Grammy winning rock veterans Foo Fighters return this July for a huge show at the Rose Garden Arena. Their latest album Echoes, Silence Patience, & Grace, featuring the hit singles “The Pretender” and “Long Road To Ruin”, is in stores now.
Foo Fighters have expanded their career Grammy take to six, as the band won Best Rock Album and Best Hard Rock Performance at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in 2008. Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace is the third Foo Fighters release to win Best Rock Album, after One By One and There Is Nothing Left To Lose in 2004 and 2000 respectively.
The Hard Rock Performance award was for “The Pretender”, the first single from ESP&G, which holds the record for consecutive weeks at #1 on the Modern Rock radio chart. The Foos performed the massive hit at the awards ceremony, assisted by the My Grammy Moment Orchestra as arranged and conducted by Led Zeppelin’s legendary multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones.
Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace was released September 25th to the biggest worldwide fanfare of the Foo Fighters’ career. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY awarded the record an A, calling it “Perfect” and noting “The band has taken everything it’s always done best and brought it to the next level.” Elsewhere, EchoesÅ entered the UK chart at #1 with the biggest first week sales by an international artist in 2007 and the biggest first week sales ever on iTunes UK. More recently, the band announced and instantly sold out a 163,000 capacity two-night stand at Wembley Stadium.
