FOO FIGHTERS Perform at Special July 4th USO Concert at White House

MUSIC NEWS - Foo Fighters had the honor this weekend of joining President Obama for a special July 4 USO concert on the South Lawn, where they entertained an audience of over 1200 active military troops and families for a private concert, BBQ and fireworks display. The attendees were treated not only to a selection of FF favorites, but saw the band's first ever live performance of the brand new tune, "Wheels". The studio version of "Wheels" will be one of two new tracks the band has recorded with producer Butch Vig for an as yet untitled collection due out this November.

The new tracks--all recorded by core Foo Fighters foursome Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett this year at Foo Fighters' own 606 studio complex, are said to hold their ground alongside FF classics. We look forward to hearing their new work !
