John Garcia To Play Kyuss Songs On Solo Tour

artist: kyuss date: 02/04/2010 category: upcoming tours
rating: 0 / votes: 0 

Former Kyuss singer John Garcia has announced that he'll be touring and playing Kyuss songs. Since Kyuss, Garcia's musical projects include Sloburn, Unida and John's most recent band Hermano, plus side projects with The Crystal Method, Danko Jones and countless others who embraced the singer from the Southern California desert.

Why? Kyuss, the inventors of Desert Rock, have been in the last ten years much more popular than when they were still around in the early nineties. So, due to massive public demand over the years to play songs from his old cult band Kyuss, John finally made the decision to give the fans what they want. He will do this unique project with a few hand selected musicians.

The last couple of years John Garcia thought often about reviving his Kyuss-legacy on stage. The more he thought about it, the more he really wanted to do this. John commented: "I don't want to do this just for myself, but especially for the fans. Both for the ones that have seen Kyuss live back in the days, and especially for the ones who haven't had that chance. This could be as close as they could get to the real thing. Please bear in mind that this could be a one-off unique opportunity!"

So that being said, the Garcia Plays Kyuss-project (alias GPK) was born. Garcia, accompanied by these fine selection of musicians, Bruno Fevery (guitar), Jacques de Haard (bass) and Rob Snijders (drums), will head out to play all Kyuss set.

Pretty cool, but still, a reunion would be ideal, too bad.

I've been waiting for years for a Kyuss reunion to happen too, but I doubt it will.

Brant Bjork on Drums and Scott Reeder on Bass would have been great.

I feel like johns vocals sound the the most campy, in retrospect, opposed to other components of kyuss.

I just got back into the habit of listening to "Sky Valley" once a day in its entirety. In the wake of the good news I think I'll give it a second spin.

Really cool, at the end of the day as long as the rest of the band plays there parts right his voice is kyuss.

I'm a huge Kyuss fan, and I'd love to see this tour, but I don't want them to reunite. Personally, I think Josh forgot how to be heavy.
