ACROSS THE RIVER - N.O. demo (1986)

I think I found something interesting here...this is the Kyuss song "N.O." played 8 years before its official release in "Welcome To Sky Valley"...

ACROSS THE RIVER – “N.O.” (unreleased demo, 1986) Truly, the beginning of everything bearing the Desert Rock toetag. ACROSS THE RIVER were from the high desert, and were Mario Lalli (YAWNING MAN, FATSO JETSON, SORT OF QUARTET, TEN EAST etc.), Scott Reeder (THE OBSESSED, KYUSS, NEBULA etc.) and Alfredo Hernandez (KYUSS, YAWNING MAN, VIC DU MONTE’S PERSONA NON GRATA, etc.). They were young and totally hot n nasty in a bitchen BLACK OAK ARKANSAS meets midperiod BLACK FLAG kind of way. Sadly, they were too early for all them just-post-hardcore kids to fully grok. Plans for a release on SST (working title: Live At County Line) never came to pass...
For now, I have been told that there are like 4 or 5 ATR songs that were recently found on a multitrack... I could get only this one for now, but I will reply with more...
Enjoy my GOMIES...

KYUSS - DEMON CLEANER EP pts 1&2

A collectors item, the great thing about this EP are the two Pre-Circus versions of Rodeo and Hurricane, which sound very similar to edited versions, except for Garcia's singing tone, plus other voice effects, the live tracks has acceptable sound quality too, so, there's no much to say, it's Kyuss man..

The first CD has the following songs on it:
1. Demon Cleaner
2. Day One
3. El Rodeo (pre-Circus)
4. Hurricane (pre-Circus)

The second CD has these songs on it:

1. Demon Cleaner (yeah, again, but I left out from the file, it’s the same in CD1)
2. Gardenia (live)
3. Thumb (live)
4. Conan Troutman (live)
The live tracks were recorded at Marquee club, Hamburg (Germany).

LISTEN WITHOUT DISTRACTION - A TRIBUTE TO KYUSS (RE-UP)

Big thanks to Jordan for letting me know the old link on this one was bad.

This is a great tribute! I admit, it took some time for a few of the covers to grow on me, but over time I came to respect the effort of every band featured on this CD. If you don't think the idea of 16 Argentinean bands covering KYUSS classics sounds like a good one, I understand your skepticism, but I also know you'll probably change your mind about 20 seconds into CYGNUS' rendition of "Thumb". Highlights? Definitely CRUZDIABLO's merging of "100 Degrees" and "Whitewater", as well as SAURON's "Phototropic". SENDERO LUMINOSO's acoustic slant on "Love Has Passed Me By" is very interesting. Of course, another highlight is the extensive liner notes, penned by the one and only Scott Reeder, but in order to read those you'll need to order your own copy at stonerrock.com.

Before I gush any further, I'll just say that if you enjoy tribute albums, I think this is exactly the tribute album for the G.O.M.E. faithful. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the "comments" section and let us know.

SCOTT REEDER - TUNNELVISION BRILLIANCE (2006) ***BY REQUEST***

I was delighted to see Iggy request this one. Tunnelvision Brilliance was the best record of 2006, hands down. For the uninitiated, Scott Reeder paid his dues on bass with THE OBSESSED, KYUSS, and even UNIDA (for a brief time). On this particular record, he plays every instrument himself, and he sings every vocal. The record is truly a labor of love and commitment to the project, as parts of the album were recorded as early as 1987. So do parts of it sound dated? Absolutely. The faux-DEPECHE "Away" could've been left off, and as great as "For Renee" is, it still sounds like DEF LEPPARD's "Love Bites". But those songs are merely pieces of a brilliant puzzle. That puzzle is highlighted by the Lanegan-esque "Thanks", the whimsical "Fuck You All" (cough cough Josh Homme, cough cough Nick Oliveri), the beautiful acoustic ode to Scott's wife (the closer, "As I'm Dreamin'") and my pick for the best fucking song of our young millennium, "Diamond".

1. When I Was...
2. Thanks
3. The Silver Tree
4. Away
5. Diamond
6. When
7. For Renee
8. The Day of Neverending
9. Queen of Greed

BRANT BJORK - TRES DIAS (2007)

Here's another treat for the Deserthead section of the G.O.M.E. faithful. On this limited edition release, Brant picks and chooses from his entire solo catalog and debuts three new songs. These are not album versions, but rather the 8-track equivalent of the great Brant Bjork loading a bowl, cracking a beer, and covering his own tunes.

Brant sez: Some days, I just like to sit outside, under the sun, with my guitar, and sing my songs to myself. It relaxes me. It also reminds me what my songs are all about.

Tres Dias is available in very limited quantities. I suggest the super-cool yellow vinyl. I encourage you all to support Brant Bjork Duna Records.

*note: This archive includes a QOTSAXFM-esque bonus. I would prefer that it not be mentioned by name in the comments.

1. Too Many Chiefs...
2. Love Is Revolution
3. Chinarosa
4. The Native Tongue
5. Video
6. The Right Time
7. The Messengers
8. The Knight Surrenders Today

BRANT BJORK & THE BROS - SAVED BY MAGIC (2005) ***BY REQUEST***

Matias requested this double-disc warhorse, and since he's really contributing to the page, I feel like I should oblige him. It should come as no surprise to anyone that Big Jack is a huge fan of Brant Bjork's music. Bjork actually reminds me a lot of Chris Goss and Josh Homme, not just because of the KYUSS family tree, but because all three of them seem to have more music in them than they know what to do with. This sprawling doubler is not Bjork's best work in my opinion, but only because it's so diffuse. It introduces THE BROS, though, who are making a much bigger splash this year with Somera Sol. That said, there's a lot to enjoy here. "Lil Bro" is one of my favorite Brant Bjork tunes, and I particularly dig the "Sunshine of Your Love" cover. Brant's one of rock's greatest drummers, but he's not the most dynamic frontman. He's also not the world's greatest shredder. He makes up for it with solid writing, attitude, and an incredible ear. He knows what he likes, and it works. Saved by Magic isn't my favorite Brant Bjork project, but he's yet to release a bad one. Recommended.
