Instrumental figures in the Southern California desert rock scene, Kyuss are notable not only for helping to lay the blueprint for what would later be known as stoner rock--playing a slightly funkier, more traditionally psychedelic version of the style--but also as the band that would spawn both Queens of the Stone Age and the Eagles of Death Metal. Founding members of the aforementioned bands, Nick Oliveri and Josh Homme, spent their formative years in Kyuss, as did drummer Brant Bjork, making Kyuss one of the most important hard-rock bands of the 1990s.
