At the weekend I went to see Dig! It was quite entertaining, the juxtaposition of The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s complete inability to play the game with The Dandy Warhols’ ultimate crossover success through a Vodafone commercial made for interesting viewing.
What comes across most strongly is that BJM main man Anton Newcome is a complete and utter bam. From attacking members of his band midway through songs to wrecking industry shows from attempting to sabotage Dandy Warhols gigs to multiple arrests he comes across as one of the biggest ever fuck ups to become a musician.
Since seeing the film I’ve been reading the BJM website and in particular this statement by Anton Newcombe who insists that the film is a gross misrepresentation of him.
