Nick Oliveri (Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age) finally brings The Mondo Generator to Australia.

He's played with some of the biggest names in the business, Brant Bjork, Motörhead, Winnebago Deal, Masters of Reality, The Dwarves, Mark Lanegan and Turbonegro, Nick has relegated all this to the side for the Mondo Generator. What was once a side project for him is now his main focus, "my misstress has become my wife" he's commented.

Mondo means world, I'm guessing; what generates the world

Knowing Nick, a Mondo Generator is probably something you plug yourself into after an 8 day bender in order to get the body functioning again. This has even more significance when you look at the rough Icelandic translation of the word Mondo is in fact  chemicals.*

* May not be true

 i was always thought mondo generator to be a big pumping machine, interestinly just like mondo generators music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pump!!!!!!!!!!

Similar to a spondo generator, which is someone who you obtain spondos from. Mmm spondos...

As the name was coined by Kyuss in the late 90's its likely to be a throwback to the late 80s.
