Vista Chino was an American rock band formed in 2010 by vocalist John Garcia, drummer Brant Bjork and bassist Nick Oliveri, all previously members of Kyuss, along with guitarist Bruno Fevery.
The band formed under the name Kyuss Lives! as a short-lived venture touring the music of the original Kyuss, with a lineup excluding Josh Homme.[3] In 2012, the band announced plans to continue touring indefinitely and begin work on a studio album using the Kyuss Lives! moniker. However, a lawsuit by Homme and former Kyuss bassist Scott Reeder prohibited the use of the name for recordings, prompting the band to rename themselves Vista Chino. After a tour and one album, Peace, Vista Chino broke up in 2014 when Garcia and Bjork supported solo releases.
