QOTSA Brawl With Dwarves

Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme struck Dwarves singer Blag Dahlia over the head with a beer bottle after barging backstage at the Dragonfly club Wednesday night, according to eyewitnesses.

Although the blow caused bleeding, Blag performed as planned. After the show, his wife drove him to St. Mary's Hospital in Hollywood, where he received stitches and was released early Thursday morning. Police were not called, but security promptly removed Homme from the venue.

"He seemed very angry," says Dahlia. "It was almost as if somebody made him listen to one of his records."

Homme's beef with the Dwarves possibly stems from the veteran punks' "Massacre," off their new album The Dwarves Must Die. The song includes the lyrics, "This one goes out to Queens of the Trust Fund/You slept on my floor/And now I'm sleeping through your motherfucking album." Bassist Nick Oliveri, who was kicked out of QOTSA in February, guests on the track.

Calls to Homme's representative were not returned by press time.
