THIS IS WHY YOU LOVE ME – Brian Jonestown Massacre Hypnotise A Packed Brixton Academy

Many music writers, this one included, have incurred the wrath of Anton Newcombe for daring to mention Dig! – the 2004 documentary which simultaneously made and purportedly buried Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Yet while friends and competitors The Dandy Warhols were portrayed as undisputed winners at the end of that film – it’s Anton’s band who marches on with a 20-plus album career and a fanbase big enough to comfortably fill Brixton Academy.

Allegra Gears Up To Take Mainstream Pop By Storm In 2024

London-based Allegra is hotly tipped to make her mark on mainstream pop in 2024 after a jam-packed year establishing herself as one of the most promising UK acts in recent years. After breaking out onto the dance-pop scene in 2019, Allegra’s success has rapidly grown, having collaborated with numerous big-time DJs/producers such as Tobtok, Majestic and most recently Tiësto. Joining forces with Tiësto led to a killer, soul-stirring remix of the single “Round and Round” which amounted to a staggering 5.1 million Spotify streams, a collaboration with Peloton and Times Square Billboard. This has catapulted the rising star to new extremes, shaping a bright, electrifying future ahead of her.
