Yawning Man Live at Maximum Fest Available to Preorder
It’s a pretty different incarnation of Yawning Man on their upcoming Live at Maximum Fest than you can see below in the full-set video from earlier this year in the Netherlands. When the live album was recorded in 2013, Yawning Man were still playing with the classic trio lineup that featured on their last studio outing, 2010’s Nomadic Pursuits (review here), the three-piece of guitarist Gary Arce, bassist Mario Lalli (also Fatso Jetson) and drummer Alfredo Hernandez (also ex-Kyuss/Queens of the Stone Age) something of a supergroup unto themselves.
Among the progenitors of what we today call desert rock, Yawning Man‘s lineup is pretty fluid at this point, but Hernandez seems to be out, at least for the time being. Bill Stinson, Billy Cordell, Herb Lienau and I don’t know who else — Mario‘s son, Dino von Lalli, sits in on bass in the video below for the opening “Catamaran” — have been involved in the conjuration of new material, but I haven’t heard anything solid in a couple years as regards the band’s next full-length. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, only that I don’t know the status of the thing.
So in the meantime, a release like Live at Maximum Fest is a bonus in more than a holdover sense. Even Yawning Man‘s split with Fatso Jetson was a couple years back by now, so anything new is really a win, as is the recent news that they’ll headline the Borderland Fuzz Fiesta next February along with Dead Meadow. The live record should be newly arrived by then. Preorders are up now if you’re so inclined. Art, info and links follow:
