Tenacious D, PJ Harvey to headline QotSA benefit show

Tomorrow (Aug. 16), Queens of the Stone Age will be holding a benefit concert for Eleven's Natasha Shneider, at Los Angeles' Harvey Theater. Shneider, who supported QotSA on their 2005 tour, died of cancer earlier this Summer. Proceeds from the show will go towards paying Shneider's medical expenses.

Joining them to "perform songs from the limits of the QotSA catalog and beyond" are Tenacious D, PJ Harvey, Matt Cameron of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, Jesse Hughes of the Eagles of Death Metal, Chris Goss, Billy F. Gibbons of ZZ Top,  Alan Johannes of Eleven, and Brody Dalle of the Distillers.

If you can't make it to the show but still want to contribute, there's a memorial website set up for Shneider where you can make donations.
