Queens Of The Stone Age Film: “Alive In The Catacombs” Screens In June
Queens Of The Stone Age will screen “Queens Of The Stone Age: Alive In The Catacombs” on June 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th at theatres in 20 different countries.
The audiovisual document of the band’s long-rumored performance in the famed Catacombs of Paris was filmed in ’24. QOTSA frontman Josh Homme had dreamt of staging performance in the Catacombs since his first visit nearly 20 years ago.
“We’re so stripped down because that place is so stripped down, which makes the music so stripped down, which makes the words so stripped down,” explained Homme. “It would be ridiculous to try to Rock there. All those decisions were made by that space. That space dictates everything; it’s in charge. You do what you’re told when you’re in there.”
The only U.S. screening will be on June 4th at Brain Dead Studios in L.A. with an exclusive appearance by Homme. He will introduce the film and follow the screening with a question-and-answer session. All proceeds will be donated to Homme’s own The Sweet Stuff Foundation.
