THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE
at First Avenue
Saturday, 05/14/16, 8pm ($20)
first-avenue.com
American psychedelic rock band The Brian Jonestown Massacre was named after the original band leader of The Rolling Stones, Brian Jones, and the Jonestown mass murder of over 900 people in a remote religious commune. Both topics were subjects of death and conspiracies.
Perhaps The Brian Jonestown Massacre was best known for appearing in the film Dig! with their rival The Dandy Warhols.
We caught the band in Playground Weekender 2010 and wrote, “The Brian Jonestown Massacre we nearly at the top of my list of bands for the weekend and quite a fitting choice to end the Friday evening line-up. Not too raucous for those of us who were looking forward to a nice nap (*ahem*), but by no means boring. Psychedelic-shoe gaze rock, with tambourine included. Sure many of their songs sounded quite alike to me, but the upside is that even though they sounded quite similar, they were all equally as good. The set even saw a guest appearance from Aimee Nash from The Black Ryder.”
Opening up the MN show will be locals Magic Castles, who we caught in 2013 and loved them: “I actually thought Magic Castles was very good. It’s certainly the only band the featured a flutist on an explosive jam at their set closer.”

THE ENGLISH BEAT
at Dakota Jazz Club
Friday, 05/13/16, 7:30pm ($40-$45)
Saturday, 05/14/16, 7:30pm ($40-$45)
dakotacooks.com
Although they are known as The English Beat in the USA market and The British Beat in Australia… they’ll always be known as The Beat to fans of two tone ska fans.
The story behind the US name change is because the US already had and established powerpop band The Beat (later known as The Paul Collins Beat). Collins and the UK Beat eventually made-up and actually went on tour together in 2012.
The Beat will be doing a two night residency at the Dakota Jazz Club this Friday and Saturday.
