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 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.

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

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

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....
