The Dilettantes are fronted by mutton-chopped tambourine player Joel Gion, better referred to as among the longest-lasting members of psychedelic rock & roll music group the Brian Jonestown Massacre. The Dilettantes, whose sound strays small from BJM, can be curved out by guitarists Jefferson Parker and Brock Galland, drummer KC Kozak and bassist Nick Marcantonio. The debut recording arrived in the proper execution of 101 Tambourines in summer season 2007.
