It is my hope that by the time this post reaches your eyes — tomorrow morning or early afternoon to me, stuck in the past — you’ve not only already seen this video already, but it’s entirety superfluous because you’re not only aware of how righteous it is, you’ve already secured your access to Nebula‘s ‘Live in the Mojave Desert’ stream, the second in the series of five being put on by producer Ryan Jones (also of the Stoned and Dusted fest), which airs this Saturday.

If you missed it, the first installment in the series featured Earthless (review here), and I’m not shitting you when I say it was such stuff as dreams are made of. And if you can think of a better follow-up to have shredding fuzz in the desert night than Nebula (among bands who actually exist), then cheers, you’re one up on me. Door prizes include spending 12 years of your life blogging imaginary conversations with no one. Good luck.

Like the Earthless stream, there will be two hours of programming. First hour, interviews, all very super-casual and Californian. Second hour, you get to watch Nebula kill it in hi def. If you were to actually go to a show and see Nebula, as I did in Sept. 2019 (review here), it still would not be the same as this experience, not only because it’s clearer than you’re seeing any night Nebula are playing, but also because of the Mad Alchemy crew lighting up the desert night, the pro-shop audio mix and master, and the fucking drones buzzing around taking video from above.

Look. If we’ve ever been friends, I’m telling you, this series is something special. And I know they’re putting out vinyl and videos and whatever after the fact through Heavy Psych Sounds, and I’m sure as hell not going to say don’t buy it — because, yeah, do — but this is the kind of thing that if you’re not on board for it as it’s happening, you stand a good chance of regretting that later. That’s all I’ve got.

Here’s Nebula doing “Let’s Get Lost”:

Nebula, “Let’s Get Lost” from Live in the Mojave Desert Vol. 2

LIVE IN THE MOJAVE DESERT is a livestream concert film series created in the California wilderness, with performances from Earthless, Nebula, Spirit Mother, Mountain Tamer, and STONER (a new band by Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri).

Each film will be presented in a world-premiere, 1080p HD livestream event hosted by the California Desert Wizards, the bands, and your favorite rock heroes of the California Desert Rock scene. It’s gonna be a party so get ready for rad music, good times, and other far out content.

Each event will last two hours which will include an hour long “Couchlock and Rock” session featuring a chat hosted by the California Desert Wizards alongside special guests including band members and icons from the California Desert Rock scene—think if MTV in the 80’s was run by heshers and stoners. The second hour will feature the 1080p HD livestream concert film experience. The band lineup includes:

EARTHLESS – Saturday, January 23
NEBULA – Saturday, February 6
SPIRIT MOTHER – Saturday, February 20
MOUNTAIN TAMER – Saturday, March 6
STONER (the new project from Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri)– Saturday, March 20
