JOSH HOMME, CHRIS GOSS To Perform As 5:15ERS

February 6, 2006

Greg Prato of Billboard.com is reporting that longtime pals Chris Goss (MASTERS OF REALITY) and Josh Homme (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE) will make their live debut together later this month as the 5:15ERS. The group will appear Feb. 26 as part of Arthur Magazine's Arthurball at Echo in Los Angeles.

"We've actually had [the idea] for 10 years," Goss told Billboard.com about the collaboration with Homme. "My friend Jay Babcock at Arthur Magazine called a month or two ago and said, 'Do you want to play Arthur Ball, which is happening in the spring time?' So I called Josh and I said, 'It's time for 5:15ERS, right?' And he said, 'Yeah.' So this is the debut of the whole idea."

It also appears that the 5:15ERS will not be a one-shot deal, as Goss reports, "There will be one show and more to follow. We're focusing on the show, but we have talked about doing a record." However, Goss is in the dark as much as anybody as to what the 5:15ERS will actually sound like, as the duo has no songs written at this time. "I don't know yet — we've never done it before. I think there will be some improv involved," he said. "Perhaps some covers, we're thinking."
