I think that most people in their right mind thought that having a Kyuss almost-reunion without Josh Homme and calling it Kyuss Lives! was a lame idea, but it turns out, it may also be unlawful. Over the weekend, Josh Homme and Scott Reeder - inarguably the two most well-known members of the original Kyuss [...]
Uh-oh. Remember when John Garcia and Brant Bjork announced their plans to tour the world under the Kyuss Lives! moniker, playing songs written when they were both members of Kyuss? They even recruited Nick Oliveri on bass (until he, err, decided to take on an LA SWAT team in that is) on bass to make it seem even more legit. Well, news has arisen today that Josh Homme, the only absentee member of the classic Kyuss line-up not included in Kyuss Lives!, and Scott Reeder, the Kyuss bassst who KL! recruited after Nick Oliveri...err... decided to pick a [...]
Stoner rockers from Brighton who've toured with Brant Bjork but DON'T just sound like Kyuss or Down? We thought we'd interview Sedulus. Decent!
Alright, alright, alright...the weekend is here. Hopefully the sun is shining wherever you are. Here are some newish songs I am tracking right now that make me want to go fishing, sit on a beach or just relax on a patio and drink heavily. 1. San Cisco - Golden Retriever **Band Website** 2. Jens Lekman - An Argument With Myself 3. Brant Bjork [...]

Call it Kyuss. Call it Kyuss LIVES! Moan about the lack of Josh Homme. Enjoy it for what it is. Either way, we went and got blitzed. We got photos too!
Kyuss Lives! Title TBA Label TBA ETA late 2011 What they're saying: Kyuss Lives! frontman, John Garcia, we interviewed in the most recent issue of Terrorizer as to how the parties involved in the Kyuss Lives! reunion decided to record a new album: "Our rehearsals are going so well that Brant [Bjork, drums], Nick [Oliveri, [...]
One of these men will not be on the new Kyuss album. Guess which one? Kyuss Lives!, the ridiculously monikered Kyuss non-reunion which replaces Josh Homme with some dude no one has ever heard of, are apparently "thinking of doing another record," according to this interview with vocalist John Garcia. I object to the use [...]
Steven Blush's American Hardcore: A Tribal History is one of the great rock n' roll history books. And now it's bigger. Originally published in 2001, the Feral House book nails the golden age of old-school hardcore, from the movement's inception to the watershed year 1986. The book inspired a documentary, the 2006 film American Hardcore. [...]
Our ih-house surly bastard, Hugh Platt, greete d the news that "Kyuss" were reforming by sighing too much, and pulling a face that makes Droopy look happy. What exactly is his problem with 'Kyuss Lives!'...? Sorry, but this ain't Kyuss. Not even close. Sure, click over to the band's Wikipedia page, scrool down and Lo! John Garcia, Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri are [...]
Back in July, Amit Sharma returned to us like a stoner with ten coffees in him. The reason? He'd just hung out with his hero, John Garcia at his London show. Kyuss reformed this week, minus Josh Homme. Words ensued... You may have heard that "Kyuss" are reforming for some European dates in Spring next [...]
The first official photo of Kyuss Lives. I know that everyone and their mother would love to see a Kyuss reunion, but they're one of those bands where you kinda hafta stop and consider: What would constitute a Kyuss reunion? Take, for example, Kyuss Lives, and not-really-new band that will reunite 75% of Kyuss' original, [...]

Is 'living legend' an over-used phrase? Not when you're talking about John Garcia it isn't. We sent Amit Sharma to interrogate stoner rock's standard-bearer when he played at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, earlier this month. Sometimes, even with the benefit of hindsight, it seems almost impossible to gauge the true impact of a band. [...]

This year's NXNE got off to a slow start for me. I skipped Wednesday night, partly because I'm getting old and can't do that many nights in a row and still work during the day, party because there just wasn't anything very interesting happening with a painfully light show schedule. Thursday I jumped in with the maon stage show at Yonge Dundas Square. When I arrived Brant Bjork & the Bros were
Me la levo subito dalla tasca, Brant Bjork rimane un gran batterista ma alla chitarra e voce lascia molto a desiderare. Già parlare di cantare per lui è un complimento, diciamo che il tizio si avvicina al microfono e parla con un vago senso di una melodia già scarna che assieme alla sua band riesce ad imbastire. Per dire, manco Hendrix era un cantante, però.. Alla chitarra poi è una mezza chiavica, dalle basi blues parte e lì si ferma. Quattro accordi messi in croce li mette e niente più. Però assieme ai Bros la ricetta in qualche modo ieri [...]
Domani al Magnolia faremo un patto con Brant Bjork . Noi veniamo, stiamo lì sotto il palco, lo ascoltiamo, lo guardiamo e sognamo di fare un salto nel tempo ai tempi delle session nel deserto con i Kyuss. In cambio da lui vogliamo solo una bella botta, niente di più. Stamattina metto su l'ultimo Punk Rock Guilt e lo levo dopo il quarto pezzo, brutto segno, non era fasato. Sostituisco con Blues for the red sun e ritrovo me stesso. Si ingrassa il bill del Roadburn 2009 [...]
Hey, it's Friday. Do you know what that means? I'm just beginning my work week, which is about the worst thought imaginable. Actually, that's not true, as I think I recently compiled a top ten list ranking some of the "worst things". Actually, it was ten horrible things that could happen to you ...but you get the idea. I probably shouldn't slag off about my work considering the hours are cushy and the environment is relatively stress-free. Just today someone walked up to me and handed me four free tickets to a screening of Burn After Reading next Thursday [...]
Apologies are in order to those of you who enjoy my playlists. I'll my best to keep my New Year's Resolution of being more active here on S2S. Jimmy Morbid requested some good stoner rock, and as that's my specialty, I'm more than happy to oblige. Smoke it if you got it. Song: Locked & Loaded Artist: Brant Bjork Album: Punk Rock Guilt Comments: I can't get enough of this new jam from the king of desert cool. I'm very excited about the new album and label . Brother Brant consistently [...]
