Biography

For 2011 touring line-up, see Kyuss Lives! . Kyuss (pronounced /ˈkaɪ.əs/ KYE-əs) is the corner stone of what is known as stoner rock or desert rock . Although deriving influence from 70s hard rock , Kyuss churned out a unique sound. This was primarily because guitarist Josh Homme often tuned to a low C, a major third below standard pitch, but also singer John Garcia 's paint stripping vocals. The band was originally formed in 1989 in Palm Desert, California under the name "Sons of Kyuss". They took the name from a monster in Dungeons and Dragons.

Memorabel optreden in '95. Ik zie Garcia nog altijd zitten op het podium. Terwijl de rest van de band aan het opbouwen was naar een van de vele hoogtepunten in hun verbluffende set, zat Garcia op het podium en keek hij naar het publiek dat langzaam gek werd. Net op tijd begon hij weer te zingen om ons allen een delirium te bezorgen. Garcia plays Kuyss in de Vooruit (29 mei). I'll be there!
