Aka Dave Grohl, Joshua Homme and John Paul Jones–will be bringing their tour to The Joint on Saturday, April 17. Tickets go on sale Saturday, February 13 at noon.

The band is touring in support of their debut album that was released in November 2009 on DGC/Interscope Records. The self-produced 13-song record features the debut of the studio versions of the material Them Crooked Vultures unveiled at its August 9 debut at Chicago’s Cabaret Metro and played on a first series of shows throughout a handful of UK and European cities and portions of the eastern U.S., wrapping up with an October 15 appearance at New York’s Roseland Ballroom.

Many people have asked how the band was formed. Dave first came up with the idea of him, Joshua and John playing together. Joshua thought it was a great idea but wasn’t really aware how serious Dave was until Dave essentially set him and John up on a blind date, inviting both of them to his 40th birthday party in January 2009 at Medieval Times in Buena Park, CA. He had the two seated together and was able to observe their chemistry from his perch while being knighted and cheering on the Blue Knight.

When asked to describe the band’s sound, their response was “It sounds like the guy from Queens of the Stone Age singing and playing guitar with the bass player from Led Zeppelin and the drummer from Nirvana.”  Fans are encouraged to come up with their own descriptions when they check out this blend of great musicians at The Joint on April 17.
