Question: Which is from farther west, U2 or Queens of the Stone Age?
Context: Gamma Ray is the debut EP by Gamma Ray, a musical project by former Kyuss guitarist Josh Homme, released in 1996 by Man's Ruin Records.  After the breakup of Kyuss in 1995, Homme recorded the Gamma Ray material in Seattle with producer Chris Goss, bassist Van Conner, and drummer Victor Indrizzo.  Former Kyuss singer John Garcia contributed backing vocals to the track "Born to Hula".  After the release of the EP, Homme received a cease and desist order because the name Gamma Ray was already in use by a German band.  He changed the name of the project to Queens of the Stone Age, and both of the "Gamma Ray" tracks were re-released the following year by Man's Ruin on the "Kyuss / Queens of the Stone Age" split EP, which featured some of the final studio recordings by Kyuss and debuted the "Queens of the Stone Age" moniker for Homme's new project.  The split EP also included a third track from the "Gamma Ray" recording sessions, "Spiders and Vinegaroons". U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin formed in 1976.  The group consists of Bono (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), the Edge (lead guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums and percussion).  Initially rooted in post-punk, U2's musical style evolved throughout their career, yet has maintained an anthemic sound built on Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's effects-based guitar textures.  Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal and sociopolitical themes.  Popular for their live performances, the group have staged several ambitious and elaborate tours over their career. Kyuss / Queens of the Stone Age is an EP by the American rock bands Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age, released in December 1997 on Man's Ruin Records.  It features some of the final studio recordings by Kyuss while debuting guitarist Josh Homme's next project, Queens of the Stone Age. Tchoiria is a genus of simoedosaurid choristodere, a type of crocodile-like aquatic reptile.  Fossils of this genus have been found in Early Cretaceous-age rocks in Mongolia.  Four species have been named, but two have been given their own genera.  The type species is "T. namsari", based on PIN 3386/1, a partial skull and skeleton discovered in the Aptian-age Lower Cretaceous Hühteeg Formation at Hüren Dukh, central Mongolia.  Two other species were named from this locality, with both later being reassigned: "T. egloni", now "Irenosaurus egloni"; and "T. magnus", now "Ikechosaurus magnus".  A fourth species, "T. klauseni", was named from a partial skull and skeleton found in rocks of roughly the same age farther west in Mongolia. Stone Age Complication is an EP by Queens of the Stone Age containing six B-sides and cover versions.  Josh Homme has stated that this is the only Queens of the Stone Age album released without any input from him or the band. Eureka is a small research base on Fosheim Peninsula, Ellesmere Island, Qikiqtaaluk Region, in the Canadian territory of Nunavut.  It is located on the north side of Slidre Fiord, which enters Eureka Sound farther west.  It is the third-northernmost permanent research community in the world.  The only two farther north are Alert, which is also on Ellesmere Island, and Nord, in Greenland.  Eureka has the lowest average annual temperature and the lowest amount of precipitation of any weather station in Canada. Queens of the Stone Age is the eponymous debut album by American rock band Queens of the Stone Age, released in September 1998 by Loosegroove Records.  It was primarily written and recorded by founding member Josh Homme and his former Kyuss bandmate Alfredo Hernández, with Hernández playing drums and Homme singing and playing the rest of the instrumentation as well as producing the album alongside Joe Barresi.  By the time of the album's release, bassist Nick Oliveri, also a former member of Kyuss, would join the band.  "Queens of the Stone Age" received generally positive reviews from critics, who placed it in the stoner rock genre and drew comparisons to krautrock bands such as Can and Neu!  as well as to Kyuss and other metal bands. Queens of the Stone Age (sometimes shortened to QotSA or Queens) is an American rock band formed in 1996 in Palm Desert, California.  The band's line-up includes founder Josh Homme (lead vocals, guitar, piano), alongside longtime members Troy Van Leeuwen (guitar, lap steel, keyboard, percussion, backing vocals), Michael Shuman (bass guitar, keyboard, backing vocals), Dean Fertita (keyboards, guitar, percussion, backing vocals), and recent addition Jon Theodore (drums, percussion). Queens of the Stone Age (also known as QOTSA or simply Queens) are a rock band from Palm Desert, California, United States, formed in 1997.  The band frequently changes its line-up, and its records often include guest appearances.  The only permanent member of the band is founder Josh Homme, with guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen having been a member since the release of the band's third studio album, "Songs for the Deaf", in 2002.  Bassist Michael Shuman and keyboardist and guitarist Dean Fertita both joined the band in 2007 to tour in support of its fifth studio album, "Era Vulgaris" (2007).  In 2013, Queens of the Stone Age added drummer Jon Theodore during the recording of the album "...Like Clockwork" (2013). In archeology, lithic technology refers to a broad array of techniques and styles to produce usable tools from various types of stone.  The earliest stone tools were recovered from modern Ethiopia and were dated to between two-million and three-million years old.  The archaeological record of lithic technology is divided into three major time periods: the Paleolithic (Old Stone Age), Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age), and Neolithic (New Stone Age).  Not all cultures in all parts of the world exhibit the same pattern of lithic technological development, and stone tool technology continues to be used to this day, but these three time periods represent the span of the archaeological record when lithic technology was paramount.  By analysing modern stone tool usage within an ethnoarchaeological context insight into the breadth of factors influencing lithic technologies in general may be studied.  See: Stone tool.  For example, for the Gamo of Southern Ethiopia, political, environmental, and social factors influence the patterns of technology variation in different subgroups of the Gamo culture; through understanding the relationship between these different factors in a modern context, archaeologists can better understand the ways that these factors could have shaped the technological variation that is present in the archaeological record.
