Yawning Man
Formed in 1986 under the sun of the Coachella Valley by guitarist Gary Arce, drummer Alfredo Hernandez, bassist Mario Lalli and second guitarist Larry Lalli, YAWNING MAN are considered the very founders of the desert rock movement, which was made popular by bands such as Kyuss or Queens of The Stone Age in the early 90s.
While their contemporaries gravitated toward the heavy riffs of grunge and post-punk, YAWNING MAN leaned in another direction with their unique and organic, cinematic compositions and psychedelic improvisations: the perfect soundtrack to encompass the spacious moonscape atmosphere of the well-documented "generator parties" of their area in the late 1980s. It was at these gatherings that they developed this distinctive style and sound by enchanting spectators with their seemingly endless free-form instrumental sessions, which echoed through the beautiful deserts, mesas, and landscapes of the Coachella Valley.
As time passed, their legend grew, with notable names of the Palm Desert music scene paying homage to the group through mention and praise, notably with legendary desert band Kyuss doing their own rendition of the Yawning Man track "Catamaran" on the 1995 Elektra release "...And The Circus Leaves Town".
Festival appearances include Hellfest (FR), Azkena Fest (ES), Reverence Fest (ES), Desertfest London and Berlin, Up in Smoke (CH), Psycho Las Vegas (US), Stoned & Dusted I & II (US), Monolith on the Mesa (US), and various others. The recent documentaries on the desert's unique music scene, "Lo Sound Desert" and "Desert Age", give light on YAWNING MAN’s influential impact on underground rock music.
Bo Ningen
Bo Ningen (JPN)Från Tokyo via London har kvartetten BO NINGEN (japanska för ”Stick Man”) suddat ut gränserna mellan musik, mode och avantgardistisk konst.Det finns liveband, och så finns det BO NINGEN. Prisade som ”Best Live Act” och hyllade av The Guardian och NME för sina anarkistiska, fysiska och fullkomligt hypnotiska framträdanden. De har samarbetat med Alexander McQueen och Juergen Teller samt ikoner som Nick Cave och Damo Suzuki.
De väver samman noise rock, post-punk och elektroniska influenser till något helt eget – vilket gör dem till en av vår tids mest gränslösa akter.
SoftSun
SoftSun was formed in 2023 by guitarist Gary Arce (Yawning Man) and bassist/vocalist Pia Isaksen (PIA ISA). On their second album they are joined by Robert Garson on drums. The band is experimenting with sounds and is difficult to place in a specific genre. They have a style of their own, with contrasts of softness and distortion, beauty and noise, and emotional peaks and valleys. The music is patient, heavy, and dreamy, with haunting vocals and beautiful guitars drenched in distortion and reverb over patient and thought-out drums. The songs flow slowly and take inspiration from both the Californian desert landscapes and the Norwegian oceans where the two founding members come from. On this second record, SoftSun has developed their sound further and sounds both moody, experimental, beautiful, and raw.
