Brian Jonestown Massacre release 'Who Killed Sgt. Pepper?'

Recorded in early & late 2009 between Iceland & Berlin with an US tour in between the Brian Jonestown Massacre move forward with this new full length album, "Who Killed Sgt. Pepper?".

Working with musicians of the likes of Will Carruthers (ex Spacemen 3 & Spiritualized), Unnur Andrea Einarsdottir (who recorded vocals on the last BJM album) & Felix from the Russian band Amazing Electronic Talking Cave & other musicians from France, Germany, & Iceland, this is the band's most multi cultured release to date, while obviously keeping the band's trademark style throughout this album. 13 tracks ranging from the ambient bhangra beats, rock, shoegaze, to gypsy influences of Eastern Europe music & then back again to the subliminal all twinged with the psychedelia of the band. This is the new Brian Jonestown Massacre Album "Who Killed Sgt Pepper?"

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 psychedelic collective, 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. Like many prolific and artistic "madmen" before his and our time, dare we sum all of the above and categorize Newcombe as a one of the musical geniuses of our time?

Brian Jonestown Massacre will go on an extensive world tour in 2010. Dates tbc.
