Band formed in 1997 by Queens of the Stone Age bassist/singer Nick Oliveri.

It was initially intended as a solo/side project. The classic Cocaine Rodeo album was recorded that same year, but shelved until the Southern Lord label released it. The follow-up, A Drug Problem That Never Existed, was released jointly in the Summer of 2003 by Ipecac/Rekords Rekords. A worldwide tour followed and was chronicled on video for the DVD release Use Once and Destroy Me.

In 2004, they recorded and released III The EP. Oliveri began a solo acoustic career shortly after. In 2006, they released Dead Planet: SonicSlowMotionTrails on English label Mother Tongue. It would be released worldwide the following year on Suburban Noize Records. In late 2010, they were put on a back-burner as Oliveri rejoined Kyuss Lives!. In summer 2012, they released a new album, Hell Comes To Your Heart, which was released by Mondo Media/Cobraside.

In 2020 they released two new albums on the Italian label Heavy Psych Sounds; the first named Fuck It, the second Shooters Bible, which apparently was recorded in 2010 and never released.
