Masters of Reality is a rock band named after the album “Master of Reality” by Black Sabbath formed in 1981 by guitarist, producer and singer Chris Goss and Tim Harrington in Syracuse, New York. The band is now part of the “Palm Desert Scene”, which includes Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age and many other or (as they prefer to call it) bands.

After its first incarnation - which consisted of Chris Goss, Tim Harrington, Vinnie Ludovico and Googe - broke apart in 1989, the band developed into a band with alternating lineups. Masters of Reality resurfaced making headlines when former Cream drumming-legend Ginger Baker joined the band on their second album Sunrise on the Sufferbus which was recorded in 1992. Although the band landed a Top 10 chart hit with the single “She Got Me (When She Got Her Dress On)” Baker left the band only one year later. Victor Indrizzo, at that time drummer for Circus of Power, was asked to join and fill the vacant spot and agreed.

Goss’ connection to Queens of the Stone Age resulted from producing Kyuss albums and in the collaborative CD Deep in the Hole in 2001, and two years later, in the release of the subsequent live album Flak ‘n’ Flight.

Since their formation, Masters of Reality has made very different kinds of music, ranging from Stoner metal over progressive art rock to Beatlesque pop music.

    They formed in my hometown, Syracuse, NY, in 1981. By the mid-eighties they were huge locally and their shows at a popular area venue, the Lost Horizon, were a must-see. A friend and myself met Chris Goss and Tim Harrington at their apartment to do a free-lance article for a local publication and they were as cordial as could be and hung-out and partied with us following the interview. Here's video of the original band lineup in 1986 at The Lost (Chris-vocals / Tim-guitar / Googe-bass / Mr. Owl-keyboards): http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3AF2F07BB379351D

    The continued application of stoner rock to this band is so incorrect... Not that I'm trying to detract from that genre, but MOR really isn't part of it. [2]
