Artist: Kyuss

Flannel, Marlboros, and family "complications" may have played a role in musically shaping Owl Magger, Johnny Firecloud.

Bald men with beards. Long-haired Lotharios in leather pants. Tattooed chicks in studded denim vests. This is just a sample of the crowd that showed up for the sold-out Kyuss Lives show at Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom Wednesday night. The Coachella Valley rooted band never really hit it big with their brand of sexified stoner rock before they disbanded in 1995, but with their legions of dedicated fans you'd never guess otherwise. That probably explains why when they announced their reunion tour, the die-hards came out in droves. Of course since ex-guitarist Josh Homme is no longer in the [...]

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!

TUNE-YARDS, PAT JORDACHE, MALAIKAT DAN SINGA ( Wonder Ballroom , 128 NE Russell) The performances of Merrill Garbus—better known as the eclectically capitalized tUnE-yArDs—are clattering, rapturous affairs, in which her loops of percussion and voice build into ecstatic, rhythmic releases. With a crack backing band and a genuinely joyous live show, Garbus is practically a force of nature. NED LANNAMANN KYUSS LIVES!, THE SWORD, YOB, BLACK COBRA ( Roseland , 8 NW 6th) [...]

Kyuss Lives! w/ Original Members Brant Bjork, John Garcia & Nick Oliveri Friday, November 18 The Wiltern Tickets & Info [ ENTER TO WIN TICKETS ]

Man, sometimes I really wish I could afford to pack up and move to the California desert. For almost 20 years, many of the bands who I love the most have come from that area, but I'll never have the chance to see any of them play a live show where I'm at now. Who the hell comes to Nebraska? A lot of my favorite groups won't, but sometimes their cd's will. Warts And All , the debut by Ogressa , is the latest prize possession I've greedily snatched out of my mailbox with my [...]

by BBG Black Cobra (photo by Raymond Ahner) Two-man destruction unit Black Cobra returns with Invernal , the band's new LP due on 10/11 via Southern Lord. Invernal holds no tricks or left turns as to what we've come to love about the big-riff guitar duo, just another eight tracks of bulldozing sludge accompanied by a pounding drum assault. There is no dimmer switch for a band like Black Cobra, only off-and [...]

Edgar Allen Poe died broke and mad?his creative genius never realized until after his death. It seems Kyuss? influence wasn?t felt until after its demise. Fortunately for the group, these desert rockers didn?t have to literally die to make an impact. Sixteen years after disbanding, Kyuss has returned and judging by the massive gathering inside Stub...
