Brant Bjork
Brant Bjork (born March 19, 1973) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer from Palm Desert, California. He is perhaps best known as the drummer and founder of the influential Californian stoner rock band Kyuss. Bjork played in Vista Chino, along with former Kyuss vocalist John Garcia. Until October 2014 when Nick Oliveri announced that there was a falling out and that Bjork and Garcia would continue working on their solo projects. He is one of the more notable figures in the stoner rock and Palm Desert scenes.
Musical career
Kyuss
While still in high school, Bjork got together with friends Josh Homme and John Garcia in 1987 to form a band called Katzenjammer. At Bjork's prompting, the band would soon be renamed Sons of Kyuss for a single EP, named after "The Sons of Kyuss" monsters in the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, and then later shortened to Kyuss. The band relocated to Los Angeles in 1990 and signed to Chameleon Records, releasing their debut album, Wretch in September 1991. They were then picked up by the major label Elektra Records, becoming the first desert rock band to achieve international success. Bjork was a major creative force in Kyuss, contributing a substantial portion of the band's songwriting. In 1994, Bjork left the band following the release of Welcome to Sky Valley, frustrated at guitarist Homme's growing reluctance to play the songs he was contributing to the band.

by: Brant BjorkWell I'm gettin' up when the sun goes down
And I shine 'em up and I hit the town
Well I trim it clean and I roll it up
And then I take it nice and slow... so what the fuck man
So just give me the time and I'll get you right, you'll just have to push your luck tonight
A shot of Sauz to pull me through, and I'll fly my magic carpet on over to you baby
I'm gonna let the stars show me the way
I'm gonna drop in on your palace... and I'm gonna be your slave
Cuz I live it up in Bermuda Dunes
And I stain the sand of hits land with all the blood that I lose
A little sugar gonna set me free
But you got some spice... and that's what I need
