MASTERS OF REALITY

In the organizer's words:

The mastermind of the band, guitarist, singer and songwriter Chris Goss is best known as the producer of Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, Soulwax, Mondo Generator, UNKLE, Stone Temple Pilots and the "Desert Sessions" - a cult stoner rock album. Just last year, Goss produced the album "John Garcia & The Band Of Gold", named after his project, for former Kyuss singer John Carcia. His own band Masters Of Reality is a mystery.
As one of the founders of desert/stoner rock and with a band name that refers to a Black Sabbath album, they have released 6 studio albums since 1988, but continued to operate somewhat under the radar.

With the album "Deep In The Hole", they made a name for themselves with their mixture of bluesy stoner rock and great guitar riffs and solos. On the subsequent European tour, Chris Goss and drummer John Leamy were accompanied by Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and Nick Oliveri (Mondo Generator). Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees/Queens of the Stone Age) and Dave Catching (Eagles of Death Metal) were also once part of Masters of Reality and, as the icing on the cake, legendary Cream drummer Ginger Baker recorded an album with the band.

Fans of Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age who are curious about the origins of the (desert) rock sound know where to go on April 15.

"The best hard rock band around today. Period."

"The band is poised beautifully between guitar thuggery of vintage Black Sabbath and the harmonies of the Beatles"
