Joel Gion

Joel has been the tambourine-playing frontman of The Brian Jonestown Massacre for the last thirty years. He's THAT good at it. The band was formed in 1990 and immediately established itself as not only the torch-bearers of the classic 60s 'San Francisco Sound', but also as the most prominent US chapter of Shoegaze and Britpop.
The prestigious Sundance Film Festival's 'Grand-Jury Prize' of 2004 was unanimously awarded to Dig!, a documentary based on The Brian Jonestown Massacre and their interchangeable friends/foes The Dandy Warhols. It quickly became a global cinematic sensation and catapulted BJM onto the world stage, where they have remained ever since. While the film's main focus was on the two bands' lead singers, many consider Joel to

Leo Harrison

About me - I was born in Hampstead in 1966 into a home with zero mod cons and even less disposable income. However, throughout what was undoubtedly an unorthodox childhood, my parents introduced me to a series of bizarre and eccentric characters. So, to mum and dad (both RIP) I give my thanks for a tendency to drift off into a world of my own imagination.
By day I've had a varied career: antiquarian bookseller, digital marketing agency founder and I even launched a business which went from a valuation of nearly £20M to bust in the space of 18 long months. Consequently, I live a reasonably modest life with my lovely family up near Alexandra Palace.The yacht will have to wait, not that I'd ever want one anyway.
