QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE …LIKE CLOCKWORK #1 RECORD IN THE U.S., AUSTRALIA, IRELAND & PORTUGAL

TOP 10 IN 12 MORE COUNTRIES

NEW NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES CONFIRMED

“(A) … a heft not heard since 2002’s breakthrough Songs For The Deaf, but the main event is always Homme’s bombastic riffage and desert-blasted end-of-the-world croon”–ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“a mini epic that shows they’re much more than just headbangers… they bring to mind David Bowie for a new age”–PEOPLE

“(FOUR STARS)… an exquisitely grizzled good time…”–ROLLING STONE

“a genuine revival, reminding us why we were compelled to bow down in front of Homme’s Queens in the first place.”–SOUND+VISION

“a heady, sinister brew of emotional pull and darkly beautiful melodies”–USA TODAY

In an all too rare confluence of events, the undisputed best rock record of the year is also the #1 selling record in the country: Queens Of The Stone Age’s universally acclaimed …Like Clockwork (Matador) has entered the U.S. Top 200 at #1 with more than 90,000 copies sold in the week since its June 4 release. The debut marks the Queens’ first #1 and nearly doubles the first week tally of the band’s previous album, 2007’s Era Vulgaris.

Produced by Joshua Homme and QOTSA, recorded by Mark Rankin with additional engineering by Alain Johannes and Justin Smith, at Josh’s studio, Pink Duck, in Burbank, CA, …Like Clockwork is the sixth–and if critical consensus is to be believed, best–Queens Of The Stone Age album. The world would seem to agree, as the record has also gone #1 in Australia, Ireland and Portgual, #2 in the UK, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, Finland and New Zealand,  #3 in Holland and Austria, #4 in Denmark and top 10 in Germany, France, and Spain.

QOTSA founder Homme and his cohorts  Troy Van Leeuwen, Dean Fertita, Michael Shuman and Jon Theodore have just announced a slew of new North American dates expanding the world tour in support of …Like Clockwork. Pre-sales for the new dates, which beginSeptember 10 in Toronto and run through October 9 in Tulsa, begin Wednesday, June 12 at 10 a.m. local time. General on-sales followFriday, June 14 at 10 a.m. local time, with the exception of Toronto, Nashville and Detroit – all of which are on sale the 21st.

LIVE AT LETTERMAN FULL CONCERT WEBCAST 9:00 p.m. EST at http://www.cbs.com/shows/liveonletterman/

“…about a man at the border of life and death, with everything at stake, and that’s exactly how it sounds.”–THE NEW YORK TIMES

“Is there a more debonair dirtball in rock than Josh Homme? The Queens of the Stone Age <http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/queens-of-the-stone-age> frontman is the high priest of grimy rock tradition, exalting in exquisitely wrought guitar scraping and wry machismo… Yet for all his demon-steed drive, Homme’s a versatile guy – he coos as persuasively as he howls, and few can rain down metal decay with as much nuance and craft.”–ROLLING STONE

“…Like Clockwork is the soundtrack to the B movie of your dreams… Homme and his cohorts create merry hell as Lucifer’s house band.”–THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

“…does everything a good rock record should — wringing new blood from classic forms and sounding absolutely sexy and a little scary while doing it…

Homme is one of the few singers and lyricists today who know that rock ‘n’ roll is built on a mix of menace and dark humor, and almost every track on …Like Clockwork has a moment that makes you want to drive to Joshua Tree, pound some beers and start fires in the shape of pentagrams.”-THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

“kicks like a mule even when it dresses like a queen.”–PITCHFORK

“Surrendering to its strange charms could be one of the smartest decisions you make this year.”–ALTERNATIVE PRESS

Hear ye hear ye, all those who still believe in rock n roll: your favorite album of 2013 is released today, June 4: Queens Of The Stone Age’s epic …Like Clockwork (Matador) is finally available for purchase today, everywhere, anytime at iTunes http://itunes.com/qotsa, Amazon http://smarturl.it/QOTSAamazon or your local Indie Store (search here http://matadorrecords.com/indie/qotsa/likeclockwork) …and it is every bit as good as the reviews say, if not more so.

Produced by Joshua Homme and QOTSA, recorded by Mark Rankin with additional engineering by Alain Johannes and Justin Smith, at Josh’s studio, Pink Duck, in Burbank, CA, …Like Clockwork is the sixth–and by critical consensus, arguably best–Queens Of The Stone Age album.

QOTSA mainman Homme and his cohorts  Troy Van Leeuwen, Dean Fertita, Michael Shuman and Jon Theodore have already begun touring extensively in support of …Like Clockwork.
