Beatles vs Stones. Morrissey vs Marr. Oasis vs Blur. Drake vs Kendrick. You may think you know rock n’ roll rivalries, but it’s all child’s play until you’ve seen this seminal 2004 documentary detailing the volatile frenemy relationship between then-up-and-coming psychedelic pop/folk refashioners The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre—the former trying to ride those sixties Summer of Love vibes while the self-sabotaging pugilistic musical genius leading the latter taunts them with diss tracks (“Not if You Were the Last Dandy on Earth”) and gift-wrapped shotgun shells with their names on them.
The film—helmed by Miami-raised director Ondi Timoner (Mapplethorpe; Last Flight Home) and christened the “greatest rock n’ roll documentary of all time” by none other than Dave Grohl—has been enhanced with more than forty minutes of new footage and context for its twentieth anniversary.
Experience the power, glory, and sonic sublimity wrought by creative hyper-tension between these two iconic bands.
