With Mondo Generator, Trieste’s own TSO and Slovenian instrumentalists Jegulja in this second announcement, 2023’s StonerKras Fest embodies what seems to be the core mission of the festival in bringing together higher-profile touring acts — recall the first band unveiled was Greece’s 1000mods — with those local to the event’s locale near the Italy/Slovenia border. Trying to make something happen, to spread the word about a regional scene and support its bands while benefiting as well from providing a stop on European tours where otherwise there probably wouldn’t be one.

It’s an all-dayer, and last year’s inaugural edition had six bands, so it seems reasonable to think there’s at least one more announcement coming ahead of July,

STONERKRAS – 15.07.2023 – Prosek-Prosecco (Trieste, ITA)

!!! THREE MORE BANDS ANNOUNCED !!!

*** MONDO GENERATOR ***

– stoner punk legends from California –

Mondo Generator was formed in 1997 by Queens of the Stone Age bassist/singer Nick Oliveri. Initially intended as a solo/side project, the classic “Cocaine Rodeo” album was recorded that same year, but shelved until the Southern Lord label released it and its unique brand of criminal insanity to widespread acclaim and horror in the summer of 2000. The follow-up, “A Drug Problem That Never Existed,” was released jointly in the Summer of 2003 by Ipecac/Rekords Rekords to further critical acclaim. A worldwide tour followed that was chronicled on video for the DVD release “Use Once and Destroy Me”.

In 2004, Mondo Generator recorded and released “III The EP.” Oliveri began a solo acoustic career shortly after, which would see two full releases, “Demolition Day”, and 2010’s “Death Acoustic.” In 2006, Mondo Generator released “Dead Planet: SonicSlowMotionTrails” on English label Mother Tongue. It would be released worldwide the following year on Suburban Noize Records. In late 2010, Mondo Generator would be put on a back-burner as Oliveri rejoined Kyuss, re-branded as Kyuss Lives! (and now Vista Chino), which also featured John Garcia, Brant Bjork, and new guitarist Bruno Fevery. In summer 2012, the new Mondo Generator album, “Hell Comes To Your Heart,” was released by Mondo Media/Cobraside.

The band has come back with a new lineup (Nick Oliveri with Mike Pygmie on guitars and Michael Amster on drums), a brand new album FUCK IT and a bunch of represses via Heavy Psych Sounds !!!

*** TSO ***

– alternative rock from Trieste –

Founded by Abbrescia brothers in 2013 in Trieste, with two albums and a bunch of tours, TSO are working on their third record.

Catchy tunes, heavy riffs, some oddities and underground wizardry.

One of the best bands in town!

*** JEGULJA ***

– instrumental stoner metal from Slovenia –

Jegulja is a psychedelic stoner/metal trio with seventh drummer.

Jegulja has completed its second album Exit Sandman in 2020. The first Darkest Light album was [released in 2017].

Jegulja is Rok ‘Boogie’ Henigman on drums, Jure Gašper – baritone guitar and Jan Kozel – Fender Stratocaster.
