The current line-up consists of Homme alongside Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita, and Jon Theodore. The band also have a large pool of contributors and collaborators. Queens of the Stone Age are known for their blues, Krautrock and electronica-influenced style of riff-oriented and rhythmic hard rock music, coupled with Homme's distinct falsetto vocals and unorthodox guitar scales. Formed after the dissolution of Homme's previous band Kyuss, the band originated from the Palm Desert music scene, known for its distinct "desert rock" sound and highly collaborative nature. Their self-titled debut album was recorded by former Kyuss bandmates Alfredo Hernández on drums and Homme on all other instruments.
