Impedance and
MVD Audio have set an October 6, 2009 North American release date for
Nick Oliveri's
"Death Acoustic".
You may know him as the long-haired bass player on the early
KYUSS albums or as the mysterious
Rex Everything in
THE DWARVES. Others will know him as one of the creative partners behind
QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and more recently the screaming front man of
MONDO GENERATOR. He is, of course,
Nick Oliveri... a man that should need no introduction to rock fans across the world.
Starting his musical career as a teenager with some friends from Palm Desert, California,
Oliveri played bass and wrote a number of songs on the first two albums of desert rock pioneers
KYUSS. The band would go on to establish them as a cult band worldwide and ensure high interest in all the members' future projects.
One of those projects became
Oliveri's most successful commercial venture; it was, of course,
QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE. Alongside song writing partner
Josh Homme,
Oliveri played on and co-wrote the bands two most critically acclaimed and successful albums,
"Rated R" and
"Songs For The Deaf".
After a split with the band in 2004, he focused his energies on his own band
MONDO GENERATOR, while also being a part time member of
THE DWARVES and playing bass in the very occasional band
MOISTBOYZ alongside members of
WEEN and
BUTTHOLE SURFERS. Soon enough, he will also be a featured guest on the forthcoming solo album of
Slash.
Throughout his career delivering audiences wild and loud rock shows with the aforementioned bands,
Oliveri has found time to play intimate, solo acoustic shows. Just him and his guitar, blending songs he has written for the bands he has played in, specifically written songs for the solo shows, and well chosen covers. In this format he has further showcased what a great songwriter and musician he is.
"Death Acoustic" is the result of these efforts;
Oliveri spent the last twelve months in his home studio recording tracks for his solo album. In October it is unleashed with touring to back it up across the world over the last few months of this year and into next year.
