FOO FIGHTERS AND WEEZER JOIN FORCES



FOO FIGHTERS and WEEZER are set to head out together on a US tour this autumn.

Speaking on ’The Howard Stern Show’ yesterday, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl said that the trek is expected to get underway in September, although final details may not be finalised until next week.

Grohl told Billboard: “I can't wait until I'm stuck on a bus, watching 'Office Space' for the millionth time and eating a pizza in Utah.”

He added: “That's my perfect day."

Foo Fighters will then kick off a string of European festival dates on July 1 at Switzerland’s Openair.

Weezer are currently in the middle of a European tour, and will start a summer run on July 2 in Las Vegas as part of the city’s 100th birthday celebrations.

Three things:
1) DoTheFandango has hyperventilated upon reading the W word 5 times in the same minute and is unconcious, slumped in the corner somewhere
2) Is Office Space any good
3) The whole Foo Fighters news story was really a tenuous introduction - has Las Vegas really only been around for 100 years? The casinos have been around at least 99 years, did someone plant them or something?

Office Space is a pretty good movie, very good perhaps, but yeah, everyone in Ameirca has seen it at least 50 times

If you watch it, you'll start getting all the subtle references everywhere to that movie

[Facetious]

Office Space is a brilliant movie, a classic

fixed

edit:
that song that goes

THE BEST
THE BEST
THE BEST
THE BEST
THE BEST

is the worst song ever, and all the new weezer songs are ridiculously terrible, that tour is going to blow

Dave Grohl owns.

2) Yea, it was pretty funny.
3) Las Vegas--the whole Western United States, actually, is a pretty young region. Most of the Western US was Mexican territory until after about 1840, when Polk uh..."bought" it (wink, wink) from Mexico.

The state of Nevada (where LV is located) is only about 140 years old, and Las Vegas was just a patch of desert back then. It wasn't until the 1940's, when the Las Vegas Strip started growing, that the city really started exploding. If it wasn't for the strip, I would guess it would still be nothing more than a petrol stop on the way to California.

(Did you like how I said petrol instead of gas? That was for you, Zeus. )

My heart is warmed!

Edit: My local station is giving away tickets for Motley Crue at Wembley Arena... and backstage passes. Oh God. The DJ is running a competition where the most obese, homosexual male who texts the station wins the tickets

Old news.

The Foo Fighters were in town today promoting their new double CD. They played an accoustic set at a local radio station in the evening and then had a club show later tonight that was also broadcast on the radio. Their new stuff sounds great; I liked one particular song that I think was called Miracle.

While we're on the subject of music, I'd like to congratulate The Magic Numbers for giving hope to social outcasts everywhere by proving you can still make it in the music business
