http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1651&rws=%2Fkyuss%2Fdiscography.rssAlong with San Jose, California's Sleep, Kyuss set down the blueprint for stoner rock, with a groovier, more alternative rock-influenced take on Sabbath than their classically-obsessed brethren to the north. Formed in Palm Desert, California in 1990 by guitarist Josh Homme, bassist Nick Oliveri, drummer Brant Bjork and singer John Garcia, the band quickly gained a following on the strength of their raging live performances and second record, <I>Blues For The Red Sun</I>, which was produced by Chris Goss of Masters Of Reality. Kyuss' magnum opus, <I>Welcome To Sky Valley</I> followed, a record in which they took their once somewhat tightly structured groove-rock songs and smashed them together into extended, multipart, super-heavy psyche-metal jams. The guitar sound itself on the first three minutes of that record sums up late '90s stoner rock -- a warm blanket of distortion with unheard of amounts, yet precisely controlled fuzz with a slightly muffled feel. Personal differences beset the band early on and by the release of <I>And The Circus leaves Town</I> in 1995, Kyuss had called it quits for good. Homme went on to form Queens Of The Stone Age with Oliveri. - Mike McGuirkStoner Rocken720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 08:16:08 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1651&rws=%2Fkyuss%2Fdiscography.rss Along with San Jose, California's Sleep, Kyuss set down the blueprint for stoner rock, with a groovier, more alternative rock-influenced take on Sabbath than their classically-obsessed brethren to the north.
