Ex-QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE Bassist OLIVERI Revs Up With MONDO GENERATOR

July 12, 2006

Greg Prato of Billboard.com is reporting that former QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE bassist Nick Oliveri has teamed up with several friends for his latest MONDO GENERATOR release, "Dead Planet: SonicSlowMotionTrails". In addition to some pals from his Palm Desert, Calif., hometown, British duo WINNEBAGO DEAL (guitarist Ben Perrier and drummer Ben Thomas) appear on several tracks.

Oliveri met the band on the road, and during an off day, WINNEBAGO DEAL joined him on stage. Soon after, WINNEBAGO DEAL had become part of the latest ever-rotating cast of MONDO GENERATOR.

"We were on tour with MOTÖRHEAD and wanted to make a record," Oliveri tells Billboard.com. "I kind of brought them out here. We went to [Dave Grohl's] Studio 606 and recorded some stuff — we got in and got out quick. Then I had some more songs come about after they left, so I recorded some other stuff at another studio, with other people as well. [But] my favorite stuff is the stuff that they're on."
