Them Crooked Vultures is a recently formed rock 'n roll supergroup that consists of Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Probot, etc.), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss) doing drums, bass, and vocals/guitar respectively. Alain Joannes is also a rhythm guitarist for touring. Them Crooked Vultures first played live August 9th, 2009, at Chicago, and performed in more locations for the rest of the month.
Their eponymous debut album will be released November 17th, 2009. It has been described as bluesy, a little funky, and just plain original.
According to a recent interview with Grohl, the idea came when he was celebrating his birthday at a reserved bar with a medieval theme. He asked Homme and then they asked JPJ. It seemed that no one was busy or binded to anything else, so the band was made. An official tour was announced for October and December on September 1st. It includes North America and the UK. Tickets for the tour were sold out within minutes in the UK, and more locations for the tour include Germany.
This is probably one of the best things that happened in the first decade of the 21st century, and will certainly end this decade with a bang.

Get the vultures mug.British slang for traffic wardens who prey on innocent citizens especially when they only parked up for a few minutes. This often has a wider effect on society than people may realise.
Citizen: I only pulled up for a minute to drop a bag off at the charity shop and a swarm of traffic vultures came to my car. Now I'm going to have to pay £100 to line Croydon Council's pockets!
