Ché was an American stoner rock band founded by former Kyuss drummers Brant Bjork and Alfredo Hernández, and former Unida bassist Dave Dinsmore. Ché released their only album, Sounds of Liberation, in 2000.
Overview
[edit]Though best known at the time of the album's release as a drummer, Ché featured Bjork as the band's vocalist and guitarist. Another of Bjork's bands, Brant Bjork and the Bros, covered many of Ché's songs during their live performances, with Alfredo Hernández making occasional guest appearances with the band.
According to Bjork, he had been friends with Hernández and Dinsmore for years; they began playing together in the late 1990s after Hernández left Queens of the Stone Age.[2]
