Foo Fighters are planning on releasing their rare ‘Songs From The Laundry Room’ EP as a mainstream release.

‘Songs From The Laundry Room’ is a four track E.P. originally released as a 10-inch vinyl for Record Store Day this year.

The E.P. featuring Foo Fighters cover of Kim Wilde’s ‘Kids In America’ as well as the previously unreleased ‘Empty Handed’.

‘Alone + Easy Target’ was recorded as a demo by Grohl and originally pitched to Nirvana. Nirvana would jam on the song during soundchecks for the 1991 European tour. Grohl re-recorded the song in 1995 for the first Foo Fighters album.

‘Big Me’ was eventually released as a Foo Fighters song and was the fourth single from the debut album. Grohl wrote it when he was a member of Nirvana and, like ‘Alone + Easy Target’ had played it to Kurt Cobain

Foo Fighters Songs From The Laundry RoomThe tracks on ‘Songs From The Laundry Room’ are:

Alone + Easy Target (recorded February 18, 1991)
Big Me (recorded March 1994)
Kids In America (recorded on February 16, 1991)

Foo Fighters Honor Taylor Hawkins and Introduce Josh Freese To Melbourne #REVIEW

Dave Grohl said he had lost count of the number of times Foo Fighters have toured Australia “10, 20, 100”. The answer is actually 13. Foo Fighters first toured Australia on the Summersault Festival in 1995. They were back in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2015, 2018 and for that one-off show in Geelong in 2022. The early tours were mainly club shows. The biggest they got in those first 10 years (outside festivals) was a Festival Hall show in Melbourne. The first arena show was in 2005 and for the past 10 years it has been stadiums.
