Context paragraphs:
Kyuss: Kyuss ( ) was an American rock band, formed in Palm Desert, California, in 1987 by Josh Homme (guitar), John Garcia (vocals), Brant Bjork (drums) and Chris Cockrell (bass).  After releasing an EP under the name Sons of Kyuss in 1990, the band shortened its name to Kyuss and recruited Nick Oliveri, replacing Cockrell as bassist.  Over the next five years the band released four full-length albums, and one last split EP in 1997 as Kyuss and the newly formed Queens of the Stone Age.  This tied up the loose ends of Kyuss and introduced the new band Queens of the Stone Age, which was initially composed entirely of former Kyuss members.

Gamma Ray (EP): Gamma Ray is the debut EP by Gamma Ray, a musical project by former Kyuss guitarist Josh Homme, released in 1996 by Man's Ruin Records.

Former Kyuss singer John Garcia contributed backing vocals to the track "Born to Hula".  After the release of the EP, Homme received a cease and desist order because the name Gamma Ray was already in use by a German band.  He changed the name of the project to Queens of the Stone Age, and both of the "Gamma Ray" tracks were re-released the following year by Man's Ruin on the "Kyuss / Queens of the Stone Age" split EP, which featured some of the final studio recordings by Kyuss and debuted the "Queens of the Stone Age" moniker for Homme's new project.  The split EP also included a third track from the "Gamma Ray" recording sessions, "Spiders and Vinegaroons".
