QOTSA: another brace of same-night London shows

No-nonsense rockers Queens of the Stone Age are at it again with another multi-show night in London. In addition to their scheduled date in the Somerset House Series on Thursday 7th July at 7.30, they have now scheduled a further late night rock séance at KOKO from 1am into the early hours.

From the unlikely surroundings of Somerset House, originally the site of a 16th Century Tudor palace, now home to the Inland Revenue, to another entirely different former palace in Camden; the equally exquisite Koko where they will follow on from the Sons and Daughters and Radio One's DJ Zane Lowe warming up the crowds from 9 to play on until the early hours.

This isn't the first time QOTSA have scheduled an all-nighter in testament to their harder-than-the-average-band ethos (though perhaps they feel like they having something to prove since dispensing of nutter bassist Nick Oliveri) and with a gig owing to Koko after their cancelation of a show earlier this year it's perhaps unsurprising that the Stone Age have added a smaller, perhaps more fan oriented, night to appease any put-out QOTSA fans in London. (Though tickets won't be valid from the canceled date to this new show and ticket holders for that occasion still need to seek refunds which are still available.)

I'm there. doors don't open till 9 tho. unless zipper's taking to prerecording his radio show, and i don't think he's stooped that low... yet...

Re: QOTSA: another brace of same-night London shows

Yeah the doors are at 9, tickets to be picked up from the box office from 7. Should be interesting anyway, hopefully good...

Re: QOTSA: another brace of same-night London shows

QOTSA: another brace of same-night London shows

Man... I am going to be in a STATE the next day at work...

Re: QOTSA: another brace of same-night London show

I'm going both wooh

I just hope Sons And Daughters don't start too early. I don't want to be sitting on a bus/tube on the way from Somerset House when they're playing. Hopefully Zane Lowe will do like a three hour DJ set first that I'll miss.

Koko is open till 6am on thursdays. Madness I tells you.

Im still SO HAPPY!! :)

I hope they play loadsa songs for the deaf and rated R with maybe a few Lullabies tracks for good measure...I will be willing to bet my house they play Feel Good Hit of The Summer. (not real life bets tho)

This will be the first Queens gig ive ever seen! immense. And so good esp after being so pissed they pulled out of the gigs earlier this year....> safe Josh for getting your bleeding lungs working again for us. I'll miss Nick though - his Mondo Generator performances with the Boys Deal where great, the man IS stage presence. happy

Re: QOTSA: another brace of same-night London show

Homme is on Zane Lowe's show tonight and apparently "has something to get off his chest"

In today's timeout he says he didn't fire Nick because of the drugs and occasional fighting.

Tres interessant.

Nick fucked Brody? Nick fucked Josh?

Re: QOTSA: another brace of same-night London show

Zane's Gonzo on MTV2 or Radio1 show?? I lost my MTV ages ago.... :(

Nick'll be back with them soon i reckon. *cross fingers

QOTSA: another brace of same-night London shows

Radio one

Nick is coming back for Somerset House, hah. Imagine that.

QOTSA: another brace of same-night London shows

Somerset House isn't a Tudor building, its 18th Century.

Re: QOTSA: another brace of same-night London shows

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! fucking terorrist FUCKS! :(

QOTSA: another brace of same-night London shows

Jeez, there's bigger things to worry about than a QOTSA gig being cancelled...

Re: QOTSA: another brace of same-night London shows

^TRUE. :(

Im so pissed about this as much as the next person - my pops works up in Moorgate and it could very easily beeen him caught up in all this shit! 'We shall prevail, they shall not' in the words of TB. Im so angry. Obviously safety first though....
