Killers of the Flower Moon had a remarkable amount of musician cameos: Jason Isbell, Randy Houser, Sturgill Simpson, and even Jack White all turned up. But Pete Yorn’s role may be the most literally explosive — the New Jersey singer-songwriter plays a mysterious hitman hired to blow up a house.
Yorn returns to his day job this week with the release of his new song “Someday, Someday.” It’s an introspective acoustic number that finds Yorn ruminating on a relationship that’s been relegated to the fringes of life, and features Rami Jaffee,...

Foo Fighters kicked off an Australian tour in Perth on Wednesday by playing a pair of rarities from 2007’s Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.
Most notably, Dave Grohl and co. staged the live debut of “Statues.” For the acoustic performance, Grohl was backed by guitarist Chris Shiflett and keyboardist Rami Jaffee.
Grohl then took the stage solo to play “Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners.” The song, was written about the 2006 Beaconsfield Mine collapse in Australia, was last played in concert in 2018. Recently, Grohl dusted the track off in the studio during an appearance on Norah Jones’ podcast.
All told, Foo Fighters ripped through a 25-song set that also included the tour debuts of “Stacked Actors” and “Arlandria” as well as a cover of AC/DC’s “Big Balls” featuring the band’s drum tech, Fiona, on lead vocals.

Foo Fighters busted out a portion of the Led Zeppelin opus “Stairway to Heaven” during a break in their headlining set at the Ohana Festival on Sunday (October 1st).
The surprise rendition took place toward the end of the set. Dave Grohl appeared to stop the show while a member of the audience apparently was receiving medical attention, and he broke the silence with the opening arpeggios of “Stairway.”
“Did you figure that shit out or do I have to play fucking ‘Stairway to Heaven’?” asked Grohl, apparently addressing festival staff while still playing the song’s intro. “‘Cause I’ll fucking play this motherfucker, you know that, right?”
The band fell in, with keyboardist Rami Jaffee adding the iconic mellotron flute accompaniment as Grohl sang the opening verse. Finally, whatever was causing the delay got sorted out, and Grohl cut the song off before the chord change.
“Is that situation figured out?...

On Tuesday (27 September), the 35-year-old singer joined a handful of musicians in Los Angeles, including Miley Cyrus, Travis Barker, and Dave Grohl, to honour Grohl’s late Foo Fighters bandmate Hawkins, who was found dead in his hotel room in Colombia in March.

Set in the present day, the film opens with Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl deciding that he wants to do something special for their upcoming tenth album, so he persuades the band to record in a Hollywood mansion that was once the site of another band’s grisly demise.

If you ever wanted to hang out with the Foo Fighters, and get killed by them, there’s only one game in town: “Studio 666,” a goofy horror comedy that, if nothing else, seems to have given the Foo Fighters a time-consuming little project to help get them through the pandemic.
The whole movie exists to waste a few hours away, chilling with one of the most popular rock bands in the world as they share their love of scary movies, act like dorks and eat an alarming number of Doritos.
“Studio 666” stars, in descending order of screen time, the Foo Fighters, Doritos snack chips, and Whitney Cummings. There are so many Doritos on-screen throughout “Studio 666” that we can only imagine that either a lot of money has changed hands or, like Joan Crawford before them, at least one of these so-called “fighters of foo” married into the...

Don’t be fooled: the Foo Fighters’ “Studio 666” is not some extended music video gimmick put out by Dave Grohl and company. It’s a real horror movie with a legit runtime, a plot and a script. And though they’re amazed the movie actually got finished and exists, Grohl isn’t fooling himself that they’re suddenly real actors either.
“First of all, it wasn’t that much of a stretch to be the Foo Fighters. You throw us backstage in a room, and we are a comedy troupe everywhere we go, that’s just what happens, for the last quarter of a century,” Grohl told TheWrap in an interview, the second part of which will be published Thursday. “And nobody is going for an Oscar here, by the way.

“This is our last show,” Dave Grohl announced at the outset of the Foo Fighters’ set Wednesday night at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. There was an awkward silence as the invited audience waited to see if there was a punchline coming or not. And there was: “Because now we’re fucking movie stars,” he declared.
Whether they have a Beatle-esque future in film comedy remains to be seen, but their first feature, “Studio 666,” is certainly light-hearted, in its own satanic way — think of it as “Help!” goes to hell — with a willingness to subject producer-stars who are playing themselves to a bloody body count not often seen since “Penn and Teller Get Killed.”
The after-party concert at the Fonda followed a premiere down the street of the horror-comedy, which has all five Foo Fighters members in starring roles, along with smaller parts or cameos for Whitney Cummings, Will Forte,...

Dave Grohl hasn’t sat still for more than 30 years, so it’s not much of a surprise that he’s ended up creating and starring in his own feature film.
As Pat Smear, one of the founders of L.A. punk legends The Germs, touring guitarist in Nirvana and a cornerstone of Grohl’s Foo Fighters, told him, “Drummers are like sharks, if they stop moving, they’ll die.”
In Studio 666, a horror comedy in the vein of The Evil Dead, perpetual movement doesn’t necessarily prevent death either. (Watch the trailer below.)
Grohl, who came up with the idea of the Open Road Films-distributed film that debuts theatrically on February 25, is a fascinating creature.
For some, he is best known as the drummer of Nirvana; for many he is the founder and frontman of Foo Fighters, a group that began as a solo project and turned into one of the most successful,...

Foo Fighters record an album in a haunted mansion in the trailer for the band’s horror-comedy film “Studio 666,” premiering in theaters on Feb. 25.
As the band writes and records new music, frontman Dave Grohl finds himself possessed by supernatural forces that threaten the completion of the album and the lives of the band.
The movie stars Foo Fighters members Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee, alongside Whitney Cummings, Will Forte, Jenna Ortega, Leslie Grossman and Jeff Garlin, with a cameo from Lionel Richie.
“This is not just a creepy rock ‘n’ roll house,” warns Cummings in the trailer. “It allows spiritual entities to cross into our world.”
Among the supernatural forces plaguing the band are a demonic possession, undead spirits and… amnesia, apparently.

“It’s times like these you learn to live again,” Dave Grohl sang Tuesday night, with clenched emotion, at the beginning of Foo Fighters’ first concert since a global pandemic snuffed out live music last March. He was backed, at first, only by church-like organ chords from keyboardist Rami Jaffee. As the tempo picked up and the full band slammed into “Times Like These,” with 16 months or so of pent-up energy, the already-sweaty crowd in the Canyon Club in Los Angeles roared, recognizing that a post-9/11 anthem had found new and profound resonance.

Nashville, Tenn. -- As producers are known to do, Jay Joyce called Jakob Dylan to discuss plans before they were scheduled to start recording The Wallflowers' first album in seven years.
Joyce was surprised when Dylan said he really didn't have anything.
"We had a couple of songs, nothing but a bunch of stuff on a laptop that I said, `This might sound like this. This might sound like this,'" Dylan recalled.
"But they were lyrics," Joyce said in mock protest.
"I was like, `This is what I got,'" Dylan, 42, said with a laugh.
The singer and producer got together recently in Nashville to talk about "Glad All Over," the first Wallflowers' album since 2005's "Rebel, Sweetheart." This time around the Grammy winners tried something different as Dylan – no longer comfortable with his lead songwriting role – took a step back and tried to blend into the band.

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl took to the group's Facebook page to set the record straight about rumors they're splitting up.
"There were times when I didn't think the band would survive," Grohl candidly admits in the post. "There were times when I wanted to give up. But... I can't give up this band. And I never will. Because it's not just a band to me. It's my life. It's my family. It's my world."
But Grohl does reveal that the Foos are taking a hiatus from recording and performing. Grohl set off concerns about the band's future after he declared their performance at this past Saturday's Global Citizens' Festival could be their last, telling the audience, "Without making a big deal out of it, we don't have any shows after this. This is it, man."
"I'm not sure when the Foo Fighters are going to play again," Grohl confirms in the Facebook post.
