Them Crooked Vultures, new rock super group featuring Dave Grohl (Foo fighters), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and John Paul Jones (Led Zepplin) have been scientifically scooping out bite size morsels of content for consumption. It seems like everyday there is a facebook post with some kind of clue about something; a teaser video on youtube, some photos of posters in Amsterdam, a map of the world. Its all a big game to these guys while we are waiting, waiting, waiting to hear the music.

However, not to rub your noses in it, but I was one of the lucky few who had the opportunity to see them live in Chicago at Metro during Lollapalooza. It was wall to wall humans, forget personal space…you were making friends with your neighbors fast. I was fortunate enough to be up in the balcony area at the rail. Every time the people on the floor let out a scream it was like a blast of hot breathe that came up like out of a furnace and kissed you on the mouth. Pleasant!

But the music was rockin’. You know that when you get 3 seasoned professionals in a band of this caliber they are bound to know what the eff they are doing. My only complaint is I really want to live with the songs, dissect the lyrics, dive into the melodies. One listen doesn’t leave the same impression on you as repeated, please god turn that song off, listening does. And I can wear a song out like no other, ask my tortured husband.

So listen up “vultures”…kick us something we can sink our teeth into. Stop being such a chic-tease!
