If it's Sunday, it must be Brussels. One of the hottest new arrivals of 2009 has set forth on their first European tour, only a short hop across a handful of capital cities – but it is a step up, nonetheless. Especially since their eerie, tremulous sound is not made ...

The self-titled debut album from Them Crooked Vultures appeared on Spotify this week. I had been looking forward to hearing it and I wasn’t disappointed. Unsurprisingly, a lot of it sounds like Queens of the Stone Age. In fact if I had heard it in a sort of ‘blind-tasting’ I would have guessed it to be [...]

At a time when it's widely assumed that Jack White and a handful of unknown indie chums merits the accolade, Them Crooked Vultures is a supergroup worthy of the term, in the classic rock tradition of Blind Faith and ELP.

Secrets, secrets are no fun. Secrets, secrets hurt someone. Not every secret is bad though, because sometimes they're more welcome surprises than hurtful disappointments. So when word of a supergroup called Them Crooked Vultures emerged this fall, I approached the situation with every bit of wariness you might expect. That being I heard they were playing their first ever secret show in Chicago immediately...

Another mate's contribution to the decade's review: Manchester-born and Blue, Marc was there at the Hac/Madchester explosion and I met him shortly after at Leeds, where his tastes had got rockier and more global (the first tape he gave me had Rage Against the Machine on one side and MC Solaar on the other). During the 90s he spent significant periods in Spain, Portugal and Brazil becoming fluent

It was The YOI's most successful night at 93 Feet East last week and I got lucky and happened to be behind the decks for some of it. I'd chosen to go down the indie/rock route and it seemed to go down well, suiting the kind of club that 93 Feet East is. Here's what I played, in a slightly random order (and it was a two and a half hour set so it's quite a big list)... Passion Pit - Sleepyhead The Virgins...

THE CRITICS AGREE: "One 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... Simply put, Jones has enhanced any musical setting he's ever graced with his classy and virtuosic presence."--Jim DeRogatis, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES "Melody isn't the core strength of this band anyway. That would be rhythm,...
