Alain Johannes is a recent member of the Queens family, joining in 2005. Johannes plays guitar and bass for QOTSA on Lullabies to Paralyze and toured with the group in support of that album later that year and in 2006. Alain has appeared on Dessert Session albums 7-10 and co-wrote "Hangin' Tree" on "Songs for the Deaf".
Alain and Natasha Schneider (who also plays with the Queens), along with
Jack Irons, formed the band "Eleven." Eleven has released five albums since 1991. The most recent work was "Howling Book", put out in 2003.
Johannes was also a significant contributor to Chris Cornell's 1999 solo album, "Euphoria Morning", and was the only other contributor on the 1996 debut album by Jason Falkner, "Jason Falkner Presents Author Unknown".
Johannes is endorsed by Line 6 Amplifiers, and is listed as a user of the Flextone series of amps. No one seems to be quite sure whether he played bass on QOTSA's upcoming album, as rumors of Jesse Keeler's (from Death From Above 1979) involvement persist.
