Lo Sound Desert is a documentary about the Californian Desert music scene which gave birth to bands like Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age. What was started by revolting punk rock kids throwing parties in the middle of the desert – hidden from narrow-minded authorities of suburban America in the early 80s, became a movement over the years.
The film provides a deep, intimate look into the Low Desert music scene’s history with never-ending jams in the middle of the desert which continues to live on with the same vitality, authenticity and resilience as two decades ago. Lo Sound Desert is narrated by Josh Homme, Brant Bjork, Mario Lalli and many other from bands like Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, Yawning Man, Fatso Jetson, Mondo Generator, Dali’s Llama, Hornss, Slo Burn, Unida and Fu Manchu.
