the Kyuss name. Nick Oliveri left Kyuss later that month, stating managerial issues and was replaced by Billy Cordell. Bjork spoke to Rolling Stone magazine about the bitterness which has developed between Homme and his former Kyuss bandmates: In August 2012, Judge S. James Otero of the United States District Court Central District of California ruled partly in Homme's favor, declaring that Garcia and Bjork could not release audio recordings under the Kyuss Lives! moniker and encouraging them re-brand under a new name.

In August 2013, singer John Garcia said that Vista Chino "is a three-piece band with [himself], Brant [Bjork, drummer] and Bruno [Fevery, guitarist]. It always will be." but also described Oliveri as "an honorary band member". Peace (2013–present) On May 23, 2013, it was announced that Vista Chino had signed with Napalm Records. That same day a new song, "Dargona Dragona," was posted on the band's SoundCloud page. Their debut album, Peace, was released on September 3, 2013. Guest appearances included Mike Dean on "As You
