Garcia Plays Kyuss is a tour curated by John Garcia in 2010. Comprising of multiple European tours throughout the year, the tour would see Garcia performing Kyuss songs with Belgian guitarist Bruno Fevery and Dutch musicians Jacques de Haard and Rob Snijders. Several of the dates on the Summer leg of the tour would see Brant Bjork as direct support. Notably the band's performance at Hellfest, which saw 3/4 of Kyuss performing together, would lead to the formation of Kyuss Lives!.
History[]
After a couple years away from performing live music, in late 2009 it would be announced that John Garcia would be touring under the moniker Garcia Plays Kyuss (Or GPK as it's also abbreviated as.). The first announced date would be at Roadburn Festival on 16 April 2010[1], followed by an announced European tour from 28 May to 11 June.[2] Garcia would recruit guitarist Bruno Fevery (Arsenal) along with bassist Jacques de Haard and drummer Rob Snijders, formerly of Celestial Season and at the time playing in Agua de Annique.).[3] The tour would culminate in an appearance at Hellfest, which featured Nick Oliveri and Brant Bjork performing onstage with Garcia, reuniting 3/4 of the original Kyuss lineup.[4] Oliveri and Bjork would guest on several dates of the Garcia Plays Kyuss tour. Ben Ward (Orange Goblin) would guest at the Roadburn Festival performance.[5] Notably Garcia was working on a solo album at the time entitled Garcia Vs. Garcia, but ultimately it would be put aside for other projects (Though an eponymous solo album would see release in 2014.).
Garcia Plays Kyuss would continue touring Europe that July, including festival appearances at Stoned From The Underground, Rockwave and Pukkelpop before a short string of shows in October, the last date with this tour at Westend Indoor Festival on 30 and 31 October.[6][7] Behind the scenes Garcia, Oliveri and Bjork were in talks on expanding on the sporadic "reunion" and on 2 November 2010, officially announced Kyuss Lives!, announcing a string of European dates in March and April.[8] The lineup for Kyuss Lives! would comprise of Garcia, Oliveri, Bjork and Bruno Fevery.
