In the Jingle Jangle Jungle by Joel Gion

In the Jingle Jangle Jungle by Joel Gion

Resident's Book of the Year 2024
A Rough Trade Book of the Year 2024

The Brian Jonestown Massacre are one of the great contemporary cult American rock 'n' roll bands. At the peak of their anarchic reign in the San Francisco underground of the mid '90s, their psychedelic output, '60s sensibility, incendiary live shows and rivalry with friends, rivals and nemeses The Dandy Warhols, were almost as infamous, prodigious and impressive as their narcotic intake. A righteous account of the hazards and pleasures of life on and off the road, In the Jingle Jangle Jungle lifts the curtain on life in the band.

Funny as hell and shot through with innocence, wonder and sparkling humour, In the Jingle Jangle Jungle is destined to take its place alongside cult classics in the pantheon of rock 'n' roll literature.
