The Alternative-Rock act Eagles Of Death Metal started out in 1998 as
a crotch Rock side-project for Palm Desert, California USA-based singer
+ guitarist Josh Homme, perhaps better known as frontman of Queens
Of The Stone Age and Jesse 'The Devil' Hughes on guitar + drums &
vocals.
After recruiting guitarist Timmy VanHamel, the band kicked off their
first tour in late 2003 playing dates with Placebo.
A few months later, in March 2004 to be exact, "Peace Love Death
Metal" came out on AntAcidAudio/Rekords Rekords; their debut full-length
disc reached the #34 position on the Billboard's Top Independent Albums
chart.
In the fall of 2005 Homme and Hughes were joined in the studio by the
hilarious Jack Black from Tenacious D,
The Distillers frontwoman and wife of
Homme Brody Dalle, Mark Lanegan formerly Screaming
Trees' guitarist, ex-Hole Samantha Maloney
and Joey Castillo on drums to record Eagles Of Death Metal's sophomore
CD, the diabolical "Death By Sexy"; it was released in April
2006 through Downtown Records and eventually reached #113 on The Billboard
200 also making a remarkable #11 on the U.S. Independent Albums chart.
Despite critical acclaim, the lead single, "I Want You So Hard (Boy's
Bad News)", failed to breach the Modern Rock Top 40.
In late October 2008 Eagles Of Death Metal released "Heart On",
it peaked at #57 on the U.S. Billboard Top 200 and ascended into the top
3 of the country's Independent Albums chart, while the first single, "Wannabe
In L.A.", hit the top 40 of The Hot Modern Rock Tracks.
