Talk About Rock Music

Not all supergroups work as Blind Faith can testify, while Cream and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young prove that they can. I was, and still am a big fan of Audioslave which featured most notably Chris Cornell from Soundgarden and Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine. Now we have another supergroup forming to fill us with intrigue.

As I mentioned in an article back in July, Them Crooked Vultures is a hard rock supergroup which has been brought together by Dave Grohl, the Foo Fighters’ frontman and ex-Nirvana drummer. The band features an interesting line up which includes Queens of the Stone Age singer Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin Bassist John Paul Jones. Alain Johannes of Queens of the Stone Age will also appear at the live gigs.

Now, while it is too early to say how well they’ll do, and I haven’t even heard any of the songs yet, I certainly wish them well as they embark on a six-date UK tour this December.

If you were lucky enough to catch them when they supported the Arctic Monkeys in Brixton or when they made the surprise appearances at the Reading and Leeds festivals recently, let me know what you thought.

Here are their UK gigs:

10th December - Plymouth Pavilions
11th December - Portsmouth Guildhall
13th December - Blackpool Empress Ballroom
14th December - Birmingham O2 Academy
15th December - Edinburgh Corn Exchange
17th December - London Hammersmith Apollo
