Palm Desert, CA based Psychedelic/Desert Rock band Fatso Jetson to release new album “Legends of the Desert: Volume 3 Fatso Jetson & Dali’s Llama” on March 24, 2023 via Desert Records.
Our third volume of “Legends Of The Desert” features two old school veterans of Desert Rock, Fatso Jetson and Dali’s Llama. After kicking off the first two volumes with new bands, it was due time to work with veterans of the Desert Rock scene!
If you’re familiar with the Palm Desert/Coachella Valley Desert Rock scene, then you’ve heard of Kyuss, Yawning Man, Fu Manchu. But what about the other pioneers who have members that are credited with being a part of the original SoCal Desert Rock/Punk scene in the 1980s?!
Fatso Jetson is an American Desert Rock band from Palm Desert, California, formed in 1994 by Yawning Man and The Sort of Quartet members Mario Lalli and Larry Lalli, along with Tony Tornay, and Dino Von Lalli (son of Mario). Fatso Jetson have remained an active force in underground Rock for almost 25 years. They are often credited as originators of the Desert strain of Stoner Rock made most famous by their younger neighbors Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age. While musically similar to some of their stoner brethren, Fatso Jetson incorporates a variety of musical influences that includes Punk, Art Rock, Blues and Psychedelic Hard Rock.
Dali’s Llama is a Desert Rock band from the Palm Springs/Palm Desert area of Southern California. Dali’s Llama was formed in 1993 and released their first album that same year. The band, started by the husband and wife team of Zach and Erica Huskey, have remained the only two original members from the beginning. Zach is the guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter, and Erica is the bass player. Dali’s Llama has released 15 albums so far. Their music is in five films, including being featured in the Desert Rock documentary “Lo Sound Desert.” They have performed and/or toured throughout the southwestern United States, including the “Stoner Hands of Doom” and “Doom In June” fests.
The artwork is done by artist Joshua Mathus of Phoenix, AZ. He is commissioned to do all the album artwork (front and back covers) for the entire series!
