Dave Grohl popped into a benefit show at for L.A.’s Oakwood School at Avalon Hollywood over the weekend for a surprise set of covers of some of his favorite songs from LCD Soundsystem, The Knack and David Bowie. Accompanied by Foo Fighters bandmate keyboardist Rami Jaffee, as well as Studio 606 engineer and drummer John Lousteau and Birds of Satan bassist Wiley Hodgden, the quartet had some help from a few of their famous friends as well.
The set blasted off with a rip through their supercharged cover of LCD Soundsystem’s “Daft Punk Is Playing at My House,” followed by The Knack’s 1979 power pop classic “My Sharona.” The group then made their way through Queen and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure” with expert help from The Struts singer and solo artist Luke Spiller.
The run ended with a surprise appearance by Lisa Loeb, who joined the group on lead vocals for a cover of Bowie’s “Moonage Daydream.”
The Foo Fighters don’t have any tour dates scheduled for 2025 at the moment, but Grohl has been popping up all over the place lately, including during the first weekend of Coachella on April 19. The rocker hopped on stage with his trusty guitar to join maestro Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic for amped-up orchestral takes on the Foos’ “The Sky Is a Neighborhood” and “Everlong,” marking the first time Grohl has played Foos songs in public since revealing last fall that he’d fathered a child out of his marriage.
In January, he reunited with his former Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic and a variety of female singers — including Joan Jett, Kim Gordon, St. Vincent and his daughter, Violet — for a set of Nirvana covers at the FireAid benefit show that also featured Nirvana/Foos guitarist Pat Smear. A month later, Nirvana came together again, with Post Malone on lead vocals, at the SNL 50th anniversary concert.
