The Desert Sessions

The Desert Sessions started in August, 1997 when Homme first gathered musicians from Soundgarden, Monster Magnet, Kyuss, Goatsnake and earthlings? to record at Rancho de la Luna, a unique studio-home run by Fred Drake and Dave Catching in the high desert town of Joshua Tree. Since then, even as Queens of the Stone Age have built a rabid fanbase worldwide and, with the release of last year’s justly celebrated Songs For the Deaf, ascended from cult favorite to gold-record status in America, Homme has continued holding Desert Sessions and releasing the finished songs through various independent record labels.
