Follow the story, here. Sounds cool, though I’m not familiar with Brian Jonestown Massacre. From Liz, the Orange Peel’s marketing wiz:

As you might already know,  Brian Jonestown Massacre is playing the Peel next week, at 9pm on Wednesday – tickets at $15 in advance and we still have some available.
 
Since this is the first time that our city has ever hosted Brian Jonestown Massacre, we thought it would be fun to show the documentary “Dig,” which is how many people (including myself) first became acquainted with the band. If you’re not familiar with DIG, it was a 2004 documentary that chronicled the relationship (and rivalry) between BJM and the Dandy Warhols – VERY interesting even if you weren’t a fan of either band before seeing it.  It won 2004’s Grand Jury Prize for documentaries at Sundance.
 
The Asheville Pizza Company is going to be screening “DiG” on Tuesday the 7th, at 10pm, the night before the BJM show at their Merrimon Ave. location.  The film will be free for anyone who shows a ticket (or an online confirmation) purchased for the show at the Orange Peel the next night.  For anyone else, they’ll be $3.
 
It’s rather short notice, I know, but the film is something any music lover would enjoy, I think, and we want to get the word out to all the BJM fans who won’t want to miss the showing.

Thanks!
Liz
