Mondo Generator to Tour for Dog Food

I don’t think I’m breaking any new critical ground when I say that Mondo Generator‘s last full-length, Dead Planet, wasn’t exactly blowing the doors down. Nonetheless, as the figure so critical in bringing any kind of edge to the songwriting of Queens of the Stone Age, to whom I can only hope and imagine he’ll return eventually if not sooner, I have faith in Nick Oliveri to pull a killer record from out his often-seen ass, and I look forward to the Time to Destroy LP that will follow the band’s new single, Dog Food.

The PR wire has the goods on Dog Food, which features Happy Tom (Turbonegro) and Dave Grohl, and some Mondo Generator tour dates. Be friends with it:

    I don’t think that Nick was really a positive influence on QotSA’s sound. I love their Oliveriless self titled, but Rated R and Songs For The Dead never really lived up to that standard, especially the Nick penned tracks Autopilot and Six Shooter. Simple Exploding Man is a great track, but he wrote that what, fifteen years ago?

    PengIn, how old are you?

    Did you ever see QoTsA when that dude was with them?

    I’d be surprised if you did, after reading those comments.

    …to each his own, man…

    …but yer dead wrong.

    Era Vulgaris is pretty much, well…crap.
