DAVE GROHL Talks About THEM CROOKED VULTURES On Australia's 'Breakfast Show'

November 26, 2009

Dave Grohl (FOO FIGHTERS, NIRVANA, THEM CROOKED VULTURES) was interviewed on the November 4, 2009 edition of Triple J's "Breakfast Show" in Australia. The chat is now available for streaming below.

THEM CROOKED VULTURES' self-titled debut album sold 70,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 12 on The Billboard 200 chart.

THEM CROOKED VULTURES consists of Grohl on drums, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE singer/guitarist Josh Homme and LED ZEPPELIN bass player John Paul Jones.

"Them Crooked Vultures" was released on November 17 via DGC/Interscope Records.

THEM CROOKED VULTURES recently shot a video for the song "New Fang" with director Paul Minor (MUSE, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, SCARS ON BROADWAY).

Grohl told the Toronto Star about THEM CROOKED VULTURES, "Who's going to let that go to waste? None of us needs to be in this band, but none of us would want to be anywhere else, you know? No, that's not true. I need to be in this band because the feeling I get playing with the VULTURES, I don't get anywhere else."

Grohl indicated that he wanted to get back to playing drums after more than 13 years fronting FOO FIGHTERS. He explained, "I'm a drummer . . . I want a band to play the drums in. But I'm not just gonna go eke out with some band that doesn't matter, I wanna do something that's gonna make people's heads spin. And that's why I'm in a band with Josh and John."

Regarding the band's self-titled debut, Grohl said, "I think we knew within the first month or two that we were making something that had a lot more weight or depth to it than some side project."
