Flutist 'Raugust', the still unidentified member of Brian Jonestown Massacre, could well be Melanie Raugust, who played flute on Sukia's records. Sukia comes from the same scene as Tipsy, which is linked to BJT.
Sukia's MySpace mentions Melanie Raugust:
[www.myspace.com]
"Additional and contributing members of Sukia have included: (...) Melanie Raugust: Flute"
Does anyone have information that confirms this?
