DIG! XX

DIG! XX is the 20th anniversary extended edition of the rock documentary DIG!, which adds new narration by The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s Joel Gion.

The film looks at the collision of art and commerce through the star-crossed friendship and bitter rivalry of dueling rock bands — The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Through their loves and obsessions, gigs, arrests and death threats, uppers and downers, and ultimately to their chance at a piece of the profit-driven music business, they stage a self-proclaimed revolution in the music industry.

“Constantly entertaining as it parades no end of fascinating egos and hilarious pretentiousness, this ultimately proves to be a literal showbiz tragicomedy, as it juxtaposes the confidence and calculated success of Courtney Taylor’s indie pop-stars against the harrowing self-destruction of BJM’s Anton Newcombe.” ~AroVideo (2004)
