The debut album from Them Crooked Vultures, now out in some parts of the world, still has one day to go before it can be sold in North America. Fans in the Los Angeles area can catch John Paul Jones and his bandmates at the Roxy in Hollywood tonight for a surprise show announced only today although it was rumored for the past few weeks.
Tickets to today's show must be purchased on site; limit two per person. Customers must enter immediately after purchasing tickets, and there is no re-entry. It hasn't been stated what time tickets go on sale or what time the show is -- just that you won't be allowed to line up before 2 p.m.
As previously announced, Them Crooked Vultures will play at the Wiltern in Los Angeles tomorrow, on the day of the album release. At least three more U.S. shows are scheduled -- in Oakland, Seattle and Portland -- before December, when the band heads back across the Atlantic for some shows in continental Europe and a U.K. tour.
Jason Bonham
Jason Bonham, son of the late John "Bonzo" Bonham, does not take lightly the responsibility of carrying on his father's legacy. Having made a head start at drumming while he was a child, Jason is now passing on the same lessons to a third generation of Bonham drummers.
John Bonham's death in 1980 left such an impact on the surviving members of Led Zeppelin that they knew immediately they could not continue as they were. Yet Jason Bonham's familiarity with the band made him a shoe-in to join his father's bandmates on the few occasions reunion concerts have taken place.
This year marked the 20th anniversary of Bonham's most successful album release to date, the Platinum-certified disc The Disregard of Timekeeping released by his band, Bonham. To mark the milestone, he recently toured with a new band and played under the banner of "An Evening with Jason Bonham."
In the past, Bonham has also toured and/or recorded with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Foreigner, UFO, Paul Rodgers, Joe Bonamassa, Virginia Wolf, Airrace, Healing Sixes and Motherland. He also acted in the movie Rock Star and appeared on the reality TV show "SuperGroup."
