QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE To Begin Work On New Album

July 8, 2010

According to The Pulse of Radio, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and THEM CROOKED VULTURES guitarist and singer Josh Homme told RollingStone.com that once the QUEENS finish a run of European festival dates they'll settle into making their sixth studio album this fall. He said, "I have ideas already, absolutely. It's all about wiggling hips. The music is gonna go further down that strange and lovely path of (2007 effort) 'Era Vulgaris'." Homme added that he hopes to have the new QUEENS record out by the middle of next year.

In the meantime, fans will have to content themselves with the deluxe reissue of the band's second album, 2000's "Rated R", which will arrive this fall with B-sides and a complete concert included.

Homme hinted that the group has also played with the idea of performing all five of their albums in concert, explaining, "We've talked about how much we enjoyed when CHEAP TRICK performed their first three records and we've thought about doing five nights for each record. It's been discussed — after a few shots."

Homme has also revived his custom record label, Rekords Rekords, and plans to launch a new series of his famous "Desert Sessions" jam sessions, a box set of all the previous "Desert Sessions" recordings and the solo debut from QUEENS and THEM CROOKED VULTURES guitarist Alain Johannes. That album, called "Spark", is due out August 31.
