Anton Newcombe

Brianjonestown Massacre is one of my favourite bands of all time.
During the 90's their output was unmatched by anyone, well except for guided by voices.
The band has had a revolving door line up with only main songwriter Anton Newcombe remaining with the band.
If you have ever seen the movie Dig! then you know exactly what to expect from BJM and Anton Newcombe. If you haven't seen the film get on that. It's an amazing document of BJM and the "rivalry" with the Dandy Warhols.

Here is the trailer for the movie:


For most of the 00s Anton didn't release too many albums. He came back with their most solid effort in years in 2008 with the release of "My bloody Underground".

Anton has mellowed over the years, but he is still up to his old tricks in interviews. Here are three relatively new ones.

In this clip Anton speaks with a fake Scandinavian accent and talks about his childhood European pen pals:



Here the band is about to play Glastonbury and he goes on to discuss things about Ireland and "Bongo" from U2:


A somewhat more serious interview. Anton talks about recording the new album in Iceland and how he puts up all of his own songs and videos for free on the Internet:


Anton Newcombe is still king in my books.
