Up until a couple of weeks ago I’d never even heard of these guys. Until a few days ago I knew next to nothing about them. To this day I couldn’t tell you their names, the titles of their albums or songs – but that really is pretty irrelevant. Last night at the Civic in Christchurch, they were excellent.

Brian Jonestown Massacre

I don’t know if they were having a good day at the office, or a slightly off colour one. Still, being a BJM novice – I was impressed. Probably not my general cup of Earl Grey, but they were tight, professional and created an interesting wall of sound. Considering there were seven of them on stage at once – I guess that’s to be expected.

Anyway, if you like bands that have got that ‘certain something’ and they happen to be playing at a town near you – check them out.
