Josh Homme, Eddie Vedder, Julian Casablancas appear on compilation album, Live From Nowhere Near You, Vol. II

Antiquiet has got itself a track featuring Queens of the Stone Age frontman, Josh Homme, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Julian Casablancas… Read More

Watch: Eddie Vedder plays “Without You” on Letterman

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

Monday night had some pretty good late-night performances. Colbert had Bon Iver and David Letterman invited Eddie Vedder and his ukelele, Clarence, to come on play a track from Vedder's new release, Ukelele Songs.
It's cool to see Vedder sitting alone on stage with an instrument that, for the Pearl Jam frontman, isn't one that necessarily shows the power that he has when he's playing songs like "Even Flow" or "Betterman" in front of thousands of people but still commands your attention. Vedder is one… Read More

You've got the upcoming 20th anniversary festival in September as well as a documentary and a book coming out. But the precursor to all the hoopla and celebration comes in the form of a ukelele and Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder playing the shit out of it.
