Brant Bjork has spent over a quarter-century at the epicenter of Californian desert rock. From cutting his teeth drumming and composing on the legendary Kyuss’ landmark early albums, to propelling the seminal fuzz of Fu Manchu from 1994-2001 while producing other bands, putting together offshoot projects, and over the last 20 years embarking on his solo career as a singer, guitarist and bandleader, founding his own record label and more, his history is a winding narrative of relentless, unflinching creativity.
Brant Bjork is a founding pioneer of the Stoner Rock / Desert Rock music scenes.
In 2024 the Brant Bjork Trio featuring old friend and influential desert rock pioneer Mario Lalli (Yawning Man, Fatso Jetson, Desert Sessions) on bass guitar and Brant BJORK band alumni Ryan Güt on drums will release a breakout full length LP on Brant Bjork’s newly relaunched DUNA RECORDS.
The new release titled “Once upon a time in the desert” is the result of a long collaborative friendship between Bjork, Lalli and Güt. The power trio recording the tracks at Donner & Blitzen studios in Southern California with another long time collaborator Mathias Shneeberger. Mathias has recorded and engineered many of the classic desert rock albums over the years.
The music this band creates together is a heavy, fluid groove, organic desert rock & roll. The very
elements of the genre were created by these veteran independent musicians.
