THEM CROOKED VULTURES: Photos Of Chicago Concert Posted Online

August 11, 2009

THEM CROOKED VULTURES, the new supergroup featuring Josh Homme (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE),John Paul Jones (LED ZEPPELIN) and Dave Grohl (FOO FIGHTERS),made its live debut at the Lollapalooza after-show party on Sunday, August 9 at the Metro in Chicago, Illinois. Check out photos of the concert at Pitchfork.com.

According to Jim DeRogatis of the Chicago Sun-Times, THEM CROOKED VULTURES played to around 1,100 people, mostly hardcore fans of Homme and Grohl lucky enough to get tickets after a fan club notification.

Addressing the setting for this auspicious bow, Homme said, "We could have done this in L.A." As he pantomimed a well-endowed woman performing a rude sexual act, the crowd cheered wildly. "That's why came here!" he added. "We came to Chicago because we wanted to play Metro!"

The band's setlist was as follows:

01. Elephants
02. New Fang
03. Scumbag Blues
04. Dead End Friends
05. Bandoliers
06. Mind Eraser
07. Gunman
08. Daffodils
09. Interlude w/ Ludes
10. Caligulove
11. Warsaw
12. Nobodys Loves Me

The trio is said to be 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."

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."
