Inspired by Pink Floyd’s Live at Pompeii 1972 concert documentary film, LIVE IN THE MOJAVE DESERT: VOLUMES 1-5 kicked off their bi-weekly streams on January 23 which has so far included performances from San Diego-based krautrock trio EARTHLESS and stoner rock outfit NEBULA which includes ex-Fu Manchu member Eddie Glass. Additional volumes will feature heavy psychedelic rock trio MOUNTAIN TAMER (March 6) and STONER (March 20)—the new project from ex-Kyuss members Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri.

During the stream, viewers will experience an hour of performance footage–filmed and recorded throughout day and night from the natural amphitheater of California’s Mojave Desert—along with a virtual pre-show hangout session with band members discussing their favorite concert films and sharing psychedelic video clips and other trippy footage. Think MTV in the 80’s but with stoners and heshers!

Here’s what some critics are saying about LIVE IN THE MOJAVE DESERT: VOLUME 1-5 experiences so far:

“The difference, of course, is the professional, concert-film level at which ‘Live in the Mojave Desert’ is executed. On a sheer production level, it’s unmatched by anything I’ve seen in the streaming era, and in the use of visual effects, Sam Grant‘s skillful, rhythmic editing, the inclusion of Mad Alchemy and the sense of urgency that’s driving the whole project, it is a rare positive marker for this time that has disintegrated the live music experience and perhaps changed it permanently.”
– The Obelisk, 2/8/21, Nebula Stream review

“The on-paper proposition doesn’t really do justice to actually seeing nighttime desert rocks painted with light while Earthless tear a hole in the galaxy as only they seem able to do…this series of five streams that Earthless kicked off is more than just a show to watch for would-be real-life attendees. Sitting in my living room on a cold January afternoon, it was pure sonic escapism…the fact of the matter is that even if gigs were happening, the Live in the Mojave Desert series would be something incredible to witness.”
– My Rock News, 1/25/21, Earthless Stream Review

“Be under no false impression, this is a musical experience like no other. From the early portions of the stream that has interviews, discussions about the difficulties of filming in the Mojave Desert and music from a wide array of stoner, doom and psych bands. Often with trippy visuals as the backdrop to get you in that psychedelic mood.”
– GBHBL, 1/28/21, Earthless Stream review

San Diego-based heavy psych rock trio EARTHLESS this Saturday, January 23 will launch VOLUME 1 of five livestream concert film experiences that are part of the LIVE IN THE MOJAVE DESERT: VOL.1-5. The stream will include over an hour of performance footage filmed and recorded throughout day and night from the natural amphitheater of California’s Mojave Desert backed by a visual performance from the Mad Alchemy Liquid Light Show.

This psychedelic rock’n’roll happening will also include a virtual ‘fly-on-the-wall’ hangout session with EARTHLESS and personalities from the California Desert Rock scene as they discuss their favorite concert films and share some of their favorite video clips and other trippy footage. Tickets are available now which allow replay access to the entire stream for 48 hours beginning on the 21st at 12:00 P.M. PT (3:00 P.M. ET) at this link: https://www.tixr.com/groups/cdwa/events/cdwa-records-presents-live-in-the-mojave-desert-20473.

Watch a video trailer below featuring four minutes of performance footage of EARTHLESS’ 21-minute-long song “Sonic Prayer” below.

“Having the opportunity to set up out in the desert and play how we do was one of the best experiences ever actually,” says EARTHLESS drummer Mario Rubalcaba. “Adding to it the Mad Alchemy liquid lights and the surroundings made for a very satisfying day/night of jamming. Thankful for the label preserving the night by filming and recording this. I hope people can enjoy the release as much as we did doing it.”

Inspired by Pink Floyd’s Live at Pompeii 1972 concert documentary film, the LIVE IN THE MOJAVE DESERT: VOLUMES 1-5 series will air bi-weekly with additional volumes including NEBULA (February 6), SPIRIT MOTHER (February 20), MOUNTAIN TAMER (March 6) and STONER (March 20)—the new project from ex-Kyuss members Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri.

“In October 2020 we filmed and recorded five bands in four days, deep in the deep sand and iconic rocks of the desert,” shares LIVE IN THE MOJAVE DESERT producer RYAN JONES. “It was a major undertaking to bring this many people and this much gear out to a very remote desert location. Including the bands, we had 25 people onsite daily. With only one road in, everyone and all the gear had to come up a half mile long hill of deep sand–30 miles from nowhere. We had to hire local desert guys with huge 4×4 pickups to help. The Mad Alchemy Liquid Light Show projected on a four-story high, double pyramid of boulders and we had a crack squad of filmmakers, photographers and recording engineers there to capture it all. It was insane, but it was worth it to see our favorite bands play again!”

Tickets are on-sale now for each individual stream or bundled as a series pass with the option to add-on a limited Edition ‘Desert Lizard’ event poster featuring artwork by John Howard (QOTSA, Primus, Melvins) as seen below.

About EARTHLESS:

The San Diego-based krautrock trio EARTHLESS feature the talents of Nebula guitarist Isaiah Mitchell, Electric Nazarene bass player Mike Eginton and Hot Snakes/Clikitat Ikatowi drummer Mario Rubalcaba (who also played with Rocket from the Crypt under the alias Ruby Mars). The band’s debut, a collection of jam-heavy instrumentals titled Sonic Prayer, was released on the Gravity label in 2005. It was followed in 2007 by Rhythms From A Cosmic Sky which marked the band’s first release for Tee Pee Records. Live at Roadburn appeared the following year showcasing the band’s strength as a live act. From The Ages, the band’s third studio long-player, arrived in 2013 with a pair of concert albums, Live at Freak Valley and Live at Tym Guitars in Brisbane, Australia, arriving in 2015. The following year saw the trio release a split LP with fellow West Coast psych-rockers Harsh Toke, and in 2018 they issued their fourth full-length outing Black Heaven.

“CDWA once again commits to the ultimate Rock n Roll experience for the fans and the bands regardless of what might stand in the way,” says STONER’s BRANT BJORK (Kyuss, Fu Manchu). “Covid literally shut down live performance around the world… what do you do? You use your imagination, and you go all in. Congrats to CDWA and all the bands and crew involved in this Rock n Roll response of light in this year of concert stage darkness.”

“I think that California Desert Wizards Association is doing a great thing and a new thing under the circumstances of COVID-19, because what I do for a living stopped cold, dead in its tracks,” adds STONER’s NICK OLIVERI (Kyuss, Queens of The Stone Age). “I feel the powers that be are trying to stop and kill music or live music and I believe Doctah Jones is doing a great thing by keeping it alive. We need more people like him coming forward. Let me add, what a cool original idea—a live stream while releasing a live record. For a collector like myself this is a great thing! Big cigars and cold beers to CDWA records. RnR will never die.”
