The Brian Jonestown Massacre are probably best known for their
leader Anton Newcombe s incendiary persona, as captured in the
controversial 2004 rockumentary Dig! - which won the Grand Jury
Prize at Sundance - but what isn t known is the truth behind the
making of the film, or the true story of the band since their
formation in early 1990s San Francisco. Until now. Writer, actor,
and musician Jesse Valencia spent ten years uncovering the
mysteries of the band and the film, during which time he has
traveled from San Francisco to Denver, Portland to Tucson, and
beyond, gathering pieces of the band s history and putting them
together, clue by clue, until he found it. Presented as a personal
narrative and compiled from hundreds of sources and interviews with
key members of The Brian Jonestown Massacre - including Joel Gion,
Rick Maymi, Frankie Emerson, Jeff Davies, Dean Taylor, Miranda Lee
Richards, and Peter Hayes - as well as members of The Dandy
Warhols, Dig! director Ondi Timoner, and countless other figures
from both the film and from the band s greater history, Keep Music
Evil is the definitive work on the band and their enigmatic leader.
Keep Music Evil also tells the stories of the creation of every
album the band have released during their three-decade career,
offering insight in Anton and his collaborators working methods,
and provides an in-depth look at the making of Dig!, giving deeper
context to the events as portrayed, correcting misinformation, and
deconstructing the film as a whole. It also features rare, candid,
and never-before-seen photographs of the band from throughout their
career.
