Formed by Joshua Homme against a backdrop of 1990s Palm Desert, California, Queens of the Stone Age is what happens when a multidimensional musical entity outgrows the very genre it creates. Too prolific, ambitious and just plain brilliant to be confined by categorization, QOTSA has morphed over the course of eight utterly essential albums into the behemoth that has blessed us with a cornucopia of bangers from “No One Knows” to “Little Sister,” “My God is the Sun” to “Emotion Sickness” “Paper Machete” and so many more. Undeniably rock — yes, always, but with the blood, sweat and dark magical swagger only Homme and his cohorts can conjure.
Regularly hailed as one of the greatest live bands in existence, QOTSA consists of Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore… What started off as generator parties in the desert has evolved into an undeniable multi-sensual juggernaut that returns to light up stages across Australia & New Zealand with the epic line up of Primus and Tropical Fuck Storm.
