According to
The Pulse Of Radio, former
NIRVANA bassist
Krist Novoselic spoke with the
Hivecast about recently collaborating again with
FOO FIGHTERS frontman
Dave Grohl, who also played drums in
NIRVANA.
Novoselic kept the details to a minimum, only admitting that it was for the
"Sound City" documentary that
Grohl is making. He explained, "You've got to ask
Dave what we did though because he told me not to tell anybody. It's around the
'Sound City' documentary. I went to Pasadena to go see
Ben [
Shepherd] and
Kim [
Thayil], because they were in L.A. making a video for [
SOUNDGARDEN's 'Avengers' single]
'Live To Rise'. And so like we went to this hotel room, and we were like having some beers, and like they were playing their new song and I was playing our new song. It was kind of like the old days, like, 'Wow, we haven't done this in 20 years.'"
The documentary, which
Grohl is directing, is about the legendary
Sound City recording studio in Los Angeles, where acts ranging from
FLEETWOOD MAC to
METALLICA to
Tom Petty to
NIRVANA recorded many classic rock albums.
Grohl purchased the studio's main mixing board after the facility closed its doors a few years back.
The film, which
Grohl reportedly hopes to premiere this fall, will feature new musical collaborations between a number of different artists.
Novoselic, who has kept a relatively low profile since
NIRVANA ended in 1994, contributed bass and accordion to the track
"I Should Have Known" from
FOO FIGHTERS' most recent album,
"Wasting Light".
It was the first time that
Novoselic and
Grohl had recorded together in nearly 20 years.
