Check Out Foo Fighters Performance On The Late Show With Stephen Colbert

---

Foo Fighters performed their new single ‘Shame Shame’ on the latest episode of ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’. The segment saw the band perform their new song joined by a choir that featured frontman Dave Grohl’s daughter Violet.

The song is set to feature on the bands upcoming album ‘Medicine At Midnight’, which will be released on February 5th 2021 via RCA Records.

The performance came alongside an interview, where Dave reveals that the band had plans to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the band that had to be cancelled due to covid.

Talking to Kerrang! regarding the new track, Grohl said “When we first started recording the record, we were recording songs that were recognizable as the FOO FIGHTERS. Actually, the first song that we recorded is the first song on the record: ‘Making A Fire’. And that really kind of set the tone, like, ‘Okay, this is really up and really fuckin’ big, and let’s keep moving in that direction.'”

“And after a few weeks I came in with this idea, which is originally based on a simple guitar riff and this unusual rhythm which is a drum set recorded in a stairwell, but then there’s this finger-snapping and stomping and clapping loop that’s behind it, Those two things started coming together, and rather than load a lot of things on top of it, we kept it really simple: there’s an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, a bass, a vocal, and also this keyboard part.”

Adding “It was noticeably different than anything we’ve ever done, and I always think that when you’re releasing a song before an album, you want it to give a little bit of pretext for things to come; you want to present this to your audience as some sort of indication that we’re not just making the same FOO FIGHTERS record again. And there was something about it, with the vibe and the rhythm, that just seems like new territory for us.”

Greg Kurstin produced the new album, and also worked with the band on their previous release ‘Concrete And Gold’. The new album will be 9 tracks long, and will be 37 minutes in total. It can be pre-ordered here.
