The hysterically-anticipated new project featuring members of Foo Fighters, Led Zeppelin and Queens Of The Stone Age made their live debut in the early hours of this morning (August 10) on the outskirts of this year's Lollapalooza festival in Chicago.
Them Crooked Vultures took to the stage at midnight (EST) at Chicago's Metro venue, tearing through a generous 80 minute set of rock madness, which Twitter-weilding attendee Jasun compared to Queens Of The Stone Age “cranked to 40.”
Grohl made a passionate return to his roots behind the kit, while Homme took the guitar and vocals and Jones handled bass, keyboards and several other instruments.
Them Crooked Vultures setlist:
'Elephants'
'New Fang'
'Scumbag Blues'
'Dead End Friends'
'Bandoliers'
'Mind Eraser'
'Gunman'
'Daffodils'
'Interlude w/ Ludes'
'Caligulove'
'Warsaw'
'Nobodys Loves Me'
During the sold-out performance, savvy fans not in attendance found that the band’s official site got a minor update, featuring a new animation and a t-shirt for sale. We’ll have news soon on an album and headlining tour – but in the meantime, a fully detailed review of the show can be found here.
