Dave Grohl is currently recording with Queens Of The Stone Age's Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones.

There were rumours of the trio working together as long ago as 2005, but according to Antiquiet.com, they have finally started recording together, and are currently in the studio in Los Angeles.

Although the group are being tight-lipped about their plans, Homme's wife, Spinnerette's Brody Dalle, indicated that she had heard some of the trio's efforts.

“I'm not at liberty to talk about it… but I think [the project] is pretty fucking amazing," she declared. "Just beats and sounds like you've never heard before.”

This sounds potentially more interesting than Jones' other solo projects... I fell off the QOTSA train a while back, so I'm not sure what Homme is sounding like these days.

From FMQB.com:

The album is due Nov. 17, so we can gladly change the date from the heading!

More news has come out about the eagerly awaited album from Them Crooked Vultures. According to Interscope Records, the first single will be "New Fang" and it will arrive at radio stations on Monday, October 26. The band's self-titled debut album will be in stores on November 17.

From FMQB.com:

Them Crooked Vultures, the supergroup made up of Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones, has parceled out bits and pieces of information about their debut album over the past few months. Now the trio has shown their hand, revealing that the self-titled record will be out November 17 on Interscope Records.

The self-produced album will contain 13 songs, including the first single, "New Fang," which will arrive at radio Monday morning.

Them Crooked Vultures recently wrapped up a tour of North America. They will play a series of European and U.K. tour dates in December, then visit Australia and New Zealand in January 2010.

Them Crooked Vultures track list:

"No One Loves Me & Neither Do I"
"Mind Eraser, No Chaser"

"Bandoliers"
"Reptiles"

Looks like they've dropped the idea of calling the album Never Deserved The Future, and are going to make it self-titled instead.

Pretty much what I expected-more QOSTA then Zep or the Foos. Still, a pretty cool groove and a nice, full sound. An interesting song for sure and it definitely rocks! Has that Desert Rock thing going on with some Blues and Southern styles. I'd say it will grow on me and I'm looking forward to hearing more. I expect to get this album.

Led Zeppelin replacement singer idea 'fell by wayside'
Them Crooked Vultures' John Paul Jones speaks about new project

Led Zeppelin's plan to find a replacement singer for Robert Plant "fell by the wayside", bassist John Paul Jones has explained.

The bassist, now playing in Them Crooked Vultures with Dave Grohl and Josh Homme, said that despite he and guitarist Jimmy Page auditioning potential frontmen, they couldn't agree on a new band member.

"Jimmy and I rehearsed a bit with [drummer] Jason Bonham and we couldn't really agree on singers and that fell by the wayside," he told BBC 6 Music. "Then this [Them Crooked Vultures] came along and, to be honest, I'm really happy."

Jones was keen to heap praise on Foo Fighters drummer Grohl, saying it was a pleasure to play with him in the new outfit. "I immediately recognised that this was a drummer that was a) really good, b) groovy and c) listened. All those nice things that bass players like in drummers," he explained.

Got an early promo. The Zep influence stands out on several tracks. Pretty good overall.

Paul McCartney: 'I nearly joined Them Crooked Vultures instead of John Paul Jones'
Dave Grohl turned the former Beatle down

Paul McCartney has revealed he asked about joining Them Crooked Vultures on bass, only to be told by Dave Grohl that John Paul Jones had already beaten him to it.

McCartney said he was first told about Them Crooked Vultures by Dave Grohl when the two went out to dinner together after playing together at last February's Grammys ceremony.

"We went out for a bite to eat afterwards and Dave told me he was starting this band with Josh [Homme]," he told the Daily Mail. "I asked him who was playing bass and he rather sheepishly told me he'd approached John. So you read it here first; Paul McCartney was nearly the bass player in Them Crooked Vultures."

Well, thank God for John Paul Jones, that's all I can say.

Really? I'd actually be quite interested to hear what McCartney would be up to in a power trio setting...
