Queens of the Stone Age Announce ‘Alive in the Catacombs’ Concert Film, Album
Queens of the Stone Age have announced the release of their unique live performance in the Catacombs of Paris as a concert film and album.
The unique nature of the location results in Homme and his bandmates – Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore – being backed by three-piece string section as they perform a stripped-back set planned and played with deference to the Catacombs. Notably, this isn’t Queens of the Stone Age’s first subterranean gig, with the group previously performing 2,300 feet underground at German salt mine, Erlebnisbergwerk Sondershausen, in November 2007. Originally planned for wider release, the semi-acoustic performance is yet to see the light of day, with the band’s split with Interscope Records assumed by fans to be the reason for its indefinite delay.
