LOW DESERT PUNK

Brant Bjork has played in Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Mondo Generator, Che, De-Con, L.A.B., Brant Bjork and the Bros, and Brant Bjork and the Operators.

Brant Bjork is from Palm Desert, California, where he began gigging at the age of 13. By high school Brant had begun Kyuss with locals Josh Homme, Chris Cockrell, (later Nick Oliveri) and John Garcia. Kyuss was signed to Elektra and became the first desert rock band to achieve international success by spearheading a musical movement that brought heavy and psychedelic sounds back to rock and roll and served as a prototype for all "desert/stoner rock". In 1993, Brant left Kyuss and moved to Humboldt to flip pizzas and play soccer. Too much rain moved him back to his natural habitat where he started an independent record label, EL CAMINO (now DUNA RECORDS); played drums in hardcore punk band De-Con; and played guitar with desert legend Mario Lalli in Fatso Jetson. In 1996, Bjork hooked up again with Homme, to begin the DESERT SESSIONS saga and work on what became Queens Of The Stone Age. However, Brant decided to rock with his surf buddies Fu Manchu, an adventure which took him into the studio for five records and around the world in four years.

Since playing in Fu Manchu, Brant has form several solo projects. Currently, he plays guitar and sings in Brant Bjork and the Bros. Brant Bjork and The Bros have toured for much of the past 3 years all over Europe, The States, Canada, and Australia. BB & the Bros live shows are fast becoming recognized as the best live rock and roll going.
