Yawning Man 'Live At Giant Rock' (30.10 - Heavy Psych Sounds)

Following their performance in the Mojave desert, Palm Springs instrumental rock titans YAWNING MAN will release their 'Live At Giant Rock' album and DVD this October 30th on Heavy Psych Sounds!

This unique concert experience was intimately and beautifully captured in the environment that inspires Yawning Man’s spacious, expansive and cinematic music. 'Live At Giant Rock' was filmed live in the early morning hours of May 18th, 2020 in the stunning and mysterious landscape of Giant Rock — a place that has attracted Native American nomads, scientists, UFO researchers and travelers from all over the world for its magnetic spiritual energy.

Dive deep into 'Live At Giant Rock' below. After you've emerged from that sonic dream, I will be happy to hear about your coverage plans, and why not arrange a phoner with either Mario Lalli or Gary Arce

Formed in the late 1980's, the lineup of Gary Arce, Mario Lalli, and Bill Stinson rounds out their yearlong active recording and touring schedule. Arce and Lalli’s background together date back to the start of YAWNING MAN with Stinson’s background steeped in the SST Records world through performing and recording with Greg Ginn and Chuck Dukowski of Black Flag for several years. Yawning Man is acknowledged and recognized throughout the underground heavy music community as a key piece in the developments of the desert/stoner rock subgenres. While their contemporaries gravitated toward the heavy riffs of grunge, and post punk, Yawning Man leaned in another direction with their unique and organic, cinematic compositions and psychedelic improvisations...the perfect soundtrack to encompass the spacious moonscape atmosphere of the well documented "generator parties" of their area in the late 1980's. It was at these gatherings where they developed this distinctive style and sound by enchanting spectators with their seemingly endless free form instrumental sessions, which echoed through the beautiful deserts, mesas, and landscapes of the Coachella Valley.
