American rock band formed in 1987 in Palm Desert, California. They are widely regarded as one of the pioneering bands of stoner rock, helping shape the heavy, fuzz-driven sound that would influence generations of alternative and desert rock musicians.….Originally formed under the name Katzenjammer, the band later became Sons of Kyuss before shortening their name to Kyuss. The classic lineup consisted of vocalist John Garcia, guitarist Josh Homme, bassist Nick Oliveri and drummer Brant Bjork.
