[GinaSuperCat]

Hah, Jean I thought of you when I heard about the new name for the band--how often do you see references to vultures in awesome contexts nowadays?..<grin>

Anyone here from Chicago? If so, go sign up at themcrookedvultures.com and get yourself to this show or I'll personally maim you.

And yes, Dave had an alley named after him in his hometown of Warren OH over the weekend. Made an impromptu appearance, did a few songs, got the key to the city, the usual.

WOOOOO, thanks EQ!

[smudge]

Oh to be in Chicago...



I thought it was complete nonsense when I first read the rumour, then it kept getting more 'sensible' sounding - nice to be completely wrong

[smax]

thanks for the links, EQ, i saw the 2002 glastonbury QOTSA show with davie on drums... they sure kicked ass..

[smudge]

So is anyone attempting to get to this?

I flirted with the notion last night, then saw the price of flights (and realised that flying transatlantic for a 36 hour visit was utterly unjustifiable at any price).

Oh now, be fair. That was three days! And they'd changed the setlist! And I was young and foolish.

Them Crooked Vultures — the long-rumored supergroup involving Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones — seems poised to finally make their grand entrance with a post-Lollapalooza show scheduled for August 9th at Chicago’s Metro. According to ETix, tickets for the concert go on sale Thursday, August 6th at 10 a.m. The band’s logo features the Foo’s “FF” insignia, John Paul Jones’ symbol from Led Zeppelin IV and the Queens’ infamous “Spermy Q.”

Antiquiet unearthed the possibility of the supergroup trio touring this year, citing quotes from Jones to a French journalist. Then Eagles of Death Metal’s Jesse Hughes accidentally let slip the band’s moniker during an interview with a Winnipeg radio station. According to a 2005 interview with Mojo, Grohl said, “The next project that I’m trying to initiate involves me on drums, Josh Homme on guitar, and John Paul Jones playing bass. That’s the next album. That wouldn’t suck.” It took four years, but it looks like the supergroup has finally arrived, as evidenced by an official Website that has popped up over the past few days.

Entering your e-mail at the Them Crooked Vultures official Website only opens a passage way to access the band’s Twitter, MySpace and Facebook pages, and right now all three only link back to the official site, so there’s not much information to be had. However, the MySpace page confirms the involvement of Homme, Grohl and Jones under the “Band Members” listing. All three pages were created on August 1st. No other details — including song samples or who will handle the lead vocals — are known, but we’ll find out all at midnight on August 9th at Chicago’s Metro.

During Lollapalooza weekend in Chicago, most of the hottest shows in Chicago haven't been in Grant Park, but rather in the Chi-town clubs.

Like Saturday night, when we made our maiden voyage to Schuba's Tavern, where Black Keys singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach slayed a lucky crowd with tunes from his solo debut, Keep It Hid.

But last night's show at the Metro was truly special: the debut of the supergroup Them Crooked Vultures -- featuring Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones.

We were tipped off last week when Grohl texted us to make sure we'd be in town on Sunday night. Without spoiling the surprise, he told us to come to the Metro on Sunday at midnight. Then we saw the ad that appeared on the Metro site, featuring the logos of the Foo Fighters, Zeppelin and Queens of the Stone Age. Holy shit, we thought.

But nobody had any idea what to expect at the gig. The trio, joined by QOTSA guitarist Alain Johannes, walked onstage to the tune of Chuck Berry's "No Particular Place To Go." Then they slayed the crowd for 75-minutes -- no encores -- with songs nobody's ever heard. Homme sang, Grohl played drums, and JPJ stuck mostly to the bass -- a couple times he jumped on keyboards, keytar, or picked up a crazy, futuristic slide guitar.

Here's the set list:

Elephant
New Fang
Scumbag Blues
Dead End Friends
Bandolier
Mind Eraser (No Chaser)
Gunman
Daffodils
Caligulove
Warsaw
Nobody Loves Me

Never has a supergroup sounded more like the sum of its parts. Grohl never spoke to the crowd, but his galloping drums recalled both Nirvana and the Foos. Homme's vocals (and songwriting, we would guess) were dark and heavy, with those crazy melodic and rhythmic shifts. And JPJ, who was sripping with sweat by the end of it, thumped along like he was onstage again with Zep.

After the show everyone partied backstage. We had a shot of Crown Royal with Grohl, who was totally exhausted after the gig (and the five hour rehearsal the day before.) We learned that Them Crooked Vultures have been kicking around for six months. The idea began with Grohl and JPJ (who have been buddies for a while now) and then they recruited Homme. There will be an album AND a U.S. tour. Believe it!

The show is insane! And the boys were so stoked. To quantify how excited they were, let us share with you a texting exchange that went down yesterday afternoon..

S.S.: Hey Dave, I just got my first boner about the show tonight!

Grohl: I've had one of those everlasting boners that they warn you about on the Viagra commercials for the past 6 months.

S.S.: You should notify your physician

Grohl: No worries. It'll go down once I blow my load all over the Metro.

Last night, everyone at the Metro blew their proverbial load.
