Desert Age Documentary 10th Anniversary Re-Release: See Photos of Kyuss, Black Flag, and More

The documentary Desert Age: A Rock and Roll Scene History is set to be re-released on November 20th, marking its 10th anniversary. The special screening and Q&A will take place in Palm Springs, California, on November 7th. Originally funded through an IndieGogo campaign, the film features performance footage and interviews with artists such as Josh Homme, Dave Grohl, Kyuss, and Queens of the Stone Age.

For the anniversary edition, new material has been added, focusing on Black Flag's historic 1981 Palm Springs show, complete with fresh audio and photographs not previously seen. Director Jason Georgiades has provided an exclusive sneak peek, showcasing a collection of photos featuring Black Flag, Kyuss, and other musicians from the documentary.

Georgiades' grandmother passed away the same evening as he spoke with Gary Arce, the lead guitarist of Yawning Man, about making a documentary about the California desert rock scene. Despite the emotional difficulty, Georgiades remains proud of the journey and the friendships formed along the way. The 10th anniversary special edition will premiere at Festival Theaters in Palm Springs, followed by a Q&A session hosted by Natasha Berenek, including appearances by Mario Lalli, Brant Bjork, Sean Wheeler, Sophia Possidon, Georgiades, and producer Trevar Cushing. The re-release will be available online starting November 20th through Jgeorgiades.com.
