Kimono Kult: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez & John Frusciante Start a New Band

by | Jan 14, 2014

When we did that interview with Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, it was right around the time Bosnian Rainbows started going full force.

As you know, the former Mars Volta guitarist doesn’t stay in one place for too long. He recently started a new project with former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante — they’re called Kimono Kult.

You know who else is in the band? Rodriguez-Lopez’ partner in crime Teri Gender Bender.  You know her from Bosnian Rainbows and Le Butcherettes (remember that interview?).
