Dave Grohl (Nirvana & Foo Fighters) got Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and John Paul fuckin' Jones (do i need to say it?) together in a new band, Them Crooked Vultures. They're touring now (sadly, only east of the Mississippi and Europe).

Thanks to syringavulgaris for the heads-up.

Yeah, at the Roseland show JPJ looked like he was having a great old time, and when Homme introduced him the crowd went nuts. Grohl looked like he was having fun at first, he and JPJ were laughing and grinning at each other, but then a berzerker battle fury took him over and he hammered those fucking drums like he wanted each and every one of them to die. Possibly the most powerful and intense live show I have ever seen, the only one I can think of to rival it was Clutch.

[bow] But of course. :) Actually it was only by the purest chance that I got so lucky. Someone on the Hawkwind list just happened to mention it in an offhanded way because they had toured England in August and a friend of his caught the show. I hadn't even *heard* about this project. I looked them up and clicked the "current tour" link on their website just to see if thy were ever planning on coming to NYC, and it turned out that NYC was the final date of the tour, the following week. 10 minutes later I was printing tickets. Holy fucking hell what a show. If they come anywhere near you, you MUST see them.
