Foo Fighters Tease New Album Due Out Spring 2011

FOO FIGHTERS UNVEIL FIRST TASTE OF NEW ALBUM;
CONFIRMED FOR SPRING 2011 RELEASE ON
ROSWELL/RCA
Foo Fighters have launched
http://tease.foofighters.com, featuring a first taste of
“Bridge Burning,” the opening track of the band’s seventh full length studio album, due out this spring on
Roswell/RCA. Check out the teaser below.
The album, produced by Butch Vig and mixed by Alan Moulder, was recorded entirely on analog
tape in the garage of Dave Grohl‘s home in California’s San Fernando Valley. The new record marks the
Foo Fighters’ first full length effort with legendary producer Butch Vig, whom Grohl first worked with on Nirvana‘s classic Nevermind.
Nirvana co-founder Krist Novoselic also makes a cameo, contributing bass and accordion to “I Should
Have Known,” while former Nirvana touring guitarist and longtime extended FF family member Pat Smear
now joins the permanent FF core of Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett.
Concurrent with the album’s release, Exclusive Media Group’s documentary division Spitfire Pictures will be
producing a feature documentary about the Foo Fighters to be directed by Academy Award winner James
Moll (The Last Days, Running The Sahara). The documentary will chronicle the entire history of the Foo
Fighters, from the cassette demos Grohl
recorded during his tenure as Nirvana’s drummer through their ascent to their Grammy-winning, multi-platinum,
arena and stadium headlining status as one of the biggest rock bands on the planet.
The new Foo Fighters record will be supported by an extensive world tour. The band is confirmed to headline across
the worldwide summer festival circuit, including
Washington state’s Sasquatch!, the UK’s Isle of White, Pink Pop in the Netherlands, Germany’s Southside and
Hurricane, Oxegen in Ireland, T in the Park in Scotland, Optimus Alive in Portgual, and more to be announced as
they are confirmed.

TOUR STARTS JUNE 15 IN KITCHENER, ONTARIO
 Brian Wilson |
Brian Wilson will embark
on his first-ever cross-Canada tour in
June of 2011. For many Canadians, the tour represents their first opportunity to directly experience
and pay homage to this unrivaled mainstay of the cultural soundtrack. Audiences can look forward
to a musical tour de force as Wilson performs his latest critically acclaimed album Brian Wilson Reimagines
Gershwin in its entirety, along with a selection of classics from both the Brian Wilson and
Beach Boys back-catalogues.
“I’ve always tried to make music that entertained people,” Wilson said. “I also wanted my music to
last, to be able to speak to any generation. Thankfully, nearly 50 years since the Beach Boys were
born, that seems to have come true. Now, with this album a new musical chapter begins for me,
and it’s going to be a chapter to remember. I promise.”

HUGELY INFLUENTIAL BAND RETURNS WITH KILLER NEW RECORD
“Although Chris Goss is probably best known for his production/engineering talents (having worked with UNKLE, Stone Temple Pilots and, most extensively, Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age), since the late 80s, he has been issuing albums as the leader of Masters Of Reality.” – Billboard
“A study in Goss’ brand of desert-rock weirdness, a kind of bad-acid-trip storyboard that makes you believe you’re in a German expressionist production of Alice In Wonderland and you can’t blink or else the pod people will erase your soul.” – Magnet
“What knocks you back on your heels with Pine/Cross Dover is how much this band still sounds like no one else and how much others have lifted from them. Masters of Reality aren’t trying to emulate any of their ancestors but in their veins flows the same viscous fluids that pumped through prime Deep Purple, Television, Grand Funk Railroad, Cream and the like.” – Dirty Impound
 Masters’ Chris Goss |
For nearly 20 years, the intermittent and somewhat reclusive collaborative musical efforts of Chris Goss and John Leamy collectively known as the avant-renegade rockers Masters of Reality (a relationship that began with Leamy painting the cover of their very first Masters album), have influenced the face and character of rock and roll music around the world. And that tradition continues with Pine/Cross Dover (released October 12 in the U.S.).
Check out the lead-off track “King Richard TLH” here.
On the band’s brand new, two-headed beast of a full-length recording, the group pits the finer elements of the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Public Image Limited against each other for a Masters of Reality album that rocks, rolls, and grooves like one devilish son of a gun. Joining Goss and Leamy are a host of special guests, including Eagles of Death Metal bassist Brian O’Connor and guitarist Dave Catching, Merle Jagger guitarist Mark Christian, background singers Shawnee Smith and Missi Pyle, as well as former Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Brendon McNichol.
