Dorian Lynskey, Guardian, The, 25 March 2011
"I DIDN'T THINK THAT at 40 years of age I would still be talking about generator parties," Kyuss frontman John Garcia says with a puzzled sigh. "It's weird that people are actually interested. It was just a party. We've all been to parties." This much is true, but then we haven't all been to parties that spawned whole musical genres, forging an alliance between sound and place that retains a mythic glow 20 years later.
