Watch Dig! Online

Compiled from 2,000 hours of footage and narrated by Courtney Taylor, DiG! follows the underground artist Anton Newcombe, revealing him to be one of the more important (during the film, Newcombe claims to be able to play over eighty musical instruments) yet comparatively unnoticed artists of our time.

In 1996, Anton Newcombe and his band, The Brian Jonestown Massacre – who in a decade independently released 11 albums, 3 recorded in one year – are hell-bent on staging a revolution in the music industry. They are convinced their friends, The Dandy Warhols, will join them to create a united front. But Anton destroys every opportunity for financial success, either because he is drunk/high on drugs, or just because he can not conform to what the record labels need him to do.

While tracking the destructive path of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, DIG! also accompanies the more well-adjusted Warhols through their leader Courtney Taylor, as they navigate the corporate sea, trying to maintain their creative edge while starring in mega-budget music videos and entertaining crowds in the tens of thousands.

The Dandy Warhols' and The Brian Jonestown Massacre's friendship gradually grow further apart as Anton's destructive nature and extreme jealously creates tension between the two bands.
