[edit] The Brian Jonestown Massacre
Referred to as "Spokesman of the Revolution," Gion played tambourine and occasionally sang backing vocals. He appears in the 2004 documentary DiG!, and is featured prominently on the cover of the DVD of the same film. His image is also on the cover of the Brian Jonestown Massacre album, Thank God For Mental Illness (and a very distended image of him can be seen on Give It Back!). He was the longest serving member of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, save band leader Anton Newcombe.
He rejoined The Brian Jonestown Massacre for their 2006 tour and still plays tambourine and maracas with the band.
[edit] Solo
In 2011 Gion released his first solo vinyl EP "Extended Play".
