Them Crooked Vultures

I haven't heard any songs yet, but I was psyched to find out that Dave Grohl (Nirvana/Foo Fighters), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) have formed a new supergroup called Them Crooked Vultures. Cool!

My band, HR Violations, will be performing at The Clubhouse in Tempe on November 17th. You can get tickets at The Drummer's Den if you want to go and you want to save a couple of bucks on the price at the door. We have a new bassist and a new guitarist, so it should be an interesting gig. Mary Vendegna is on the bill too. Check it out!

Went to see The Black Crowes at the Arizona State Fair a couple of weeks ago. What a great show! The drummer for the Crowes, Steve Gorman, is in this month's Modern Drummer magazine. I love the Black Crowes, well three of their albums anyway, never got into the other ones. My number one pick is The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, and then Shake Your Money Maker is a "classic", and the Live at the Greek where they played Zeppelin songs with Jimmy Page on lead guitar is awesome! Chris Robinson really nails it on the vocals.
