them streaming vultures
I typically hate “supergroups” unless they have the words “travelling” or “wilburys” or “cream” or “blind” or “faith” in them… Supergroups seem to be all the rage these days though…. oh fuck…. I hate saying “all the rage”….. but I guess I could cleverly turn that into some sort of Audioslave reference. That wasn’t a supergroup and neither was Velvet Revolver. Those bands were simply GRIT ROCK….through and through.
But take Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age and add Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones (you know where they come from….chances are good you know about Homme as well) and you have one of the best examples of not just a novelty “supergroup”, but actually a very solid band.
Them Crooked Vultures have been popping up all over the world, playing sold out, surprise gigs and their self titled full length is in stores next Tuesday, 11/17. Instead of falling prey to the inevitable leak, the band did it themselves via YouTube. Click here to listen. Buy it next week.
