Queens of the Stone Age frontman, Josh Homme, has joined Australian ARIA winning blues guitarist, C.W. Stoneking for a Christmas collaboration to be released later this month, all in the name of charity.
The 7-inch single A-side features a rendition of “Silent Night” the two artists recorded during QOTSA’s 2017 Australian tour, while the B-side is said to contain an adorable reading of the “Twas the Night Before Christmas” featuring Homme’s wife, Brody Dalle - of Aussie band, The Distillers – and their “three merry-making elves” (i.e. their children).
The boys are clearly brimming with festive spirit, donating all proceeds from the single between two charities - The Sweet Stuff Foundation, a non-profit created by Homme in 2013, providing assistance to career musicians, recording engineers, and their families struggling with illness and disability; and Support Act, an alliance with a similar mission founded in 1997 in Australia by AMCOS, APRA, ARIA and PPCA.
The "Silent Night" single will be released digitally on December 7th, with a limited-edition vinyl run being released the following week on December 14th.
Check out the band’s website to access exclusive pre-order details for their self-professed “Christmas miracle on vinyl”.
