I’m very excited to be able to head this article with such a mindblowing title. A monsterous kickstart for our new series “Stillman dialogues”!

Last month we witnessed a very rare show in which Kyuss frontman John Garcia teamed up with the upcoming stonerformation Komatsu. On Speedfest the young stonerband from Eindhoven Rock-City took the opportunity to baptize their new EP, which features a cover of “July” from John Garcia’s former band Slo-burn. Garcia himself decided to join Komatsu on stage and relive the past by singing his old song “July”.

Komatsu started their journey to fortune and fame only 3 years ago, but they are already on the verge of breaking through to a bigger audience. Sharing the stage as a Dutch underground band with the “God of Stoner”, how did they make this dream coming true? We asked bass player Martijn Mansvelders and drummer Miriam Bekkers right after the show.

Check out the full song of Garcia and Komatsu, recorded by Koen de Gussum.
