Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme jumped into the pit at a Distillers show in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Palladium on Saturday. His wife, Brody Dalle, fronts the band.
Homme recently told Brisbane Times, “My Australian wife, Brody Dalle, can spit 30 feet and punch like a guy. She is my punk-rock dream girl. I always thought if I could go out with a chick with a mohawk who also read philosophy, I’d be winning. Brody is the real deal. She does everything the boys can do and a whole slew of things no boy ever could.
“I met Brody when she was 17 and I was 23. It was her first day in the US after relocating from Melbourne and I was playing guitar in the Screaming Trees. She came up to me backstage and asked if I was in Kyuss. We talked for an hour and a half and I never forgot her.
“I didn’t like her ex [Tim Armstrong from Rancid], so I lied and said I had made out with her in the hope that he would find out. I didn’t see her again until seven years later.
“Our bands played the Big Day Out in Australia in 2003. I was with someone in a casual way but had my eye out for Brody and saw her walking past. I pretended I didn’t see her and tried to be cool. From that moment we clicked and it was on. We’ve been together ever since. I never thought I would get married, but I found someone I couldn’t live without.”
