That's funny, I was going to nominate this for the thread about stupid band names.

Crooked Vultures seems like an ok name. Doesn't need the "Them" portion. Eh, whatever. This could be an interesting collaboration. I'd be willing to give it a listen.

That seems like a pretty odd grouping of musicians. But, hey, I wish them luck. Very Happy

I bet Grohl is doing drums while Homme does vox/guitar...would be cool to see them share vocals though...

I still think THEM CROOKED VULTURES is a great name!!!!

Not any weirder than that new Bun E. Carlos/MMMMM-Bop kid/Smashing Pumpkins/Fountains of Wayne dudes super group, Tinted Windows. And from what I heard, it was pretty dang catchy.

That Tinted Windows is pretty catchy but I find it gets boring quickly.

Really? I was thinking of picking it up. I enjoy a little power-pop bubblegum from time to time.

So do I but there's something missing on that one for me.

still sounds interesting to me

I don't think it's a huge stretch...I mean, Foo Fighters, QOTSA and Zeppelin are all Hard Rock bands...Dave has guested w/ QOTSA before...I can see it working...I think Tinted Windows was a stranger grouping...

found this on antimusic.com

Grohl revealed the idea four years ago in an interview with British music magazine Mojo, saying only that he'd be on drums, with Homme and Jones on guitar and bass respectively.

Are the Foos broken up or just on hiatus for the time being?

Rumored title of debut album is Never Deserved The Future on Oct. 23rd, although that info has apparently been denied by their publicist.

Them Crooked Vultures are aiming to put out their self-titled, debut album before the end of the year.
Blabbermouthis reporting that guitarist/vocalist Josh Homme has said of the actual release date:
“We’ve been doing a lot of stuff real kind of secretive, and we
actually made a pact to not know when it’s coming out, the band guys.
I’m betting… Well it’s going to be before the end of the year… We kind
of have a little running bet on what the date is. And I intend to win
that bet, because I’m going to cheat.”
That’s cleared that one up, then.
The album will be available on Sony/BMG everywhere, except in America, where it will be on the Interscope label.
