If there were a Mount Rushmore of desert rock, Brant Bjork's head would certainly be carved high on the rock, and with Brant Bjork Trio, the founding father offers a feel-good throwback to the glory days of the genre. 

Support act from Swiss power rock trio Dirty Sound Magnet promises an unpredictable show full of rock star charisma, poetic vocals, and captivating dynamics – a must-see for fans of creative, boundary-pushing rock.

Brant Bjork has spent over a quarter-century at the epicenter of Californian desert rock. A founding member and composer in the heavily influential desert band Kyuss as well as propelling the seminal fuzz of Fu Manchu from 1994-2001.

Over the last 30 years embarking on his solo career as a singer, guitarist, composer and bandleader, founding his own record labels (DUNA, LOW DESERT PUNK) and more, his history is a winding narrative of relentless, unflinching creativity.

In 2025 the band is the lean and mean Brant Bjork Trio featuring Mike Amster on drums and old friend and longtime collaborator, desert rock pioneer Mario Lalli (Fatso Jetson, Yawning Man, Desert Sessions) on bass guitar.

The debut release by the Brant Bjork Trio “Once upon a time in the desert” is the first title to be offered by the relaunch of Bjork’s own record label DUNA RECORDS, and received widespread praise. The full album was released on September 20, 2024. 

Two trio's bringing guitar wizardry, one from Switzerland, the other from the birthplace of the dessert rock scene, to set Club Wintercircus ablaze.

Dirty Sound Magnet is a psychedelic rock power trio from Switzerland that has been taking the music world by storm since 2017.

The band, consisting of Stavros Dzodzos (guitar, vocals), Marco Mottolini (bass), and Maxime Cosandey (drums), is known for their hypnotic live performances featuring shamanic stage presence and instrumental virtuosity. Their current album Dreaming in Dystopia (2023) continues their musical evolution, which began with albums like Western Lies (2017) and DSM-III (2022).
