Grohl, Homme (and some dude from Led Zeppelin) jump on ACL Day 1
Them Crooked Vultures, the collaboration featuring Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and long-time Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, has been added to the Oct. 2 lineup for Austin City Limits Festival.
For those keeping track, the band’s spot on the XBox 360 stage is the one vacated by Lily Allen just over a week ago when the British singer dropped out for still-mysterious reasons.
If you’re unfamiliar with Them Crooked Vultures, the combo made its debut during Lollapalooza weekend last month (so the C3 Presents association shouldn’t make their addition any sort of a shocker) and earned rave reviews. The debut album, “Never Deserved The Future,” is due to the world (or this continent, anyway) on Oct. 23.
UPDATE: Looks like the band is playing an after/pre-/whatever show on Oct. 1 at Stubb’s as well. Tickets for that go on sale this Saturday.
