There are multiple artists named Altamont. 1. Altamont was formed in 1994 by Dale Crover, longtime drummer for the Melvins. Dale started the band with his friends from Acid King, Dan Southwick on bass, and Joey Osbourne on drums. After they did "the Monkee's Uncle" in 2005 they added engineer/producer Toshi Kasai (Big Business, Deaf Nephews) on guitar and keyboards. Altamont has released three albums on the now defunct Man’s Ruin label: 'Wanted Dead or Alive' (a split record with Acid King), 'Civil War Fantasy' and 'Our Darling'.
