KYUSS LIVES! played a very special homecoming show on November 18 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. The group performed an extended two-and-a-half-hour set, featuring songs spanning its entire career. The gig featured original KYUSS vocalist John Garcia, drummer Brant Bjork, bassist Nick Oliveri plus former KYUSS bassist Scott Reeder as a "special guest."

Reeder played bass on KYUSS' classic LPs "Welcome to Sky Valley" and "...And the Circus Leaves Town" and was also a member of doom legends THE OBSESSED.

KYUSS LIVES!' setlist was as follows:

01. Gardenia
02. Hurricane
03. One Inch Man
04. Thumb
05. Freedom Run

A review is available at LAWeekly.com.

Regarding why KYUSS guitarist and founding member Josh Homme is not involved in the reunion, Garcia told Rock Sound, "I have nothing bad to say about Josh — he's extremely intelligent, very smart, a great guitar player, great songwriter, a great vocalist — he is a bad-ass, there is no question, and I love him dearly but he is busy with his own thing. He has THEM CROOKED VULTURES, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, he's a father, a businessman and even if we asked him to do it, I don't think he'd say yes, so I don't want to set myself up for a big fat no which is 99.9 percent what he would say."

KYUSS LIVES! recently revealed that it will record a new studio album following the band's current tour.
