THEM CROOKED VULTURES To Rock 'Saturday Night Live'

January 22, 2010

THEM CROOKED VULTURES — which consists of Dave Grohl (FOO FIGHTERS, NIRVANA, THEM CROOKED VULTURES) on drums, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE singer/guitarist Josh Homme and LED ZEPPELIN bass player John Paul Jones — is set to rock the soundstage of another iconic institution, "Saturday Night Live". The band will take the stage live in front of the raucous "SNL" crowd on February 6, with the show being hosted by Ashton Kutcher. Following its stint on late-night television, THEM CROOKED VULTURES will bring the rock to a handful of cities along the East Coast before heading to the desert to play Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on April 16.

THEM CROOKED VULTURES released its self-titled debut album in November 2009 to a slew of critical acclaim and in just a few short months saw additional accolades including "best of 2009" lists from Spin, MySpace and Time Out. The album, which has reached gold and platinum status in a number of territories, including U.K., Canada and Australia, is available in stores and online now.

THEM CROOKED VULTURES's December 8, 2009 concert at the Palladium in Cologne, Germany was professionally filmed by WDR's (German public TV) series "Rockpalast" and was premiered on December 15.

The entire 97-minute concert can be viewed at this location.

THEM CROOKED VULTURES's self-titled debut album sold 70,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 12 on The Billboard 200 chart.

"Them Crooked Vultures" was released on November 17, 2009 via DGC/Interscope Records.

THEM CROOKED VULTURES recently shot a video for the song "New Fang" with director Paul Minor (MUSE, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, SCARS ON BROADWAY).

Grohl told the Toronto Star about THEM CROOKED VULTURES, "Who's going to let that go to waste? None of us needs to be in this band, but none of us would want to be anywhere else, you know? No, that's not true. I need to be in this band because the feeling I get playing with the VULTURES, I don't get anywhere else."
