Cocaine Rodeo
''Cocaine Rodeo'' is the debut studio album by American rock band Mondo Generator, released on Southern Lord Records in 2000. It was compiled of material recorded by vocalist/bassist Nick Oliveri with Rob Oswald of Karma to Burn (drums), vocalist and guitarist Brent Malkus, and his ex-Kyuss bandmates. Recorded in 1997, the material was shelved for three years due to Oliveri's full-time commitment to Queens of the Stone Age. Several of the songs were performed live by Queens of the Stone Age, building up hype before the eventual release of the album. Three of the album's ten tracks ("13th Floor", "Simple Exploding Man", & "Cocaine Rodeo") feature former members of Kyuss, Josh Homme, Brant Bjork, and Oliveri. This impromptu Kyuss reunion was made possible by Oliveri, who invited each member separately to the studio without any knowledge of who they were playing with. "Simple Exploding Man" features all four original Kyuss members, including vocalist John Garcia, and longtime Kyuss pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mondo Generator
Mondo Generator (sometimes known as Nick Oliveri and the Mondo Generator) is an American rock band founded in 1997 by Nick Oliveri. History Formation and ''Cocaine Rodeo'' (1997–2002) Nick Oliveri (under the moniker ''Rex Everything'') formed Mondo Generator in 1997. The name of the band originated when Brant Bjork spray-painted the words on the side of Oliveri's Sunn amplifier. Mondo means "world" in Italian. The Oliveri-penned Kyuss song appearing on the 1992 album ''Blues for the Red Sun'' also took its name from this event, and the amplifier itself appears in the artwork for the album. With friends Josh Homme, Brant Bjork, Rob Oswald, and Karl Doyle among others, the band recorded their debut album, ''Cocaine Rodeo'', the same year. The album wouldn't be released until 3 years later due to Oliveri and Homme being full-time members of Queens of the Stone Age. The album was released by cult-favorite Southern Lord Records in 2000. There was little support of the album by t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Want (NJ Band)
The Want was an American stoner/ blues rock band from Union, New Jersey. History The Want put out two albums in the 90s but are best remembered for their "greatest hits" compilation on Southern Lord Records released in 2000. They draw heavily from 70s influences (Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath are usually noted) and have been criticized for being too loyal to their roots. The Want released their debut album, ''5 O'Clock Orange'', in 1996 on Mack-Daddy Records. A follow-up, ''Acid Millennium'', was released the following year. In 2000 Southern Lord Records released a compilation of songs from the first two albums with the misleading title ''Greatest Hits Vol. 5''.
