Ex-QOTSA Bassist Releasing Solo Album

Ex-Queens Of The Stone Age bassist Nick Oliveri will release his solo debut, Death Acoustic, on Oct. 6 through Impedance.

Oliveri, who's spent his career playing quiet, acoustic shows alongside his gigs with louder bands like QOTSA, Kyuss, The Dwarves and Mondo Generator, spent a year recording the album at home. It features a cover of GG Allin's "Outlaw Scumfuc" and nine other tracks.

The man with a penchant for on-stage nudity began his career playing rhythm guitar and bass with Kyuss. He was an original member of the band when they were first called Katzenjammer and rejoined the group from 1991 to 1992.

He joined The Dwarves after he left Kyuss and is an "on again/off again" member of the band under the name Rex Everything.

Oliveri and Kyuss' Josh Homme formed Queens Of The Stone Age in 1997 and Oliveri played with them until he was fired from the band in 2005.

He currently plays with Mondo Generator and has also toured and appeared with former Kyuss drummer Brant Bjork, Motorhead, Mark Lanegan and Turbonegro, among others.

You can see Oliveri with Mondo Generator on Sept. 12 at San Francisco's Bender's Bar.
