Queens of the Stone Age play Baloise Session
Queens of the Stone Age (QOTSA) is an American rock band founded in 1996 by Josh Homme. They are known for their characteristic mix of stoner rock, alternative and hard rock with catchy riffs and powerful vocals. The band has gained a firm place in the rock scene through changing members and collaborations with well-known musicians such as Dave Grohl. Queens of the Stone Age are considered one of the most influential bands in modern rock and have inspired many bands with their unique sound. The concert at the Baloise will be unplugged. For this unique performance, the band has rearranged their songs and largely dispensed with electric amplification. Supported by a string trio and unconventional instruments such as chains and chopstick percussion, an intimate atmosphere is created. Only an electric piano is powered by a car battery.
