Having wrapped up their "Duluth Tour" of America's smaller cities like Missoula, Mont. (home of the Testicle Festival) and Fargo, N.D. (home of fictional sociopaths), Queens of the Stone Age have already headed out to fulfull a medium-to-large city schedule. Delivering the live goods to promote their latest album, Era Vulgaris, the Queens will share a stage with Louisiana band Dax Riggs through September and Scottish group Biffy Clyro through October.

Apparently QotSA like to tour with folks whose names make them sound like regulars at a trucker bar. "Hoo boy, you shoulda' seen them wimmens Riggs 'n Cly-ro brought to the Flatbed last weeken'!"
