In addition to being a member of two of the '90s leading stoner rock bands, Kyuss and Fu Manchu, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Brant Bjork issues solo albums, produces others, and runs his own record label. Bjork first became known in the late '80s as the drummer and founder of stalwart West Coast stoner rockers Kyuss. Post-Kyuss, Bjork became a fixture in the Palm Desert rock scene, delivering the decibels via multiple vehicles, including Mondo Generator, Stoner, Fu Manchu, Ch'e, and Vista Chino. In 1999 Bjork released his solo debut, Jalamanta, which retained the gritty, psychedelic aspects of his work with his other projects but also offered a quieter, more reflective sound. He would go on to maintain numerous solo iterations throughout the next two decades, operating under both his own name and as Brant Bjork & the Operators, Brant Bjork & the Bros, Brant Bjork & the Low Desert Punk Band, and the Brant Bjork Trio.
Zephyring, rising stars of the Los Angeles rock scene, are a cross between Foo Fighters and early U2, and their singer was in previous bands with Andrew Wessen (Grouplove), Nathan December (REM, Goo Goo Dolls), George Schwindt (Flogging Molly), and Chris Woltman (Twenty One Pilots manager). With their studio debut on the horizon, Zephyring is poised to stand at the forefront of the next generation of rock music.
Formed in 2024, Lacuna channels the haunting spirit of the American West — a dark, gritty, and cinematic sound led by Rachel Anne Rainwater’s evocative vocals. With legendary skateboard pioneer Tony Alva on bass, professional skateboarder, photographer, and musical icon Ray Barbee on guitar, and Shea Doherty on drums, Lacuna blurs the lines between western roots,
nostalgia, and raw emotion — music made for the drive, headlights on, heart wide open.
