Desert Rock pioneers Yawning Man will finally make a soaring flight to
our shores for a long-awaited tour of Australia and New Zealand in
January 2020.
Forming in 1986, Yawning Man have released 7 studio albums and 5 split
LPs/EPs.The latest releases, "The Revolt Against Tired Noises" &
"Macedonian Lines", won over critics from the desert plains to across
the oceans. This is not just due to the fact that Brant Bjork once
said that "Yawning Man is the sickest band of all time", or "They're
the greatest band I've ever seen". Without the band and their
commitment to the initiation of the first ever Generator Parties back
in the 80s and 90s, Kyuss, QOTSA, Somali Yacht Club and Garcia’s
many projects (including Sloburn and Unida) would not exist without
this revolutionary band.
The trio, featuring Mario Lalli (Bass), Gary Arce (Guitar/Vocals) and
now Bill Stinson (Drums), have crafted one of the most unique blends
of Psychedelic, Post and Desert Rock, which can only be described in
human language as YAWNING MAN.
The sound of Yawning Man stems from the Earth’s soul. While Gaia
sends out signals to our spiritual ancestors and elders, the sound of
the instruments gradually gather all of us in the moment, and the
hypnotic mantras naturally enable the spread of love with the
instruments of life we have.
Reviews of "Macedonian Lines":
“It's probably hard work to sound this effortless. Or maybe it's the
payoff from years of hard work completed. Like on "Melancholic Sade",
the bass lines are almost halting, yet they never interrupt the flow,
as if teasingly testing what unusual shapes can be twisted into
looking like elegant curves.”Owen - Echoes and Dust
“As they ascend to their rightful place in the forefront of Desert
Rock consciousness, their ongoing progression seems bound to inspire
yet another generation of players.J J Koczan - The Obelisk
