Them Crooked Vultures sets album release date

NEW YORK (Billboard) - After much speculation, rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures has announced November 17 as the release date for its debut album.

Bandmates Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) will put the self-produced and self-titled release out on DGC/Interscope Records.

It is rumoured that the first single from "Them Crooked Vultures" will be "New Fang," a song slated to hit radio Monday (October 26). The band's representative would not confirm or deny that report, however.

Them Crooked Vultures emerged as one of the year's most anticipated acts after a debut gig at Chicago's Metro in August. Though details on any recorded output have been scant until now, the band has been releasing small snippets of its studio sessions.

Earlier this month, Them Crooked Vultures played a small series of gigs in the U.S., including the opening night of Austin City Limits.
