AllMusic[1]

Cocaine Rodeo is the debut studio album by American rock band Mondo Generator, released through Southern Lord Records on 18 July 2000. It was compiled of material recorded by vocalist/bassist Nick Oliveri with drummer Rob Oswald, vocalist/guitarist Brent Malkus, and his ex-Kyuss bandmates Josh Homme, Brant Bjork and John Garcia. Recorded in 1997, the material was shelved for three years due to disinterest from the band to release it and Oliveri's full-time commitment to Queens of the Stone Age.[2]

In 2009, Cocaine Rodeo was re-issued with a bonus disk titled Alive & Wired featuring live material recorded in 2003 and 2004. In 2020, Cocaine Rodeo was re-released by Oliveri's current label Heavy Psych Sounds Records as part of its 20th anniversary.[3]
