Hailed by Peter Travers of ROLLING STONE as an “exhilarating documentary
about what makes life worth living... an intimate epic about music,”
SOUND CITY is a feature-length documentary film directed and produced by
Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters that tells the story of the legendary SOUND
CITY recording studio in Van Nuys, CA where Grohl’s former band Nirvana
and countless others recorded many of rock & roll’s most revered works.
The film also explores the human element vital to the creation of these
classic albums, with both the film and companion album SOUND CITY: REAL
TO REEL capturing many of these same artists creating brand new original
music. More recently, Grohl convened the SOUND CITY PLAYERS live
extravaganza for a handful of one-time-only shows teaming Dave Grohl and
his extended Foo Fighters and Nirvana families with Stevie Nicks, John
Fogerty, Rick Springfield, Lee Ving of Fear, Rick Nielsen, Brad Wilk of
Rage Against The Machine, Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour, Chris
Goss of Masters of Reality and Alain Johannes.
“We’re always looking for new ways to give our customers access, and
what better way than to offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see
some of the legendary names in music perform together,” said Jennifer
Breithaupt, Senior Vice President of Entertainment Marketing at Citi.
“The buzz and enthusiasm around Sound City has been infectious, and we
expect this show to be one of the most sought-after performances in
Austin.”
