Dave Grohl et al start band

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones and Queens Of The Stone Age singer/guitarist Josh Homme have started a new group, with Grohl playing drums. According to Spinner.com, Grohl talked about starting the band as far back as a 2005 interview with Mojo magazine. A source told us that the trio has already completed work on their debut album in Los Angeles, although a name for the band and a release plan for the record have yet to be nailed down.

Grohl has played with both artists before. Jones conducted an orchestra behind Foo Fighters at the Grammy Awards, while he and Jimmy Page also joined the band onstage last year at England's Wembley Stadium.

Grohl also played drums on Queens Of The Stone Age's 2002 album, Songs For The Deaf.

Jones has kept a relatively low profile since Led Zeppelin's one-off reunion show in December 2007, while Homme has mostly been on the road behind the most recent Queens album, 2007's Era Vulgaris.

Foo Fighters have been on vacation since finishing the touring cycle for their sixth effort, 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.
