JOSH HOMME's DESERT SESSIONS To Make Live Debut

February 24, 2004

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE mainman Josh Homme is making plans for the full-fledged live debut of his ongoing DESERT SESSIONS project, which has released eight volumes of music in recent years, according to Billboard.com. The group will play a full set May 1 at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Homme's Indio, California home base.

"There will probably be an eight-piece band," Homme told Billboard.com. "The idea is to go rehearse for four or five days in Joshua Tree for one clump." The artist says he hopes such California-based DESERT SESSIONS participants as ELEVEN's Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider, QOTSA drummer Joey Castillo and MASTERS OF REALITY's Chris Goss will be part of the Coachella show.

"I'm hoping Dean Ween will be there, but [PJ HARVEY frontwoman] Polly [Jean Harvey] can't be there," he reported. "I always knew she was asked to do the festival. If she was going to do the festival, then I would ask her. If she wasn't doing the festival, than it meant she wasn't going to be able to be in town."
