Legendary Californian Stoner Rock trio NEBULA are coming back to Australia and New Zealand in support of their new album “HOLY SHIT”!

Their last Australian tour, 20 years ago in 2000, saw sold out shows right across the country, with the need to upgrade to bigger venues in Sydney and Melbourne.

Featuring Rock n Roll stalwart Eddie Glass (Ex-Fu Manchu), NEBULA have released 5 albums and 5 EPs (including one EP with Sweden’s “Lowrider”) since their inception in 1997.

For the past few years, these “Rock n Roll Maniacs” have been punishing stages across the USA and Europe, alongside bands such as Sasquatch, Weedeater, Brant Bjork and Fatso Jetson. They have also hit some of the most world’s most renowned music festivals in the past 12 months, including Freak Valley Festival, Desertfest (London and Berlin) and Stoned & Dusted.

With rave reviews of this latest offering, released through Heavy Psych Sounds, the return of these Californian riff hounds was clearly in demand. The genre bending songs that make up this outstanding stoner rock/metal masterpiece is a testament to their maturity and carefully crafted riffery, which has seen them reach a new level; not only for NEBULA themselves, but for the whole stoner rock community.

Joining the Rock n Roll party bus will be Sydney’s legendary fuzz rock outfit ARROWHEAD, who will be joining NEBULA on the eastern dates of the Australian tour. They will be playing in Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, Canberra, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Arrowhead (signed to Ripple Music) are no stranger to the worldwide scene of Stoner Rock, with three albums and one EP up their sleeve, plus a tonne of 10/10 album and live reviews from credible sources all around the globe.

Desert Rock pioneers Yawning Man (Official) will finally make a soaring flight to our shores for a long-awaited tour of Australia and New Zealand in January 2020.

Forming in 1986, Yawning Man have released 7 studio albums and 5 split LPs/EPs.
The latest releases, “The Revolt Against Tired Noises” & “Macedonian Lines”, won over critics from the desert plains to across the oceans. This is not just due to the fact that Brant Bjork once said that “Yawning Man is the sickest band of all time”, or “They’re the greatest band I’ve ever seen”. Without the band and their commitment to the initiation of the first ever Generator Parties back in the 80s and 90s, Kyuss, QOTSA, Somali Yacht Club and Garcia’s many projects (including Sloburn and Unida) would not exist without this revolutionary band.

The trio, featuring Mario Lalli (Bass), Gary Arce (Guitar/Vocals) and now Bill Stinson (Drums), have crafted one of the most unique blends of Psychedelic, Post and Desert Rock, which can only be described in human language as YAWNING MAN.

The sound of Yawning Man stems from the Earth’s soul. While Gaia sends out signals to our spiritual ancestors and elders, the sound of the instruments gradually gather all of us in the moment, and the hypnotic mantras naturally enable the spread of love with the instruments of life we have.

Reviews of “Macedonian Lines”:

“It’s probably hard work to sound this effortless. Or maybe it’s the payoff from years of hard work completed. Like on “Melancholic Sade”, the bass lines are almost halting, yet they never interrupt the flow, as if teasingly testing what unusual shapes can be twisted into looking like elegant curves.”
Owen – Echoes and Dust

“As they ascend to their rightful place in the forefront of Desert Rock consciousness, their ongoing progression seems bound to inspire yet another generation of players.
J J Koczan – The Obelisk

Joining these Desert Rock Masters is Australian Psychedelic Prog Rockers Numidia, who will support YAWNING MAN for the East Coast of Australia.

New blood to the Psych/Prog Scene, NUMIDIA write beautifully crafted songs taking influence from Middle Eastern Psychedelic Rock, African Blues and American Folk, collaborating as a six-piece revolution of unity and love in music.
