In 2025, the trio heads to New Zealand for three exclusive shows celebrating their latest album, Once Upon a Time in the Desert. This is a rare chance to catch a true icon of desert rock live—an experience not to be missed.
Brant Bjork has spent over a quarter of a century at the heart of California’s desert rock scene. From cutting his teeth as the drummer and songwriter for Kyuss’s legendary early albums to carrying the torch for fuzz-driven rock with Fu Manchu from 1994 to 2001, Bjork’s impact is undeniable.
In 2024, Bjork re-formed the Brant Bjork Trio, teaming up with Michael Amster (Nebula, Mondo Generator) on drums and longtime friend—and desert rock pioneer—Mario Lalli on bass.
Joining them on all three dates are Australian rockers Full Tone Generator. Born on the beaches of Australia by Andy Fernando and brought to life in the Californian desert, Full Tone Generator brings the heat with a powerful blend of riff-heavy rock and raw energy.
