New Them Crooked Vultures - "Mind Eraser, No Chaser"

It's about time someone had some pun with Thelonius Monk. "Mind Eraser, No Chaser" isn't the first studio single we've heard from rock-demigod triptych Them Crooked Vultures' self-titled debut -- that'd be "New Fang" -- and it isn't the only...

New Them Crooked Vultures - "New Fang"

You don't have to pack into crammed rock clubs/attend huge festivals/scour YouTube for crap-grade performance clips for tastes of the Led Stone Age Fighters supergroup much longer: Them Crooked Vultures have a self-titled debut out next month, and the studio...

Them Crooked Vultures @ Stubb's, Austin 10/1/09

They've come a long way: From being just a couple of scrappy upstarts playing a bunch of unreleased material at the Metro this summer, three practically unknown dudes named John Paul Jones, Josh Homme, and Dave Grohl (along with megastar...

Following live videos of "Dead End Friends" and "Elephants," here's one for "Caligulove" from the Homme/Grohl/John Paul Jones project captured at Saturday's Lowlands festival in the Netherlands.

New Them Crooked Vultures - "Elephants" (Live At Pukkelpop Festival)

This past weekend the Josh Homme/Dave Grohl/John Paul Jones supergroup Them Crooked Vultures did two festival gigs in Europe, including the "surprise" set which surprised nobody at Belgium's Pukkelpop.

New Them Crooked Vultures - "Dead End Friends" (Live In Amsterdam)

Josh, Dave, and John Paul didn't make it easy for us to attend their first-ever live show: midnight on a Sunday in Chicago, which happened to be just hours after three days of the muggiest Lollapalooza to date, at the...

Them Crooked Vultures @ Metro, Chicago 8/9/09

After three days of extreme sweat and fatigue from running between stages in Grant Park for Lollapalooza (post TK), ordinarily there'd be zero appeal to a midnight Sunday show in an overcapacity rock club without a working air conditioner. But... CONTINUE READING THEM CROOKED VULTURES @ METRO, CHICAGO 8/9/09»

Josh Homme, Dave Grohl, And John Paul Jones Are Them Crooked Vultures

The Foo/Queens/Zep supergroup first rumored in 2005 will play Chicago's Metro on Sunday. Tickets go on sale Thursday morning.

Led Zeppelin @ O2 Arena, London (UK) 12/10/07

Yep, the mighty Zep reunited last night. Since we weren't lucky enough to report on it firsthand, we did the next best thing: asked a friend of a friend to give us the lowdown. From the smattering of reviews we've... CONTINUE READING LED ZEPPELIN @ O2 ARENA, LONDON (UK) 12/10/07»

New Uncle Earl Video (Feat. John Paul Jones) - "Streak O' Lean, Streak O' Fat (AKA Hongshao Rou)"

Set in a Chinese restaurant, the foot stomping, kung-fu fighting video for all-gal bluegrass quartet Uncle Earl's John Paul Jones-produced "Streak O' Lean, Streak O' Fat" is one of the more jarring cultural blends we've encountered recently.
