Havn't seen the Slicks yet, but caught the Massacre for a short set at SXSW and they blew my mind. Five seconds into every song they played the guy I was there with and I would just start laughing because we couldn't believe how great those first five seconds were. The leads were amazing.<< Glad to see someone appreciates BJM. I still think they're the best band in years, and I'm tired of people saying I've had a lapse of taste. Show me one other band who can do what these guys can! Anyway they're woodshedding in L.A. currently and playing around town, but there probably won't be a national tour until after the next album is done--I'd guess August. Since you are in Tucson, you might want to visit L.A. before heading back east. I'm sure they'd be glad to welcome a fan--they have a very large house.

Thanks. > > Mike The Brian Jonestown Massacre are probably the best thing about San Francisco's music scene right now! When I lived in that city from mid-'93 to late '94, they were already a fixture in SF's local live band scene, although at this time they hadn't put out anything on CD and no one outside the Bay Area had heard of them. I saw them live a few times, and I could always count on them to put on a way-cool trippy mindfuckfest which seemed to be charged with a rather mellow kind of energy. Back then they had a little "mini-scene" of friends and fellow SFers who were into droney indie stuff like Spacemen 3 or Th' Faith Healers - there was a band called the Imajinary Friends consisting of a few BJM members as well as the original drummer for Swervedriver. Anyway, the BJM are definitely one of the most interesting indie bands around at the moment. METHODRONE, their first disc, combines all the best elements of My Bloody Valentine, Spacemen 3, the Seeds and late-'60s Rolling Stones; THANK GOD FOR MENTAL ILLNESS is an acoustic, lo-fi jam session which sounds like some jam session the Stones did when Brian Jones was still with the band. As for touring, I've never seen or heard anything about them touring outside California; I certainly doubt I'll see them swing by this neck of the woods (NYC), although if they did I'd definitely catch them. **************************************************************************** ** john lee ** jlee@echonyc.com ** http://www.echonyc.com/~jlee/crazyivan ** **************************************************************************** ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

It was sad there is no documentation on it. Is it an old or new LP. I have some records of the Phantom Surfers from the 90's. This is the same group? Does anybody have information about this record?

I think it is so fab how all of their albums are sooo different! Methodrone and Mental Illness are actually my favorites (out of 4 total albums, which were released all within a very short period of time) > As for touring, I've never seen or heard anything about them touring > outside California; I certainly doubt I'll see them swing by this neck > of the woods (NYC), although if they did I'd definitely catch them. I don't think they have been to NYC, but they do get out of Cali. In February they were up here in Portland with me. They were on a West Coast tour with Swoon 23 (a MUST!! they are FAB) and the Dandy Warhols (a band I work for). All of them played a Seattle show together too. AND they were at SxSW in Texas. I believe they actually have some good friends living in NYC so them coming out there isn't entirely impossible! BJM, The Dandy's and Swoon 23 are all a part of an upcoming documentary based mostly on these three but including about 10 other bands from the west coast. It's a real life documentary and from what I hear it is VERY unbiased, truly showing the good and the bad sides of the band and touring. Anyways, it's called The Cut and if anyone wants more info on it, let me know. I will be working with the producers to make the documentary available over the internet and using the internet to give wider exposure to these bands and their cause. - -kali kali@europa.com ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

This is typical phantom surfer genius--copying an old record to a T.
