Fatso Jetson is an American desert rock band from Palm Desert, California, formed in 1994 by Yawning Man members Mario Lalli and Larry Lalli, along with Tony Tornay ( Solarfeast, Deep Dark Robot). They are often credited as the fathers of the desert strain of stoner rock later made most famous by their slightly younger neighbours Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age. While sometimes musically similar to the heavy riffing rock of their stoner brethren, Fatso Jetson incorporate a broad variety of musical influences that includes jazz, experimental pop, blues, punk and surf.
