The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Doors 8:30pm // Show 9:00pm

Psychedelic rock band The Brian Jonestown Massacre will return to Montana this Fall 2023, performing at The ELM in Bozeman on October 2nd and the Top Hat in Missoula on October 3rd.

Hailing from San Francisco, The Brian Jonestown Massacre has been a pivotal force in the underground music scene for over three decades. Known for their mesmerizing blend of psychedelic rock, shoegaze, and folk, their music is a kaleidoscope of rich melodies, hypnotic rhythms, and introspective lyrics.

Formed by notorious front man Anton Newcombe, The Brian Jonestown Massacre has produced a rich catalog of music, releasing 21 albums since they formed in 1990. Their sound and countercultural essence has been largely influenced by 60s psychedelia, their name even a partial nod to the late Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones.

The 10th track, “Anemone,” off their 1996 record Their Satanic Majesties’ Second Request, is an excellent representation of the band’s sound. It features heavy psychedelic influences, using over 40 instruments to create a vivid palette of sonic textures.
