reflects a pastiche of '60s psychedelia that continues to characterize the BJM sound

to the pres

ent day. Newcombe defines the term 'psychedelic' as "mind-expanding," and BJM's output is generally referred to as such because of the revivalist nature of the music. Elements of Middle Eastern and Brazilian music are also apparent along w

ith influences by 1960s artists such as The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, Donovan, The Byrds and Bob Dylan. The song "Jesus" is reminiscent of Spacemen 3's The Perfect Prescription. The album's title is an homage to Their

Satanic Majesties Request by The Rolling Stones.

Thank God for Mental Illness displays a country and rhythm and blues oeuvre with voice and acoustic guitar dominating the overall sound. This is a format that Newcombe occasionally resorts to when presenting live material during times of transition in the band. A further country/folk approach was applied to the Bringing It All Back Home - Again, the title itself an homage to Bob Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home

.

Electronic music crept into 2003's And This Is Our Music, evidencing more contemporary influences as well as name-checking the identically-titled albums This Is Our Music, each by the artists Galaxie 500 and Ornette Coleman. In 2005 the band released the EP We Are The Radio on Newcombe's label The Committee to Keep Music Evil, which featured a close collaboration with indie singer-songwriter Sara Beth Tuceck.

My Bloody Underground was released on Cargo Reco

rds in 2008, and demos were available since September 2007 from the band's website. The title has been interpreted to be a name-check to the band

s My Bloody Valentine, and The Velvet Underground as well as referencing BJM's endless procession of bandmates and the "scene" they collectively created. Newcombe has down-played such interpretations in an interview, however. Mu

sic videos of the songs on the album have also been released, including a music video compilation DVD entitled 'Book of Days'.

One was released in November 2009. Recorded in Iceland and Berlin, The Brian Jonestown Massacre move forward with this EP, as an anno

uncement of their forthcoming full length album “Who Killed Sergeant Pepper ?”.

Who Killed Sgt. Pepper was recorded in early and late 2009 in Iceland and Berlin. Set for release in February 2010. This album features musicans of the likes of Unnur Andrea Einarsdottir (who recorded vocals on the last BJM album) and Felix from the Russian band “Amazing Electronic Talking Cave” as well as other musicians from France, Germany and Iceland. Will Cruthers and Matt Hollywood also return to the line-up on this album.

They have also features in The Simp

sons. Here is the photo:
