Artist Biography
Available in:
Unida (/juːˈniːdə/) is an American stoner rock band, originally formed in 1998 by John Garcia of Kyuss and Slo Burn.

Following the dissolution of Kyuss in 1995, former vocalist John Garcia became part of Slo Burn. Garcia already knew future Unida members Arthur Seay and Miguel (Mike) Cancino, considering them "exceptional" musicians and song writers; therefore, after the end of Slo Burn in 1998, he reached out to them to start a band. Garcia later reflected that "I really wanted to jam with them and I knew that they could play and it was basically as simple as that." The band's original lineup consisted of Garcia (vocals), Seay (guitar), Cancino (drums) and Dave Dinsmore (bass).

The band's name of Unida (/juːˈniːdə/), which is Spanish for "united" was chosen to reflect the band member's surroundings. Garcia explained "being that half of the band is Hispanic and we’re from Southern California, it was very fitting – there’s a camaraderie in the desert amongst musicians that continues still to this day."

The band split up in 2003, but has been active again since 2012.

To coincide with the anniversary of their first two releases, Unida reformed again in 2022, for a European tour, including Desertfest in Antwerp. This new lineup would be the first not to feature Garcia on vocals (with the role instead going to Mark Sunshine from Riotgod) and the first to feature Collyn McCoy (from the Ultra Electric Mega Galactic) on bass. An official statement by the band stated that "John will not be singing but gives us his blessing, he is not out of the band either lol."
