Palm Desert Scene is a band and related musician from Palm Desert, California. Their hard rock voices - often depicted as rock desert - contain elements of psychedelia, blues, heavy metal, hardcore punk, alternative rock, and other genres, often featuring distinctive repetitive drum beats, jamming, and "trance-like" or "sludgy" grooves.
The musicians involved often played in several bands simultaneously, and there was a high level of collaboration between bands. The Palm Desert Scene is also famous for fostering the pioneer of Kyuss stoner rock. The term "stoner rock" is sometimes used interchangeably with the term "desert rock". However, not all Palm Desert scene bands are "stoner rock" and not all rock stoner bands sound exactly like those in Palm Desert.
Palm Desert has been named by Blender magazine as "one of the top seven rock n 'roll cities in America".

History
The scene evolved from a variety of jam-driven instrumental jam sessions in Palm Desert (especially Yawning Man) in the desert. It is mostly known for heavy riffs and grinding and association with the use of illicit substances, especially marijuana, peyote, LSD, and magic mushrooms. This jam session definitely contains some psychedelic rock influence. Perhaps due to the proximity of the location to the Mexican-speaking and Spanish communities, there is a significant influence of Latin music on the very clear Palm Desert rock with El Miradors. Because of some of its roots as a small bar band, many Palm Desert bands have a strong blues element in their music as well.
The Palm Desert band builds large local followers by performing frequently in bars and parties in and around remote towns in the Southern California desert region. The Kyuss band, in particular, performs at desert parties known as "party generators". These events consisted of a small crowd of people, drinking beer, drugs, and use of gasoline-powered generators to provide electricity for musical equipment. Kyuss and Queens members of the Stone Age Josh Homme commented that playing in the desert "is a form factor for [Kyuss]", noting that "there are no clubs here, so you can only play for free.If people do not like you, they will tell you.You can not suck. "
The Palm Desert Scene gets good and warm reviews at the world's most famous Local Coachella Music Fest in the nearby Indio.

The Desert Sessions
One of the projects in this scene is Desert Session, where Josh Homme invites a group of musicians, mostly from the Palm Desert scene, to Rancho De La Luna, a studio in the desert, where they write, practice and record some 10 songs in one week time. The songs were recorded and then never played again by the same lineup, although a number of Desert Session songs have been covered in the album by Queens Of The Stone Age and became part of the QOTSA live repertoire. The Desert Session series has now produced 10 volumes, which have been released in pairs on the CD but individually in the 10 "vinyl EP format.Although this series is commonly associated with Palm Desert Scenes, not all artists in the scene have participated, and there have been artists others to contribute to obvious projects not from the scene, such as John McBain of Red Bank, New Jersey Monster Magnet, Dean Ween of Ween Pennsylvania and PJ Harvey of England.
