In addition to lining up a slew of European festival dates, Them Crooked Vultures (featuring Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme, Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, and the Foo Fighter’s Dave Grohl in a mindblowing lineup that makes ‘ah, it’s pretty good’ music) have set aside a date in their harried schedule to perform an act of musical charity.
UPDATE: See end of story.
Hard rock legends AC/DC and new super group Them Crooked Vultures are among the first acts announced to play this year’s Download Festival, which takes place at Donington Park between June 11-13. The festival, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary, will also see performances from Stone Temple Pilots, Megadeth, Motorhead, Deftones, Bullet For My Valentine, Wolfmother and Volbeat.
The eighth Download festival marks the 30th anniversary of rock festivals at Donington Park, dating back to the first Monsters Of Rock in 1980.
We all remember when we first heard there was going to be a super group called Them Crooked Vultures. We all remember how excited we got when we discovered the members would be musicians from three great and influential bands. Foo Fighters‘ Dave Grohl, Led Zeppelin‘s John Paul Jones, and Queens of the Stone Age‘s Josh Homme unveiled themselves as a collective earlier this year at a post-Lollapalooza show and made a huge splash with their first live performance.
Their self-titled debut album was a big hit with new fans as well, but here’s something to wrap your brain around. What if a former member of the Beatles were part of this super group right now? Now, that would be a super group!
The self-titled debut album from rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures is being streamed online – all 13 tracks.
Their new album doesn’t arrive in stores until next week, but very nice of Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones to hook up everybody with a sweet preview. The guys kick-off a west coast mini-tour at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles on November 17th, then on to Oakland, Seattle and Portland before jetting off to the U.K. and Australia.

Them Crooked Vultures is one super-group that is not going to quit. With Dave Grohl also releasing a Greatest Hits album with his group Foo Fighters, he and Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, and Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme seem to be pretty happy as they finally share their music with the world after working together for so long out of the public eye.
We already brought you their first studio single, “New Fang,” and now we’re bringing you “Mind Eraser, No Chaser.” Based on some of their song titles, TCV seems to like their wordplay! Check out the new single below!

Do you still think there’s too much hoopla surrounding the newest rock supergroup, Them Crooked Vultures?
Think again. Perhaps you weren’t at the Lollapalooza after show. Perhaps you haven’t seen video footage. Perhaps you’ve neither seen OR heard them live. Well, we can fix that problem for you. Them Crooked Vultures is now more public than ever as they will embark on a US tour next month and a Europe tour shortly after. Check the details out after the jump!
It turns out our little hunch about the supergroup, Them Crooked Vultures, was right on! The super rock group formed by Foo Fighters‘ Dave Grohl, Led Zeppelin‘s John Paul Jones, and Queens of the Stone Age‘s Josh Homme unveiled themselves at the Lollapalooza‘s after-show and fans were not disappointed!
After a hot and sticky then wet and rainy three-day festival, everyone was psyched to catch the first Them Crooked Vultures show in history. Rumors were flying around and tickets were bought (no scalper would accept less than $2,000 according to Stereogum) and the anticipation for speculation to become reality seemed to give everyone in attendance an extreme high that night.
