An audio sample of the
THEM CROOKED VULTURES song entitled
"Nobody Loves Me And Neither Do I" is available for streaming in the YouTube clip below.
THEM CROOKED VULTURES is the new supergroup consisting of
FOO FIGHTERS frontman
Dave Grohl,
QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE singer/guitarist
Josh Homme and
LED ZEPPELIN bassist
John Paul Jones. The band made its live debut late Sunday night (August 9) at the Metro club in Chicago, shortly after
Lollapalooza closed its third and final day at nearby Grant Park. According to the
Chicago Sun-Times, the trio performed a 75-minute, 12-song set for 1,100 people, with
Homme singing lead,
Grohl on drums and backing vocals, and
Jones shifting between bass, keyboards and even keytar.
QUEENS multi-instrumentalist
Alain Johannes provided extra support on guitar.
Other songtitles included opener
"Elephants",
"Scumbag Blues",
"Mind Eraser (No Chaser)",
"Caligulove" and
"Interlude w/Ludes".
Chicago Tribune music critic
Greg Kot wrote: "The group made it very clear that it's not only for real, but also has the chance to be the exception to the super-group rule. Most of these Frankenstein projects usually end up being less than the sum of their parts, but
CROOKED VULTURES sounded like it was on to something fresh, invigorating and just plain nasty."
THEM CROOKED VULTURES, which has been in the works for four years, will release an album and hit the road sometime later this year, but official details have yet to be announced. So far all the band has done is put up a web site as well as
Twitter,
Facebook,
MySpace and
YouTube pages.
