GGGGGRRRRRRROHL (sexy grr) has made a film…and a superband band! 

As we all already knew, Dave Grohl can do anything.

In the lead up to Sundance (which is coming back to the UK again; rejoice!), the announcement snuck it’s way into the back pages of the newspaper…

…and the front page of every music magazine on earth.

Sexy Grohl finally announced his sexy secret superband Sound City Players, made up of the main musicians and special guests who star in the film. The band debuts at the Sundance film festival, no less, on the 18th January at Park City, Utah. Sound City Players will be performing accompanying all his sexy film premieres, apparently* (*read on; please note ‘sexy’ just happens to preface everything as I type. Honest.).

So I got you in the loop: here’s the full movie soundtrack (they’ve called Josh Home… Joshua… on it?!):

In case you haven’t seen the trailer, observe:

THE FILM – SOUND CITY

Sound City is a talking heads and archive documentary to be released everywhere from Dave’s new film label Roswell Films (partner of his record label Roswell Records) on the 1st of Februrary, and is directed by Dave Grohl.

News came out in May last year, but no details were confirmed as to release dates.

All we knew was that Dave was interviewing some total legends about something in California and Seattle….and then bam! Dave said: “Sound City is a film about America’s greatest unsung recording studio.”

“Deep in California’s sun-burnt San Fernando Valley, tucked away behind the train tracks and dilapidated warehouses, it was the birthplace of legend. It was witness to history. It was home to a special few, intent on preserving an ideal.”

The film honours a studio in which Nirvana’s Nevermind was recorded in….as well as Johnny Cash, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Pat Bennatar, Nine Inch Nails….the list is ASTONISHING. Here’s the cast.

And here’s some Josh Homme from the film. Mmmmmm-yum.

THE BAND – SOUND CITY PLAYERS from Dave Grohl’s SOUND CITY FILM

Yesterday’s announcement of the Sound City Players superband was a nice surprise – but when you think about it, IT’S A CLASSIC DAVE GROHL SMOOTH MOVE, KIDS. Only it wasn’t a text message sent to the cool kids at Leeds & Reading festivals.

The line-up hasn’t been confirmed, but I’m definitely odds on for Josh Homme, Trent Reznor, Alan Johannes, Chris Gross, Rick Springfield and Taylor Hawkins… and everyone else who’s on the soundtrack, duh. This could well mean special guest appearances from Paul McCartney too, simply because there is no stopping that man.

In December, Rolling Stone got the interview with the bearded man demi god himself. Dave said he hoped that most screenings would have a performance to go with them. “After each premiere we could have a show with musicians,” he said. “They’d not only play music from the film, but from their catalogs as well. We could do it in a Hammerstein or Roseland and pack the bill with the coolest bands in the world .

“We aren’t far away from this. Pretty soon, everyone will hear what our big plan is. We’ve been planning it for a long fucking time.”
