Brant Bjork Trio return to Australia and NZ this September to promote the release of their first album in the current Trio format, "Once Upon a Time in the Desert". With long time collaborator Mario Lalli (Yawning Man, Fatso Jetson) on the Bass the band creates a fluid heavy groove that shows why they are collectively known as the forefathers of Desert Rock. Brant Bjork has spent over a quarter-century at the epicenter of Californian desert rock. A founding member and composer in the heavily influential desert band Kyuss as well as propelling the seminal fuzz of Fu Manchu from 1994-2001. Over the last 30 years embarking on his solo career as a singer, guitarist, composer and bandleader, founding his own record labels (DUNA, LOW DESERT PUNK) and more, his history is a winding narrative of relentless, unflinching creativity.
