So Just Who the Hell is in Garcia Plays Kyuss Anyway?
Of course, we all know that Kyuss vocalist John Garcia (also of Hermano, Slo Burn, Unida, and so on) is doing a set at Roadburn 2010 of his 
legendary band’s classic songs. And short of a full Kyuss reunion, that’s about as nifty as it’s gonna get. Thing is, when they announced that Garcia would be doing this, the rest of the band was never revealed.
Blah, blah, blah, speculation later, it turns out that joining Garcia for what has now been dubbed Garcia Plays Kyuss (GPK) are a few European rock types seemingly plucked from obscurity. I’m willing to wager the number of people who immediately recognize the name Jacques de Haard is relatively low, but he and drummer Rob Snijders were once in Dutch rockers Celestial Season, and are currently the rhythm section of Agua de Annique. See, don’t you feel a little better?
Guitarist Bruno Fevery, on the other hand (why do these all sound like porno names?) comes from the Belgian band Arsenal, who as near as I can tell are a kind of synth pop/electronica act. A bit more mysterious, but needless to say the pressure’s on all these dudes, Garcia included. Even more so, because now they’re taking Garcia Plays Kyuss on the road. Here are the tour dates:
