The Metal Gods of riffs and smoke have smiled on the world and bestowed a new champion of Psychedelic Rock Music to the people. Mario Lalli and The Rubber Snake Charmers (ex-Yawning Man, Kyuss, Stoner) have formed a Stoner Rock supergroup and will release their debut release Folklore From The Other Desert Cities. It will release on the venerable Heavy Psych Sounds label on March 19th, 2024! This is desert rock at its finest, along with the hypnotic poetry of Sean Wheeler! Watch the video for the debut single “Other Desert Cities” here at Ghost Cult! 

The band has commented:

“Other Desert Cities is Sean Wheeler’s poem of his childhood in Palm Springs, abstract memories of growing up in the desert, the unique characters  and endless days of boredom in a small desert town set the scene for crazy daydreams and the search for fun. Set to the improvisations of this band of fellow desert dwellers.”

Bio:

New super-band featuring desert rock legends Mario Lalli, Brant Bjork, Sean Wheeler and Ryan Güt !!!

The first release from this band of pioneering Desert rock musicians captures the band and its purest form exercising the desert born ethic and approach of rock improvisation, psychedelic and flowing, heavy and explorative.

The foundation of Mario Lalli’s grooving heavy bass lines and meditative themes with a intuitive guitar work with Brant Bjork and percussion of Ryan Güt set the scene for Sean Wheeler’s poems and songs capturing the dark and beautiful stories and images of life in the Mojave desert of Southern California.

This is a representation of desert rock in its purest form. A very special live performance in Gold Coast Australia.
