Stranger Things Have Happened

HOOOOOORAY!!!!!!!! News on the Foo Fighters front.

Dave Grohl led his band through a short set on the White House's
South Lawn, performing before President Obama and 1,200 invited
active military troops and their families at a USO-sponsored 4th
of July party. On the setlist was "Wheels" one of two brand new
Foo Fighters tunes that the band recorded in the studio with
producer Butch Vig for inclusion on a greatest hits collection
planned for release this November.

[ there was video of this BUT it was taken down... boo! ]

In the meantime...
It's a rock'n'roll obsessive's wet dream: Foo Fighters
frontman Dave Grohl, Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones,
and Queens of the Stone Age bandleader Josh Homme are
working on a new album -- together!

The collaboration has been in the works since Grohl first
mentioned it in a 2005 interview: "The next project that
I'm trying to initiate involves me on drums, Josh Homme on
guitar, and John Paul Jones playing bass.
That's the next album."

If Grohl is indeed manning drum duties for the new supergroup,
it would be his first time behind the kit on record since
lending his talents to recent albums by the Prodigy and
Juliette and the Licks. As you might recall, he also
backed Paul McCartney at this year's Grammy Awards on the
Beatles classic "I Saw Her Standing There".

While Queens of the Stone Age have been on hiatus and Homme
has been working with the Arctic Monkeys on their next
release, and Led Zeppelin's much-discussed reunion plans
have been scuttled, Grohl has been keeping himself quite busy.
Since the Foos' last record, 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience
and Grace he's been hard at work on his band's next album.
(Hopefully a NEW one!!!!!!!)
