Release Notes:
SUPPORT LATEST LAME !!
Formed from the ashes of stoner rock icons Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age
reunited the group's singer/guitarist Josh Homme, drummer Alfredo Hernandez, and
bassist Nick Oliveri along with new guitarist/keyboardist Dave Catching. The
project's origins date back to Homme, who in the wake of Kyuss' 1995 demise
relocated to Seattle to tour with the Screaming Trees; he soon began working
with a revolving lineup of musicians including the Trees' Van Conner,
Soundgarden's Matt Cameron, and Dinosaur Jr.'s Mike Johnson, recording a series
of 7"s originally issued under the name Gamma Ray. After rechristening the group
Queens of the Stone Age, Homme recruited Hernandez to begin work on their
self-titled debut LP, issued in late 1998 on Loosegroove; after the album was
completed, Oliveri left the Dwarves to rejoin his former bandmates, with the
subsequent addition of Catching rounding out the roster. In addition to
extensive touring, Homme put together a series of albums for the indie label
Man's Ruin; the various volumes of the Desert Sessions feature Homme's
collaborations with a loose-knit, revolving-door lineup of like-minded
musicians, some from bands like Soundgarden, Fu Manchu, and Monster Magnet.
In mid-2000, Queens of the Stone Age issued their sophomore album, R (as in the
movie rating; some promo copies were distributed with the original title, II),
before appearing on that year's Ozzfest tour. By that point, drummer Hernandez
had been replaced by a tag-team combo of Gene Troutman and Nicky Lucero. The
group built a healthy buzz courtesy of accolades from such renowned publications
as Rolling Stone, and due to good old-fashioned touring. 2001 saw the group
perform at the massive Rock in Rio festival (after which Oliveri was arrested by
the Brazilian police for performing nude) and a spot on the year's Ozzfest. The
same year, Homme and Oliveri put together yet another volume of the Desert
Sessions series, while QOTSA assembled a third studio album.
Ex-Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl was very vocal in the press about his admiration
of the Queens, which led to an invitation for him to join the group for the
third album's recording and, subsequently, supporting tour. Surprisingly, Grohl
accepted, putting the Foo Fighters on hold (despite having a new album completed
and ready to go). One of the year's most eagerly anticipated hard rock albums,
Songs for the Deaf was issued in August 2002 and was preceded by a tour that saw
Oliveri and Homme joined by Grohl on drums, ex-Screaming Trees vocalist Mark
Lanegan, and A Perfect Circle guitarist/keyboardist Troy Van Leeuwen. As if
their schedules weren't busy enough between QOTSA and their other projects,
Oliveri and Homme signed on to pen the musical score to the movie The Dangerous
Lives of Altar Boys (with backing by Rage Against the Machine drummer Brad
Wilk), and formed a new project, Headband, with ex-Marilyn Manson bassist Twiggy
Ramirez and Amen frontman Casey Chaos. Homme also hooked up with old friend
Jesse Hughes for Eagles of Death Metal, which issued the Peace Love Death Metal
LP in 2004. (Homme played drums.)
When QOTSA reconvened for the March 2005 LP Lullabies to Paralyze, the lineup
featured Homme, Joey Castillo, Alain Johannes, Van Leeuwan, and Lanegan. The
Over the Years and Through the Woods CD/DVD appeared in November that same year.
It featured live material from the band's tour for Lullabies, but also included
rare and archival Queens footage. In 2007, the band (Lanegan at this point was
only a guest) released the excellent Era Vulgaris, which also included
contributions from the Strokes' Julian Casablancas, among others.
Era Vulgaris wrapped up QOTSA's contract with Interscope and the group went into
a period of inactivity as Homme pursued other projects over the next few years.
Chief among these was Them Crooked Vultures, a power trio also featuring Dave
Grohl and Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, who released an eponymous album
in 2009. The next year saw a deluxe reissue of Rated R and then in 2011, the
band reissued their hard-to-find debut and did a small supporting tour behind
this deluxe edition. QOTSA began recording a new album in 2012, bringing Grohl
back into the fold and also finding spots for Mark Lanegan, Trent Reznor, Jake
Shears, and Elton John, as well as Nick Oliveri. Queens of the Stone Age signed
with Matador in 2013 and the ...Like Clockwork album was released in June of
that year.
