The iconic musical phenomenon The Brian Jonestown Massacre, renowned for their unparalleled sound and visionary artistry, is set to embark on an electrifying tour across North America this fall. After astounding success on their UK and Europe tour, the band is ready to treat their dedicated fans in the US, Canada and Mexico to an unforgettable live experience, spanning 39 epic shows. The tour is in celebration of their critically acclaimed 20th studio album, Your Future Is Your Past, which made its mark on the music scene with its release on February 2, 2023, under Anton Newcombe’s own label A Recordings.
For the past three decades, the Brian Jonestown Massacre has fearlessly charted new musical territories, shaping a genre-bending blend that draws from a kaleidoscope of “60s swagger, neo psychedelic overload to skronking metallic noise, motoric krautrock stomping, and shoegaze.”-Shindig Mag.
Led by the indomitable frontman, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, engineer, studio owner father and force of nature Anton Newcombe, the band’s live performances have been nothing short of transcendent, captivating audiences with mesmerizing psychedelic jams and technical brilliance. Critics and fans alike have praised their innovative sound, hailing them as an essential pillar of the alternative music scene.
Their latest album, Your Future Is Your Past, serves as a profound exploration covering topics such as war and crisis, delivered with unparalleled creative finesse. It serves as a testament to Anton’s continued relevance and creativity, tackling weighty themes with poetic nuance and musical ingenuity. From searing anthems that rally against injustice to introspective ballads that navigate the depths of the human experience, the album weaves a captivating tapestry of sound and storytelling. As Anton notes, many of the songs reference inspiration from his son Wolfgang and are in fact his ideas.
Audiences can expect to hear newer songs from this masterpiece, plus their 2022 majestic album Fire Doesn’t Grow On Trees, along with classics that showcase the band’s signature mix of genres. From the dreamy shoegaze melodies to the meandering grooves that drift into sonic hypnosis, the album exemplifies Brian Jonestown Massacre’s musical evolution and trailblazing spirit.
The highly anticipated North American tour will take the band across the East, West, South, and Midwest coasts, featuring performances at iconic festivals LA’s Desert Daze and Mexico City’s Hipnosis. With only seven days off during the extensive 39-date run, the Brian Jonestown Massacre is ready to deliver an immersive and transformative live experience to their ever-growing and fiercely devoted fanbase.
