Regular collaborators include his son bassist/guitarist Dino Lalli, Fatso Jetson/All Souls drummer Tony Tornay, jazz-punk guitar great Joe Baiza and noted saxophonist Vince Meghrouni. Instead, the support slot will be filled by Yawning Man/Fatso Jetson guitarist Mario Lalli and his improvisational collective the Rubber Snake Charmers for these two shows in Santa Cruz and Albany. While its current “Interstellar Taco Tour” was supposed to feature desert-rock brethren and pioneering Palm Desert outfit Yawning Man, illness has forced the band off the bill.
The band will be previewing material from it’s forthcoming sophomore Heavy Psych Sounds album Totally… set for release in early May.
Filled with propulsive, head-nodding rhythms and Bjork’s laid-back vocal delivery, the band’s debut Stoners Rule and follow-up pandemic in-concert document Live in the Mojave Desert showcase an iconic sound that the players helped define. But given that 2/3 of the band actually invented the wheel in this case, that is not a bad thing. Rounded out by longtime Brant Bjork Band drummer Ryan Gut, Stöner isn’t looking to reinvent the wheel when it comes to fuzzed-out, heavy desert rock grooves. Two years ago, he and Bjork announced a new collaboration in the band Stöner. Oliveri additionally teamed with fellow stoner-rock veterans Bob Balch (Fu Manchu) and Gary Arce (Yawning Man, Ten East) for the band the band Big Scenic Nowhere, with the bassist contributing to a pair of EPs and the full-length album Vision Beyond Horizon. While Bjork and Oliveri have stayed busy with their own projects, with both musicians releasing a number of reissues and compilations through the Heavy Psych Sounds imprint. Despite the turmoil of the legal battle and not one, but two departures by Oliveri, Vista Chino has emerged triumphant with Peace, a stunning debut album on Napalm Records that lived up to the high standards set by Kyuss. Unlike many drummers, Bjork is an equally gifted songwriter, guitarist and singer who also has fronted a number of heavy rock bands including Che and Brant Bjork and the Bros. Fans rejoiced in 2010 when Bjork reunited with original Kyuss singer John Garcia and bassist Oliveri to tour as Kyuss Lives! with Belgian guitarist Bruno Fevery filled the sizeable shoes of Kyuss founder and Queens of the Stone Age leader Homme.īut when the group announced plans to record new material under the moniker, Homme and latter-era Kyuss bassist Scott Reader blindsided the band with a lawsuit that eventually forced a name change to Vista Chino. Bjork’s talents behind the kit have earned him a future spot in Valhalla’s pantheon of rock percussionists alongside the likes of Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham, Sabbath’s Bill Ward and the Who’s madman drummer Keith Moon.

Meanwhile, Bjork left the Kyuss after their major-label debut Welcome to Sky Valley in 1993, moving on to join popular Orange County punk/metal outfit Fu Manchu for a series of albums and tours.

Oliveri would leave Kyuss before that second album was released, going on to be a key member of high-octane punk legends the Dwarves (under the pseudonym Rex Everything) and leading his own band Mondo Generator as well as later serving as co-frontman and songwriting foil in Queens of the Stone Age, the group started by Kyuss guitarist Josh Homme after that band split up in 1995.
