Mondo Generator started in 1997, before frontman Nick Oliveri joined Queens Of The Stone Age. After hooking up with former Kyuss guitarist Josh Homme to form QOTSA, he put Mondo on ice until 2000, when Southern Lord released their debut album, 'Cocaine Rodeo'. With it's sludgy Black Flag-esque riffs it was superb slice of underground rock and roll. Mondo Generator went back into hibernation until 2002 when Nick resurrected the band, with former Kyuss and Fu Manchu drummer Brant Bjork, QOTSA guitarist Dave Catching and with Earthlings bassist Molly Maguire. In 2003 Mondo Generator released it's second album 'A Drug Problem That Never Existed' on Mike Patton's (former Faith No More frontman) Ipecac Recordings.
