Out of the ashes of Kyuss, The Screaming Trees and a number of other insanely talented dirty rock bands rose the musical powerhouse known as Queens Of The Stone Age. Over a decade of experience has moulded this act into a phenomenal clutter of grunge-laced, stoner rock, which swings violently from mellow croons to jagged snarls, all delivered over brusque guitar work and pounding drum beats and bass lines. Rough-as-hell and devilishly captivating, QOTSA will make their way back to Australian shores on the back of last year's amazing Era Vulgaris album to corrupt the young and impressionable once more.
Touring as part of the V Festival, the band have set aside dates for sideshows, and tickets to these performances are all but sold out, but fortunately for Brisbane, there are still limited tickets available through Ticketmaster. Even if you plan on watching them at V Fest, we highly recommend heading to their headlining show, where the band and the crowd will both undoubtedly be in their element, and in the process witness these hard 'n' heavy legends continue their climb to superstardom.
