LO SOUND DESERT, the music documentary about the Californian Desertmusic scene, which gave birth to bands like Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Queens Of The Stone Age and more, will finally be released worldwide this summer on July 1st via Monoduo Films. A decade in the making by filmmaker Jörg Steineck (Truckfighters), LO SOUND DESERT is the definite music documentary about desert rock.


What was started by revolting punk rock kids throwing parties in the middle of the desert – hidden from narrow-minded authorities of suburban America in the early 80s, became a movement
over the years.
“If my opinion matters, this film is very authentic” Brant Bjork (Kyuss)
“Outstanding! One of the rare rock documentaries that will survive” Mario Lalli (Fatso
Jetson)
From endless jams in unconditioned rehearsal garages to wasteland venues to smoked-up European backstage rooms: ‘Desert Rock’, a specific vibe of pure analog rock music, was fostered by the beauty of a surrounding that naturally provides a lot of space. Until nowadays it continued its slow-moving underground spread and became international treasure. In a way Desert Rock never reached extreme popularity like simultaneously grown, commercially hyped Grunge Rock in the early 90’s. But it still seems to be around and inspires new generations of rock bands to carry on.
A release party in Berlin will be held on June 24th 2016 at Kino Zukunft, presented by Rock/Squad, SOL, DesertFest, RockHard, Visions and Monduo Films. LO SOUND DESERT will screen at 8pm, followed by concerts of Powder for Pigeons, Vic Du Monte’s Persona Non Grata, Operators, Jan Schwarzkamp, Dj Eggs Delicious and more to be announced.
