June 4, 2013, 11 years ago
MASTERS OF REALITY will embark on a European Summer Tour, starting June 8TH. The trek will include stops at the Sweden Rock Festival, Download Festival and dates with QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE. Frontman Chris Goss was most recently a featured musician in DAVE GROHL's all-star lineup band for his historic Sound City 2013 tour which had a set list including some of Grohl's favorite Masters Of Reality songs. The band is currently at work on their as yet untitled new studio album.
Originally signed by Rick Rubin to Def Jam in 1988, Masters Of Reality have toured the world releasing nine critically acclaimed albums, five of them released on Mascot Records. Goss is regarded by many to be the godfather of the California desert rock scene and is a well respected producer known for seminal albums by KYUSS and Queens Of The Stone Age, as well as other acts such as SOUL WAX, UNKLE, THE CULT, and THE DUKE SPIRIT. 2013 started off quite abuzz for Goss, being featured in three current documentaries including the award winning Ginger Baker documentary Beware Of Mr. Baker, the soon to be released Soul Wax documentary, and Dave Grohl's Sound City.
Goss will be joined on the Masters Of Reality tour by longtime collaborator and drummer John Leamy (SURGERY, DR MARS). The live band also includes David Catching (EAGLES OF DEATH METAL, Queens Of The Stone Age, EARTHLINGS?) on guitar, Mathias Schneeberger (GUTTER TWINS, TWILIGHT SINGERS, Earthlings?) on keys, and Paul Powell on bass.
