The Desert Sessions began in August 1997 at the Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree when Josh Homme brought together musicians from the bands Monster Magnet, Goatsnake, Kyuss (his own band, which had split in 1995), Soundgarden and PJ Harvey. The ranch was an old house filled to the brim with rare and unique recording equipment that was owned by Dave Catching and the late Fred Drake. Songs were written and recorded “on the spot” in matters of hours.
