DIG!

Following the advice of my brother, I watched the movie 'DIG!' on DVD in the comfort of my own home tonight.

The movie documents the relationship of two bands; Brian Jonestown Massacre(who you probably haven't heard of) and the The Dandy Warhol's(who you probably have heard of) over a period of seven long years and follows them both on joint and separate touring stints. The movie contrasts the Dandy's huge success in both the US and Europe with the BJM's failure to start, with the Dandy's signing to major label Capitol whilst the BJM are still finding their feet after front-man Anton Newcombe tackles with heroin abuse and refuses to
"sell himself" in his words, to a major record company.

Shot in documentary style on a variety of film formats, the movie deals with the bands inital bonding and bitter fall out due to drink, drugs, fights,rock n' roll rivalries and jealousy.
