Them Crooked Vultures, an American rock supergroup, emerged in Los Angeles in 2009, bringing together the formidable talents of Josh Homme (lead vocals and guitar), John Paul Jones (bass and keyboards), and Dave Grohl (drums and backing vocals). While their music diverges from traditional electronic and dance genres, their innovative fusion of rock elements brings a unique energy to the broader music scene. With Alain Johannes accompanying the group on guitar for live performances, their dynamic stage presence and masterful musicianship captivate audiences worldwide.
Their self-titled debut album, released in 2009, showcases their ability to blend hard rock, alternative, and psychedelic influences, making a significant impact on the rock music landscape. Though Them Crooked Vultures primarily operate within the rock sphere, their experimental approach and the members' individual histories with genre-blending projects contribute to the evolution of contemporary music, influencing a wide range of artists across genres, including electronic and dance music creators seeking to incorporate live instrumentations and rock sensibilities into their sound.
