John and Peter’s Presents: Brant Bjork

Posted on by admin

Brant Bjork (born March 19, 1973) hails from Palm Desert, CA, where he began gigging at the age of 13. By high school Brant had begun Kyuss with locals Josh Homme, Chris Cockrell (later Nick Oliveri) and John Garcia (2). In 1993, Brant left Kyuss and moved to Humboldt to flip pizzas and play soccer. Too much rain moved him back to his natural habitat where he started an independent record label, El Camino Records (3) which then evolved in Duna Records (now defunct) and then in Low Desert Punk Records; played drums in hardcore punk band De-Con; and played guitar with desert legend Mario Lalli in Fatso Jetson. In 1996, Bjork hooked up again with Homme, to begin The Desert Sessions saga and work on what became Queens Of The Stone Age. However, Brant decided to take the road less traveled and rock with his surf buddies Fu Manchu, an adventure which took him into the studio for five records and around the world in four years. After few solo albums in the 00’s he joined a resurrected version of Kyuss under the new monicker Kyuss Lives! (without Josh Homme). Kyuss Lives! then changed name in Vista Chino and released an album before going to hiatus. In 2014 Brant formed a new band Brant Bjork And The Low Desert Punk Band. In 2016 he released a new album, Tao Of The Devil under his name only. Since 2018 he has released several solo albums on Italian label Heavy Psych Sounds which also re-released most of his solo output that previously came out on Duna Records and Low Desert Punk Records. Since 2020 he formed band Stöner (13) with long time friend Nick Oliveri and drummer Ryan Güt which so far have put out a new record every year. A new album by Stöner (13), Boogie to Baja, is due on February 2023.

A singer-songwriter known for his lyrical acumen and plaintive harmonica style, Joe Pug dropped out of college and moved to Chicago where he worked as a carpenter before breaking into the city’s music scene. Since 2008 he has released a string of critically-acclaimed albums and toured heavily in the U.S. and abroad. Paste Magazine wrote of his music: “Unless your surname is Dylan, Waits, Ritter or Prine, you could face-palm yourself to death trying to pen songs half as inspired.”

 

He has toured with Steve Earle, Levon Helm, The Killers, Justin Townes Earle, Sturgill Simpson, and many others. He has appeared at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and The Newport Folk Festival. His music has appeared on NPR’s “Prairie Home Companion” and “Mountain Stage”.

Brendan Daly- Guitar/ Vocals

Mr. Shredtublay was born somewhere far beyond in the cosmos…
After a lifetime of guitar funk mastery, he is now a proper six string slinger. Who knows what he has in store…

Bass / Vocals

Meet Sam “The Spaceman” Morth, the man who fell from the stars and landed with a bang right here on Earth (on a fence, no less). Once cruising the galaxy in his interstellar vessel, The Cosmik Debris, The Spaceman’s life took a wild turn when he tumbled through the stars and crash-landed on our blue planet. Now, he’s trading space travel for funky beats, spinning epic bass jams with a style that’s out of this world.

The Spaceman’s music is a cosmic cocktail of funky rhythms, celestial melodies, and interstellar vibes with a touch of earthly groove. His tunes are a testament to the infinite creativity of the universe. So, if you hear a bassline that sounds like it’s been beamed from another dimension, chances are, you’ve just tuned into one of The Spaceman’s funky astral jams.

Kevin Walsh – Drums 

Was born on the distant planet Funklandia, the mythical land of funk drummers.  At an early age, he was taught the sacred knowledge of space funk drumming by master YodaFunk. Upon hearing the lame music being produced by modern Earthlings, he was sent by the Galactic Funk Federation to save planet Earth through the power of groove.  Ninja McGroovenstein is now on a collective mission with Outerspace Boogie Band to bring back the funk with groovy beats and killer riffs.
