Foos To Play The Grammys

Pretty much the only rock band to get any nominations will play at the ceremony next month

Published 13th Jan 2012

The Foos are up for six awards and they will play live at the LA ceremony on 12 February.

They represent a poor showing from rock bands in the nominations, although Dream Theater, Megadeth and Mastodon are nominated in the Best Rock / Metal Performance category along with the Foos, while Kings Of Leon have two nominations.

The Grammy's love affair with Jeff Beck continues with the legendary guitarist picking up a single nomination for Best Rock Album for his Rock N Roll Party Honoring Les Paul.

And the Chili Peppers get a single nomination for their I'm With You album.

By our recollection the last time the Foos played at the Grammy's was for its 50th annual ceremony, where they played with an orchestra that was conducted by Zep's John Paul Jones.
