VISTA CHINO Sign With Napalm Records
Thursday, 23rd May 2013
VISTA CHINO, the group, comprised of two founding members of the legendary rock band KYUSS — Brant Bjork and John Garcia — and guitarist Bruno Fevery, has inked a deal with Napalm Records. The band’s debut is scheduled for an early fall release.
The final live appearances of KYUSS LIVES! — featuring the same lineup as VISTA CHINO — took place in early 2013 as part of Australia’s Soundwave Festival.
KYUSS LIVES! decided to change its name after a lawsuit launched by former KYUSS members Josh Homme and Scott Reeder prevented KYUSS LIVES! from recording and releasing any new material.
Commented Garcia: “KYUSS LIVES! is now VISTA CHINO!…it feels great just to write that….and to say it out loud, feels even better. Now that our relationship with Napalm Records is official; it’s time to forget about the past year, move forward, and execute our original plan, which was to make kick-ass music and tour the world!
Added Bjork: “We look forward to working with Napalm Records and we anticipate great support in rolling out the VISTA CHINO rock.”
Thomas Caser, Head Of A&R at Napalm Records, commented on the signing: “It’s with great pride we announce the signing of VISTA CHINO. After all the band has been through they are ready to rock! We at Napalm Records are thrilled to work with such talented artists and look forward to a long-lasting cooperation!”
“Dargona, Dragona,” the first song from the band’s highly anticipated first full-length album, is available for streaming at this location.
VISTA CHINO’s first North American performance will take place at this year’s Orion Music + More festival — curated by METALLICA — in Detroit, Michigan. VISTA CHINO will play on Sunday, June 9 on the “Frantic Stage.” A full North American tour will be announced shortly.
