Mondo Generator (sometimes known as “Nick Oliveri And The Mondo Generator”) is an American punk/hard rock band fronted by Nick Oliveri.
Nick Oliveri (under the moniker Rex Everything) formed Mondo Generator in 1997 and with friends Josh Homme, Brant Bjork, Rob Oswald, and others, recorded the debut album, Cocaine Rodeo. The LP wouldn’t be released until 3 years later due to Oliveri and Homme being full-time members of Queens of the Stone Age. The album was released by Southern Lord Records in 2000. There was little support of the album by the way of live shows, and the band gained cult status among the most devoted Queens of the Stone Age fans.
In 2003, the band again emerged with a new LP, A Drug Problem That Never Existed. This time, Oliveri hired on more friends for recording duties including Dave Catching, Troy Van Leeuwen, Josh Homme, Brant Bjork, and Molly McGuire, and Dwarves frontman Blag Dahlia for co-producing duties. It was released jointly by Mike Patton’s label, Ipecac Recordings, and Homme’s Rekords Rekords. The live band, which included Oliveri, Catching, Bjork, and McGuire, went on a three month tour of North America and Europe to support the disc.
In early 2004, after Oliveri was fired from Queens of the Stone Age by Homme, he announced that Mondo Generator would become his full-time project. He recorded an acoustic record, Demolition Day, and toured Europe with Brant Bjork and Mark Lanegan Band. He then recorded an EP with Catching, McGuire, and Alfredo Hernandez.

There were 300 copies... Hand numbered on yellow 7" vinyl. 4 songs, 10 minutes. Two of them had previously been released as acoustic versions, but this EP is all rock, and it's fucking killer. It's available at http://www.no-balls-records.com/ email the guys there, because it isn't like a normal webstore. Maybe it's sold out now... I don't know. They're also releasing a new split LP soon apparently. But yeah, it took me quite a long time to find it - safe to say No Balls aren't really that great at the promotion side of things...
