LO SOUND DESERT
Two chapters on desert rock music
Lo Sound Desert is a documentary about the music scene in the Californian low desert.
What was started out of boredom by revolting punk rock kids, hidden from narrow-minded authorities of sub-urban desert communities in the early 80s, gave birth to bands like Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age.
With an artistic approach the film provides a deep, intimate insight and captures the attitude of the Coachella Valley’s music scene – from jamming all night in the middle of a surreal desert landscape to headlining European stages, – desert rock continued its underground spread and became international treasure.
Lo Sound Desert is narrated by musicians from bands such as Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, Yawning Man, Dali’s Llama, Mondo Generator among others.

PRESS / REVIEWS
“Simply the best documentary on the Californian music scene that has ever been made, in fact a strong contender for one of the best music documentaries ever.“ Elinor Day (POWERPLAY Magazin)
“This love letter documentary is absolutely worth every minute of the wait and may just be as definite a look at the subject as it gets.” Jason Hicks (METAL HAMMER)
“I almost felt like a voyeur in places while watching this, and I think that says it all regarding the quality of Steineck’s movie. This is the ultimate film about California’s unique desert rock scene.” J.Nepper (Eternal Terror)
“This is perhaps the most important film of the Desert / Stoner Rock scene. If people need educating on how the scene evolved – they should watch this film.” Steve Howe (Outlaws Of The Sun)
