HOMME, GROHL, JONES To Perform At LOLLAPALOOZA After-Party?
August 4, 2009THEM CROOKED VULTURES, the new supergroup featuring Josh Homme (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE),John Paul Jones (LED ZEPPELIN) and Dave Grohl (FOO FIGHTERS),is rumored to be playing a last-minute Lollapalooza after-show party on Sunday, August 9 at the Metro in Chicago, Illinois. An image (see below) advertising the event on eTix (which is said to be a "pioneer in on-demand ticketing software") lists three symbols, which look identical to those of FOO FIGHTERS, LED ZEPPELIN (more specifically, Jones' symbol),and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE.
Tickets go on sale on Thursday, August 6 at 10:00 am CST (Internet only) via eTix.com.
The trio is said to be currently holed up in a Los Angeles recording studio working on an album that's been the biggest secret in rock for what seems like years now.
Josh Homme's wife Brody Dalle recently told Antiquiet, "I'm not at liberty to talk about it… but I think [the project] is pretty fucking amazing. Just beats and sounds like you've never heard before."
According to Lemon Squeezings, Jones wrote in an online post in April that he hoped "to be everywhere this summer" with "a couple of other people" who've been "working [with him] on some other music, which is more rock-based."
Jones in recent years has sat in with FOO FIGHTERS onstage and in the studio, and conducted an orchestra for Grohl's band at the Grammy Awards. Homme, who is the only consistent member of QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, allowed Grohl to guest on that outfit's breakthrough single.
When Jones first hinted of a summer project, he gave few details — and intentionally so, it appears, due to an expressed secrecy revolving around the collaboration. After dropping his sole hint in an interview with Women's Wear Daily, Jones added, "It's a secret, actually. I shouldn't have even said that, you know? There are some exciting projects coming up, let's put it that way."
