The Foo Fighters are an American based modern rock band that was formed musician David Grohl in 1995. The name of the band is in reference to the term “foo fighter” from World War II, which was used to describe a mysterious aerial phenomenon. Grohl had been the drummer for the band Nirvana but following the death of lead singer Curt Cobain, he took songs he had been writing on the side into Robert Lang’s recording studio in Seattle to record a demo track. The music he had written would eventually become the music of The Foo Fighters.
The Foo Fighters have a large following world wide and have released six total albums. Their most recent album released in 2007 is titled Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. Some of their hit singles include “All My Life”, “Times Like This”, and “Best of You”. The band has also won two Grammy awards for Best Rock Album for their records titled There is Nothing Left to Lose (2001) and One By One (2004).
Current members of the band include Grohl as lead singer, Nate Mendel on base, Taylor Hawkins on drums, and Chris Shiflett on guitar. Make sure to contact Ace Ticket so you can check out The Foo Fighters live in concert!
