Rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures say they will release a new album in 2010.
The band - consisting of Foo Fighters' front man Dave Grohl, Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones - released their debut album in November last year to almost universal acclaim, and they played two blistering shows in New Zealand over the weekend.
Speaking to Stuff.co.nz before their Auckland show on Saturday night, Jones promised a second Them Crooked Vultures album would be released in late 2010.
"We'll do a second album this year," Jones, 63, confirmed. "By the end of summer, something like that."
Asked whether the other members of Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age wanted their front men back, Jones said they'd get them "eventually".
"I haven't really stolen them - it's Dave's baby, it's his fault," he said. "They'll get them back - one day."
Jones said he was excited to be part of the Vultures and admitted the band's success had helped make up for Led Zeppelin fans disappointed by the lack of a full-scale reunion.
"(Zeppelin fans) have been disappointed a long time - they're getting used to it ... I think they're enjoying (the Vultures). It doesn't sound like Led Zeppelin but it's got a similar sort of vibe. It's a groovy, exciting rock band"
Chemistry, hard work and "people who know what they are doing" were the key elements to a successful rock act, Jones said.
"We're all hard workers. In a way we need to do this, for ourselves. Once we committed to it we worked as hard as a young band would, put the hours in.
"It's got to be good - we've got reputations to uphold more than anything else."

Hey Chris, you have made the big time, Antiquiet have used your interview to confirm new TCV album. Somewhat of a surprise since JPJ had already talked about it with NME last year, but anyway, well done.

I think you will find the most overhyped album of all time would be Guns N Roses Chinese Democracy.
This album IS a great album.
I look forward to their second one which will no doubt be AS good.
TCV agreed to write a new album last Fri here in Welly. It's because of Josh Homme's muse named Hayley. It's the hottest story in town!
loved the way Josh was smoking the whole concert @ Wgtn...maybe he was told NOT to??!!
Rock an Roll..Vutures rule!
Chris Schultz, you are *so* much better than that joke of a columnist, sweetman.
Saw TCV at Vector & was pretty disappointed about the fact that the venue was only half to three quarters full, it was such a good gig.
@Richard - Dude, it's not Alice in Chains, its a cover band, just like INXS or Fuel. And TCV is a great album. It's top notch.
Can't wait for the new material, if it's along the same lines (which highway one suggested), it'll be RAD!
The only reason it would be up for album of the decade speak is because there's not a lot better, compared ot prior decades.
Excellent - am very impressed with their sound...
"released their debut album in November last year to almost universal acclaim"
Sweetman strikes again!
Missed their show this time so hoping they come back soon!
