Brian Jonestown Massacre

Last evening I watched the documentary "Dig!" that I'd tivo-ed this week. Unfortunately it decided to cut out all except the first hour of program, but I got the general idea anyway. Here's the general idea: Brian Jonestown Massacre is/was an amazing band fronted by one severely not alright guy named Anton Newcombe. This could definitely have been the p.o.v. of the director/documentarian, but that's what it seemed like to me.
The band started in San Francisco in 1990. The band has seemed to change their members more than their socks, but the main players are Anton Newcombe, Matt Hollywood, Dean Taylor, Mara Regal, Dawn Thomas, Brian Glaze, and Joel Gion. Finally signed in 1997 to TVT Records, this partnership quickly ended due to the band's unconventionality.
They've apparently sustained within the group and most recently put out an EP in 2005. Being that their music is quite spectacular, even though their band's lifestyle is a bit on the eccentric side, I'd recommend picking up a copy of one of their releases.
