A guy at work just introduced me to this, and I gotta say, f*** YEAH. Its a "super band" made up of the lead singer from Queens of the Stone Age, Dave Grohl on drums, John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin on keyboards and bass, and another guy I haven't heard of.

They haven't put out an album or anything yet, but theres some clips on youtube and some of their live stuff is floating around and hells yeah, sounding awesome.

And heres a useful link.

yeah its sounding pretty cool so far

colour me highly disappointed because vultures are awesome birds.

They've already done a bunch of shows and they are getting good reviews. Sadly a band like this would not come to australia. If they were, it would be a miracle.

Check on youtube for videos.


Should also check out the new "the soulsavers" album, brilliant work from mark lanegan(screaming trees, QoTSA and others)

Yeah, and if they did come to Australia, it'd probably cost a fortune to get tickets :(

At least they'd go to a city you're in Khel.

If they did sydney or melbourne only, i would definately fly down for the night. bands like this are worth the flight, because it would be a one off event.

dont know if it embeds the hd version, but clip I just posted looks pretty good in hd. good audio too.

dont know how to embed youtube..

GUESS WHO'S COMING TO AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!


Them Crooked Vultures - Australian Tour 2010
Tue Jan 19 - Challenge Stadium, Perth
Fri Jan 22 - Festival Hall, Melbourne
Mon Jan 25 - Riverstage, Brisbane
Tue Jan 26 - Hordern Pavilion, Sydney

Tickets are on sale September 22, but more info and pre-sale details, head to the Them Crooked Vultures website.

The Them Crooked Vultures debut album Never Deserved The Future is due in late October.

f*** YEAH

holy jeebus, im there.

i will be there

f*** YES!!

The sound awesome.

Looking at those dates, they will probably do the BDO's as well (fingers crossed!!)

From the Frontier Touring website:

PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO SEE TCV THIS JANUARY YOU CAN ONLY SEE THEM AT HEADLINE SHOWS. THERE WILL BE NO FESTIVAL APPEARANCES.

yeah I saw that too :/

What's the deal with BDO next year, is it even going ahead? Their website hasn't been updated. Didn't some chick OD in Perth last year??

Maybe there is no more :(

Its certinly going ahead as far as we know, nothings ever solid till november for us but the usual rumbling/tossing up of ideas between involved entitys is happening as usual.

Good to know :)

Can't wait to get back to BDO

do they have studio album out? I'm not a fan of live recordings

So glad they aren't doing any festivals, they wouldn't get the same reception they would from a solo show, knowing their true fans are there and not deads***s

Playing Riverstage AND $104.50... sjeez...

I was thinking of going, but i'm not so sure about that now.

Our company is running out of money and everyone who works there got put from full time, down to 2 days a week part time, which kind of skittled my plans to get these tickets too :(

I just bought 4 tickets in the pre-sale, $430 including booking fee and postage... a little exxy but it should be a good show

Yeah I've gone back to being a student and have no money despite working my arse off but I just got tickets. It's gonna be a bloody amazing tour. I'm so f***ing happy there were presale tickets left when I just got home

bdo is now the lamest festival ever.
boganfest.
its good to see a band NOT playing festivals and only doing headline shows.
ive said it before, we miss out on some good bands who come to southern festivals and do sideshows everywhere but brisbane :(

i have to say, its good hearing josh homme playing the old school type riffs.
hes a dead set legend as are jones and grohl as well imo .

josh homme f***yea. hes the man

Never heard of them but if that video VIPER posted is anything to go by, it sounds kinda boring... Or maybe its just me. The song just went on and on and on. Then again I'm not too into grohl's stuff (as a drummer).

^ wow, thats the 1st time ive heard someon say that.
even my electronica mates love him as it was his drums cut up on the latest prodigy album.
he plays on so many classic modern rock albums.
its actually good to hear a drummer say that for once.
who are your key players 3dee?

I'm influenced by Jose Pasillas (Incubus), Dom Howard (Muse), Neil Peart (Rush) and Chad Smith (RHCP) mostly so its not exactly "classic hard rock" but even then, that song just seemed to drag on a bit, ya know. Most of the music I listen is quite the opposite, though.

Get some Danny Carey into ya!!

He kicks all sorts of ass as a drummer (imo)!

^ i concur......

id say dom from muse is influenced a heck by dave grohl.....
incubus live at red rocks drum off is amazing.
neil peart has influenced soooo many people without realsing it, so good one 3dee for dropping his name.
i can hear him in your playing......

Then again I'm not too into grohl's stuff (as a drummer).

Realy, how can u not like dave grohls drumming? I guess its personal preference but I dont think i've ever heard a drummer that doesnt like dave grohls drumming.

Probably the most excited i've been for an album/show in years!

Sorry I meant his music. Just never been that into it really (such as Foo Fighters). More into funk, progressive and alternative rock than classic or hard rock per se.

Yeah? I guess my playing style is somewhere in between those four drummers since I listen to them all a considerable amount more than any other bands.

^ well if you're influenced by Jose Pasillas or mike portnoy et al, then i always hear the peartness !!!!!!

Haha I guess you're right :P Did you get our CD or off iTunes or something, btw?

For those interested, you can download for free the new single 'Mind Eraser, No Chaser' if you are signed up to itunes.

Yeap, got them, they sound good.

Can't wait to see them in Jan!
