Brian Jonestown Massacre: RELEASE THE SINGLES COLLECTION (1992 – 2011)

THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE
RELEASE THE SINGLES COLLECTION (1992 – 2011) ON AUGUST 30, 2011

The Brian Jonestown Massacre releases the double CD, The Singles Collection (1992-2011) through a Records/Redeye Distribution on August 30, 2011. Remastered from the vinyl originals this collection features 14 tracks that have not been available on CD before, these versions are completely different from any version that found itself on a full-length album. The package comes with a 24-page booklet featuring the front and backs of the entire original cover art.
The Singles Collection (1992-2011) features tracks only previously available on 7 inch singles including “Convertible,” “Their Majesties 2nd Request (Enrique's Dream)” and also the most recent 2011 vinyl single release “Illuminomi” and “There’s A War Going On. The collection also features “Thoughts of You” and “Never Ever” recorded in 1993 from the band’s alter ego, Acid.
Founded in 1992, singer/guitarist, Anton Newcombe was heavily influenced by The Rolling Stones' psychedelic phase – the band name comes from Stones guitarist, Brian Jones, combined with a reference to cult leader Jim Jones. During 2000s, Newcombe expanded into aesthetic dimensions of the 1990s UK Shoegazing genre and incorporating influences from world music, especially Middle Eastern and Brazilian music.
The Brian Jonestown Massacre has been somewhat of a musical commune for many respected musicians over the years and influenced other great bands ever since. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Foxygen, The Silver Rockets, The Black Angels, The Raveonettes, The Dilettantes (to name a few) are all part of this musical family tree.
The Brian Jonestown continues a prolific relevance into the new decade. Tapping into the band’s atmospheric sentiment, Martin Scorsese chose “Straight Up and Down” from Take It From the Man for his HBO’s hit series, Boardwalk Empires opening theme song debuting in 2010. Brian Jonestown Massacre is currently recording a new album in Germany where Anton Newcombe lives, which will be released in 2012.
