“Some bands are better than others. Chord by chord, line by line, beat by beat, hook by glorious hook, none is as convincing in 2013 as the Queens of the Stone Age.”–THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

“No prancing, no dancing: just pure cathartic blasts of desert rock.”–ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY “The 15 Biggest Tours”

Rightfully hailed in ROLLING STONE as one of The 50 Greatest Live Acts Right Now and continuing a relentless roll of headline shows at venues from Red Rocks in Colorado to rock n roll’s last stand at Los Angeles’ Gibson Amphitheater, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE has confirmed the biggest east coast play of the epic U.S. run supporting the international #1 album …Like Clockwork (Matador):

On December 14 Brooklyn, New York’s Barclays Center will be designated as a (relatively) twerk-free-zone as QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE will play its debut headline engagement at the arena, restricting teddy bears to the merch table and returning guitars, drums and other such live instruments to the Barclays stage. For those who need reminding what this might look like, check this recent live clip of …Like Clockwork single “I Sat By The Ocean”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWIQ-7nNYNw&feature=youtu.be (Embed code: <iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/NWIQ-7nNYNw” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>)
