A documentary about the DIY music scene in the low desert of California, started out of boredom by revolting punk rock kids.

‘Lo Sound Desert’ is a documentary about the DIY music scene in the low desert of California. 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. The film provides an intimate insight into 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 an international treasure. ‘Lo Sound Desert’ is narrated by Josh Homme, Mario Lalli, Brant Bjork, Alfredo Hernandez, Scott Reeder, Sean Wheeler and many more from bands such as Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, Yawning Man, Fatso Jetson, Dali’s Llama, Mondo Generator.

Mae ‘Lo Sound Desert’ yn ffilm dogfen am y sîn cerddorol DIY yn yr anialwch isel o Galiffornia. Beth wnaeth ddechrau all o ddiflasrwydd gan blant gwrthryfela Roc Pync, wedi’i chuddio o awdurdodau cul ei feddwl o gymunedau ymyl-drefol yr anialwch yn yr 80au cynnar, esgorwyd artistiaid fel Kyuss a Queens of the Stone Age. Mae’r ffilm yn darparu cipolwg personol i mewn i’r agwedd y sin cerddorol Dyffryn Coachella - o jamio trwy’r nos yng nghanol tirweddau’r anialwch swreal i berfformio fel prif act ar lwyfannau yn Ewrop - mae roc yr anialwch yn parhau i ledaenu a bod yn drysor rhyngwladol. Adroddwyd ‘Lo Sound Desert’ gan Josh Homme, Mario Lalli, Brant Bjork, Alfredo Hernandez, Scott Reeder, Sean Wheeler a llawer mwy o fandiau fel Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Yawning Man, Fatso Jetson, Dali’s Llama, Mondo Generator.
