The Brian Jonestown Massacre is an American rock band founded and led by Anton Newcombe. Formed in San Francisco in 1990, the group has featured a continually changing lineup throughout its existence. The band’s early work was influenced by shoegaze and dream pop, particularly on their first two albums. With their third album, Take It from the Man!, they shifted toward a sound rooted in 1960s psychedelic rock and garage rock. To date, the collective has released 20 studio albums, six compilation albums, five live albums, 14 EPs, 24 singles, and two various‑artist compilations. The Brian Jonestown Massacre has attracted media attention for its turbulent internal dynamics and for Newcombe’s unpredictable behavior. Their notoriety increased further with the release of the **2004 documentary Dig!. Anton Newcombe founded the collective in San Francisco between 1990 and 1993. Their earliest material consisted of recordings compiled from sessions and demo tapes, including the release Pol Pot’s Pleasure Penthouse, which later circulated widely as a bootleg. In 1993, the band recorded Spacegirl and Other Favorites, assembled from what Newcombe described as his “studio trash.” The album includes the track “Hide and Seek,” released as a single in 1994. The band’s official debut album, Methodrone, appeared in 1995, expanding on the musical ideas first explored on Spacegirl.
