The Brian Jonestown Massacre (frequently abbreviated as "BJM" or "The BJM") are a neo-psychedelic rock band, founded in San Francisco, California, in the early 1990s, led by Anton Newcombe.
The BJM's music can mostly be described as "neo-psychedelic", since it is generally perceived to be "mind-expanding" music, and because it can be seen as being a "continuation" of music from the 1960s.
The name is an homage to Brian Jones, original lead guitarist for the Rolling Stones.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre is one of the best bands of my generation. Too bad they've never had much commercial success.

Get the The Brian Jonestown Massacre mug.The most boring and useless town in all of America where there are more bomb threats than snow days and more jersey shore wannabes than honor students. The only thing to keep people here entertained is the drugs theyre on and the fights in school. If you dont do either youre an outcast and if you do nobody likes you. Every other word that comes out of a persons mouth is "legit" or "oh em gee". A "thats what she said joke" is also very common. There are only 3 different styles of the way people dress here: Scene, Skater, and Preppy. If you've never been spotted bowling, chilling at brewed, or wandering around aimlessly at the park with people, you dont exist. There really is no point in being here.

The feeling of dread and hopelessness that occurs when one visits or unfortunately lives in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. This syndrome causes everyone to become angry out of spite and be extremely rude to one another. The only thing going for this town is the amount of massive, devastating floods that have killed the entire town. If you’re lucky… maybe you’ll be in the next one and get flushed down the Conemaugh like your coal cracker ancestors.
