In the beginning of August, I brought you the news about a new supergroup called Them Crooked Vultures which is made up of Guitarist Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Drummer Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana) and Bassist John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin - JPJ also plays Keys & Mandolin) with all three sharing vocal duties - although I believe Homme is technically the "lead" vocalist. Well, I promised updates and so here we are.

The band played for a public audience the first time in Chicago on August 9 and then embarked on a tour through Europe before playing shows across the U.S. this past October. Unsurprisingly, given the fame of all three members, ticket prices for these shows were sky-high. However, now everyone will finally have a chance to hear the band. They've confirmed November 17 as the release date for their self-produced, eponymous debut album.

Press Release & Album info
Pre-order the Album.

The band is also planning on continuing their tour with a return trip back to Europe as well as a flight over to the land down under later this winter. However, it appears they are done touring the U.S. - at least for now.

As always, WVBR will update you with the next significant updates.
