QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE released a 5-track EP last June, called Alive In The Catacombs, recorded in the literal catacombs, the old cemetery tunnels under
Paris. Five old, stripped-to-the-bone, songs.
The recordings were filmed, capturing the band as you’ve never seen or heard them before, with each song carefully chosen and reimagined to reflect the darkly atmospheric ambience and natural resonances of the Catacombs. The result is an unprecedented incarnation of Queens Of The Stone Age at their most intimate.
The film is available to download. Info here.
This week QOTSA appeared on The Tonight Show with Jim Fallon and played
the opening medley of the EP, featuring Running Joke from 2007’s Era Vulgaris
album, and Paper Machete from 2023’s In Times New Roman.
Shine a light, Josh.
