BIO

Formed from the ashes of stoner rock icons Kyuss,
Queens of the Stone Age reunited the group's
singer/guitarist Josh Homme, drummer Alfredo
Hernandez, and bassist Nick Oliveri along with new
guitarist/keyboardist Dave Catching. The project's
origins date back to Homme, who in the wake of
Kyuss' 1995 demise relocated to Seattle to tour
with the Screaming Trees; he soon began working
with a revolving lineup of musicians including the
Trees' Van Conner, Soundgarden's Matt Cameron, and
Dinosaur Jr.'s Mike Johnson, recording a series of
7"s originally issüd under the name Gamma Ray.
After rechristening the group Queens of the Stone
Age, Homme recruited Hernandez to begin work on
their self-titled debut LP, issüd in late 1998 on
Loosegroove; after the album was completed, Oliveri
left the Dwarves to rejoin his former bandmates,
with the subsequent addition of Catching rounding
out the roster. In addition to extensive touring,
Homme put together a series of albums for the indie
label Man's Ruin; the various volumes of the Desert
Sessions feature Homme's collaborations with a
loose-knit, revolving-door lineup of likeminded
musicians, some from bands like Soundgarden, Fu
Manchu, and Monster Magnet.

In mid-2000, Queens of the Stone Age issüd their
sophomore album, R (as in the movie rating; some
promo copies were distributed with the original
title, II), before appearing on that year's Ozzfest
tour. By that point, drummer Hernandez had been
replaced by a tag-team combo of Gene Troutman and
Nicky Lucero. The group built a healthy buzz
courtesy of accolades from such renowned
publications as Rolling Stone, and due to good
old-fashioned touring. 2001 saw the group perform
at the massive Rock in Rio festival (after which
Oliveri was arrested by the Brazilian police for
performing nude) and a spot on the year's Ozzfest.
The same year, Homme and Oliveri put together yet
another volume of the Desert Sessions series, while
QOTSA assembled a third studio album.

Ex-Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl was very vocal in the
press about his admiration of the Queens, which led
to an invitation for him to join the group for the
third album's recording and, subsequently,
supporting tour. Surprisingly, Grohl accepted,
putting the Foo Fighters on hold (despite having a
new album completed and ready to go). One of the
year's most eagerly anticipated hard rock albums,
Songs for the Deaf was issüd in August 2002 and
was preceded by a tour that saw Oliveri and Homme
joined by Grohl on drums, ex-Screaming Trees
vocalist Mark Lanegan, and A Perfect Circle
guitarist/keyboardist Troy Van Leeuwen. As if their
schedules weren't busy enough between QOTSA and
their other projects, Oliveri and Homme signed on
to pen the musical score to the movie The Dangerous
Lives of Altar Boys (with backing by Rage Against
the Machine drummer Brad Wilk), and formed a new
project, Headband, with ex-Marilyn Manson bassist
Twiggy Ramirez and Amen frontman Casey Chaos. Homme
also hooked up with old friend Jesse Hughes for
Eagles of Death Metal, which issüd the Peace Love
Death Metal LP in 2004. (Homme played drums.)

When QOTSA reconvened for the March 2005 LP
Lullabies to Paralyze, the lineup featured Homme,
Joey Castillo, Alain Johannes, Van Leeuwan, and
Lanegan. The Over the Years and Through the Woods
CD/DVD appeared in November that same year. It
featured live material from the band's tour for
Lullabies, but also included rare and archival
Queens footage. In 2007, the band (Lanegan at this
point was only a güst) released the excellent Era
Vulgaris, which also included contributions from
the Strokes' Julian Casablancas, among others.
