Unida is an American stoner rock band that was formed after the dissolution of Kyuss and Slo Burn. The band originally consisted of John Garcia (vocals), Arthur Seay (guitar), Dave Dinsmore (bass) and Mike Cancino (drums). Dinsmore was later replaced by Scott Reeder.
In 1999, the band appeared on a split CD release with Swedish band Dozer. The Unida portion was titled
The Best of Wayne-Gro EP. Later that year, they released their debut full length album entitled
Coping with the Urban Coyote on the now defunct Man's Ruin Records.
Relations with their next record company, American Recordings, ended with legal problems. Their second album,
The Great Divide, was originally scheduled for release in 2001 but is now in limbo. The album has surfaced on the internet in bootleg form.
Since the delay, John Garcia has released two studio albums and one live album with Hermano and is working with them on a third. In 2004, Unida appeared on the High Times Records'
High Volume: The Stoner Rock Collection, contributing the track
Left Us To Mold. Garcia is also working on a solo album.
[1]Unida's song "Black Woman" was featured on the soundtrack to the skateboarding video game
Tony Hawk's Underground.
