Gig: The Foo Fighters

The Foo Fighters SECOND SHOW ANNOUNCED!! See below for info. Having cemented their place as "the last great American rock band" (The Independent) with a recent sold out UK/Europe arena tour in support of the #1 Australia/New Zealand charting Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, the Foo Fighters have confirmed a spring 2008 return to Australia and New Zealand. The already platinum Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace is the Foo Fighters at the top of their game. The band's sixth studio album has been regaled by the press worldwide, with NME describing it as "a near-seamless amalgam of the Foos' musical yin and yang... the record the Foo Fighters have always threatened to make”, the New York Times proclaiming "there's a lot of craft here to admire" and Entertainment Weekly labeling ESP&G "Perfect... a modern-day CD that reverberates with the conviction and artistry of bygone days" -- while The Guardian looked toward the live show, announcing "The Foos' sixth and most accomplished album sees the band comfortable with arena tricks such as wistful Led Zeppelin-y acoustic guitars and choruses to learn and scream." They're playing Vector Arena May 5th 2008 and tickets go on sale 5th December through Ticketmaster.
