Just Like Kicking Jesus (mini-album)
12 Tonar /‘a’ Records
Release Date: July 28th
This mini album of 5 songs (4 never released before) runs over 27 minutes and was recorded in Reykjavik . The first track of this release features the vocals of Icelandic artist & film maker Unnur Andrea Einarsdottir.
The Brian Jonestown Massacre has been somewhat of a musical commune for many respected musicians over the years, a band from the 1990’s that has spurned other great bands ever since. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Warlocks, The Silver Rockets, The Black Angels, The Ravenettes, The Dilettantes (to name a few) are all part of this musical family tree. Indeed, this is a band that has witnessed many incarnations since its inception in San Francisco in 1995.
Two dozen band members later and numerous “ups and downs” (some have been famously sensationalized in the media), the one thing that has always remained consistent for this psychedeliccollective is front man Mr. Anton Alfred Newcombe. A man and artist many are eager to dismiss as obnoxious and unworthy of the attention he receives. Others however, deem him simply as vulnerable in this world he roams and hugely misunderstood whilst doing so.
