Press

"The Last Days of Jonestown, by the Jonestown Band, is a quirky beast of an album...it’s a compellingly authentic blues album, drenched in the laid back country grooves you’d expect to find on a dusty Southern American street. The music reaches way back for its influences, past the pop blues of bands like the Guess Who and Cream, whose interpretations appear as brief touchstones in the music, to the snarling simplicity and methodical anguish of Willie Dixon and Muddy Waters".

— Mark Lyndersay, The Trinidad Guardian

"Gritty, well played rock and roll, with elements of popular music".

— Chris Ry, Author (US)

"Jones is the real blues deal, with a raw voice of plaintive reality...But these messages drawn from the dark side are filled with an exuberance, lifting them out of depression and onto a plane of tough love, warning us all about the razor wire ahead..."

— Chuck Graham, Let The Show Begin (US)

"Envision a black, urban desperado wandering through the desolation of a post-apocalyptic world with a bass guitar slung across his back, belting out kickass, soulful blues rock as he roams the badlands in search of the last remaining Honky Tonk. OK. Now this is what The Last Days of Jonestown sounds like".

— Christopher Mendes, The Reader's Bookshop

"The Jonestown Band’s "The Last Days Of Jonestown" is a concept album of sorts, but it’s not about the historical Jonestown Massacre. The songs that make up the album are culled from the themes born out of film noir movies and spaghetti westerns, or movies that incorporate thematic shades related to religion or the end of the world. That being said, the music that puts these themes into fruition is gritty, well-played rock and roll" Rating: 3.5/5 Stars

— Mike DeGagne, Ariel Publicity

Questions

Ask The Jonestown Band anything...

Q: tucsontalent wants to know if your video was shot on film or digital? I really like the look, nice job.

A: I'm no expert, but I believe it was shot on a digital HD camera. It was done by a cinematographer, who liked my music, and volunteerd his services. I would not have been able to afford such a high quality video otherwise! I'm in the process of producing another video with another friend who has volunteered time and expertise for the same reason...if you need more info let me know! Malo
