It was very drugged, very stone-y, it was very mystical. It was very casual and loose and everybody would like, while they’re playing, everyone would just lounge around. Sometimes it would be a scene sometimes it would be very intimate. And they’d show up in their van and just, mellow, drag out their shit and set up right about the time the sun was goin’ down, set up the generators, sometimes they’d just go up there and drink beers and barbecue. You’d just be up there in the desert, everybody’d just be hanging, partying. “Yawning Man was the sickest desert band of all time. When Hernandez played in Kyuss on their last album '.And the Circus Leaves Town' they even recorded a cover of Yawning Man's song "Catamaran". Their music heavily influenced the likes of John Garcia, Josh Homme, and Brant Bjork (who would later form the legendary stoner rock band Kyuss) to name only a few. The word spread of these 'generator parties', and all kinds of people would show up. At this time, the band started to play marathon jams from the garage to the desert. Yawning Man was born in 1986, originally founded by members Gary Arce, Alfredo Hernández, Mario Lalli, and Larry Lalli. They have been noted to be one of the first influential bands in the desert rock scene. The band originally formed in 1986, although they released no studio recordings until 2005. Yawning Man is an American experimental rock band from La Quinta, California.
