THEM CROOKED VULTURES DESCEND ON AUSTIN FOR FESTIVAL AND TV APPEARANCES FIRST EVER NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES CONFIRMED Tickets On Sale September 5 Debut Album Out Fall 2009 Them Crooked Vultures--a/k/a Dave Grohl (drums, backing vocals), Josh Homme (guitar, vocals) and John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards, backing vocals)--has confirmed the dates of its first ever North American tour. The dates kick off with an October 2 performance at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, to be preceded by a September 30 Austin City Limits TV taping to air at a later date TBD, as well as an appearance at the October 1 ACL Festival official pre-party at Stubb's Wallercreek Ampitheater. Tickets for the headline shows go on sale Saturday, September 5 at 10 a.m. local time. To date, Them Crooked Vultures has played one show on U.S. soil, an August 9 one-off at Chicago's Cabaret Metro. Of that show, the Chicago Sun-Times hailed the band as "one of the rarest things in rock: a supergroup that not only deserves that appellation, but which actually is greater than the sum of its storied parts," while the Chicago Tribune opined "The term 'supergroup' gets thrown around way too often in rock, but in the case of Them Crooked Vultures, it applies." The band recently wrapped a string of surprise appearances across Europe and the UK, of which the Times of London remarked "the sound climbed to super-threatening levels and the music new heights of heaviosity... this was a monster on the loose" and the Sun added "there were moments of gentleness too - including some mesmerising piano work from Jones." Following Austin City Limits, Them Crooked Vultures' headline dates commence October 5 at the Nashville War Memorial and include engagements in Columbus, Detroit, Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington DC.
