Since then, even as Queens of the Stone Age have built a rabid fanbase worldwide and, with the release of last year’s justly celebrated Songs For the Deaf, ascended from cult favorite to gold-record status in America, Homme has continued holding Desert Sessions and releasing the finished songs through various independent record labels.
