I was lucky enough to see Kyuss live back in 1995. The opened up for Faith No More with Babes In Toyland on the bill too. Nick Oliveri was long gone from the band by then. Scott Reeder played bass. It was amazing and cemented my love for that heavy vein of hard rock that was surfacing in the 90s. Stoner Rock, Desert Rock, whatever you want to call it. That scene spawned so many amazing bands. Hell the splinters of Kyuss alone have produced a pretty incredible array of bands from it's members.
So I've been keen to follow what Nick has been up to and been a Mondo Generator fan from the first note I ever heard. A not to be missed live act for sure. This night Mondo was opening for the mighty Church Of Misery and came loaded for bear. This live lineup features Mike Pygmie on guitar and Mike Amster on drums and they were tight as hell and absolutely crushed.
Mondo Generator has 2 new albums out this year on Heavy Psych Sounds. Go buy that shit. Nick is a road dog and no doubt has taken a hit from not being able to tour this year. Go support him and all independent artists and labels in anyway you can in this crazy time.
I think this recording turned out really nice and the set list is chalk full of bad ass songs. I had never heard 'Shawnette' from Cocaine Rodeo live before. Killer originals and some Kyuss and QOTSA covers. Hot damn!! Enjoy.
