Queens Of The Stone Age announced the launch of a dedicated complaint hotline on Wednesday, August 5. The band introduced the service as a 24/7 platform for fans, friends, and foes to voice any grievances they may have.
“Call the Queens Of The Stone Age complaint hotline and get heard!” the band said. “You know better, now’s your chance.”
“No bitching too big. No whiny too tiny,” they continued. “All complaints are reviewed personally.”
The new hotline offers round-the-clock access. Callers can dial in at any hour of the day or night to get things off their chest. The band encouraged callers to dial +1 (760) 437-1966 to air their gripes and grievances, moans and groans, as well as any judgments they wish to pass.
The number is based in the 760 area code. It covers parts of Southern California including the Coachella Valley, a region closely tied to the band’s desert rock roots. There is also the possibility of a live person answering the call.
The hotline appears to be the latest in a series of unconventional promotional moves from the band. Queens Of The Stone Age have long been known for their offbeat sense of humor. This hotline keeps in line with their irreverent public persona. The press release announcing the service was written in a playful tone, mirroring the band’s signature style.
Fans have already begun sharing their experiences dialing the number on social media. Some have reported that they were able to leave voicemails. The band has not yet indicated how long the hotline will remain active. It is also unclear what they plan to do with the collected complaints.
