Josh Homme (Queens of The Stone Age) - the complete interview:
In 2011 Josh Homme contributed to my feature documentary LO SOUND DESERT, a film about the Californian desert rock scene, with this in-depth interview.
"LO SOUND DESERT" is a documentary about the Californian desert music scene.
What was started by revolting punk rock kids, hidden from narrow-minded authorities of the sub-urban desert communities in the early 80s, gave birth to bands like Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age. From jamming all night in the middle of a surreal desert landscape to headlining European stages - “Desert Rock” continued its underground spread and became international treasure.
The film was released in 2016.
With the same punk rock attitude and artistic DIY approach it captures the vibe of the 90s 'Coachella Valley's' music scene and leaves the narration to the main protagonists themselves: Josh Homme, Mario Lalli, Brant Bjork, Alfredo Hernandez, Scott Reeder and many more from bands like Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, Yawning Man, Fatso Jetson (etc.).
