Alfredo Hernández
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alfredo Hernández is an American drummer best known as a member of desert rock bands Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age.
[edit] Career
He joined Kyuss in late 1994/early 1995, replacing previous drummer Brant Bjork who had left during the band's tour due to personal problems. Hernández only appeared on the bands final studio album ...And the Circus Leaves Town and Kyuss soon went on indefinite hiatus in October 1995. Hernandez subsequently drummed on Queens of the Stone Age's self-titled debut record released in 1998, and in 2004 for the recording of an EP and a brief tour with former Queens of the Stone Age bassist Nick Oliveri's band, Mondo Generator.
Hernández was a founding member and drummer of Yawning Man, and later teamed up with fellow ex-Kyuss drummer Brant Bjork and Dave Dinsmore to form Che. The 2000 album Sounds of Liberation was the only material which the band recorded and after a small tour of live shows the band disbanded, with Hernández joining Orquesta del Desierto. Hernández's main band is the desert's hardcore "Family Butcher" although he is also a studio drummer for hire, currently playing with Vic Du Monte's Persona Non Grata.[1]
