==Background==

The Brian Jonestown Massacre began as a [[shoegazing]] group in [[San Francisco]] in the late 1980s. After their debut and sophomore albums, the group quickly turned to a broader style of [[psychedelic rock]] incorporating [[Folk rock|folk]], [[Blues rock|blues]], [[Raga rock|raga]], and later, [[electronica]] influences. The name "Brian Jonestown Massacre" is a [[portmanteau]] of [[The Rolling Stones]]' founder and guitarist [[Brian Jones]] and the infamous mass [[cult]] suicide in [[Jonestown]], [[Guyana]].<ref>{{cite news|title=A timeless sound keeps psych-rockers BJM relevant|first=Kevin |last=Hopper |work=Albuquerque Journal|date=January 2, 2004|page=15}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Town Without Pity; 30 Years Later, Memories of Jonestown Evoke Guilt, Anger and Mistrust|first=Charles A |last=Krause|work=The Washington Post|date=November 19, 2008|page=C.1}}</ref>They have gained media notoriety for their tumultuous working relationships and the drug addiction of their leader, Anton Newcombe.<ref>http://thequietus.com/articles/03702Neo-the-brian-jonestown-massacre-an-anton-newcombe-interveiwPsych Out, Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly, May 23, 2005</ref>{{rs|date=December 2013}}
