On June 28, 1994, a little-known band called Kyuss gave a warm welcome to adventurous music listeners with their third studio album, 'Welcome To Sky Valley'.
Only a few years earlier, Josh Homme (guitar), John Garcia (vocals), Brant Bjork (drums) and Nick Oliveri (bass) had lived the lifestyle their music was to stand for: Beer-drinking, pot-smoking, garage-band-founding teenagers trying to keep boredom at bay in the sparsely populated desert of lower California, about 100 miles east of Los Angeles.
'Welcome to Sky Valley' is THE initial spark for the stoner rock scene of the 90s, an absolute essential album.
