Quite a stellar lineup, no? But when would we actually hear this music? We are one step closer to knowing as Rise Records has signed the project to a deal. Expect to hear something in 2015, I would assume.
The music was recorded in Dave Grohl's Studio 606 in Northridge, California on the famous Sound City mixing board. Asked if the project would ever tour, co-mastermind Reed Mullin said:
"Touring, I don't know. Dave Grohl's folks — his management and marketing people — are going to help us do all that with the thing. We recorded about 98 percent of it at his studio. They were talking about — since there's so many people from so many different bands — maybe do something like '[Jimmy] Kimmel [Live!]' and have three or four different singers come out at one time, like Jello and Lee Ving, maybe Randy from Lamb of God, something like that. All the songs are real short, so we could do, easily, four songs and not go over. But you know, we'd have Brian Baker come out and play guitar, Pat Smear play bass or guitar or whatever. It's pretty star-studded."
Can you imagine?
