Omschrijving
The memoir from Joel Gion, the tambourine playing frontman of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, one of the great contemporary cult American rock and roll bands.
I shot the perfect bootleg video of Joel with the BJM once: he's menacing but perfectly in the pocket with his tambourine and I just couldn't turn away. Damnit, now he's got me glued to these pages in a similar way... I think my brother knows how to feel.
Tales told through the prism of San Franciscian subterranean psychescenster Joel Gion. Casted into the fray via the vanguard of an embryonic yet already near mythical BJM brethren, bubbling up from faded Victorian grandeur bedsit land streets, as a new youth guitar scene thus unravels into existence. Surely genuine psychedelia's last stand
A new postmodern Beat sensation. Gion steers us through the hedonism and headaches of the BJM's alternative America with spontaneous-prose sincerity, ecstatic warmth and a Brautiganesque eye for the absurd. Love it.
Candid, insightful, and by turns both hilarious and regretful... Engaging, unique and endlessly quotable, In the Jingle Jangle Jungle is a must-read for fans of turn-of-the-millennium psychedelic rock 'n' roll.
A riotous, yet strangely graceful walk through a life of deep bohemian adventure
'[while] peppered with breezy humour, it pulls a few punches in exposing the uglier side to life in a struggling rock band'
Provides a fresh perspective to the fabled events witnessed in Dig! plus a panoply of debauched tales from Gion's personal life... Gion is a fount of vibrant storytelling
The memoir draws to a close as the band tours their 1998 album, Strung Out in Heaven, and such are the insightful, acerbic details presented here, one can only hope that Gion is prepping memoir number two
Joel Gion is the 'tambourine playing frontman of Brian Jonestown Massacre' and the star of DIG! the infamous documentary that made them famous 20 years ago. He was born in San Jose but calls San Francisco home. He has been with and in the band for almost three decades.
