The joys of the internet were once again pushed to the forefront of some music-lovers' consciousness this week.
Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters and Nirvana and John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin have formed Them Crooked Vultures and already the band's sound are the subject of much internet speculation.
Them Crooked Vultures have their first tour date, or so they say through their Facebook page. One would think this would be a handy source for up-to-the-minute info, but the band are curiously only releasing very sporadic details.
For example, the supergroup are set to play a show in Chicago on August 9, but offered limited ticket information on a minimalistic page and have not previewed any tracks. Reportedly, the gig sold out in three hours.
The Myspace page contains no tracks either.
One blog, Antiquiet, revealed that a YouTube video and clip from the band's first track were said to sadly be a hoax but did confirm that the gig was real.
Until then, Them Crooked Vultures fans will wait with bated breath as they learn that top social network sites only add to this band's mystery.
