Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has debuted his new supergroup, the Sound City Players, with a performance at the Sundance Film Festival.

According to Rolling Stone, Grohl was permanently accompanied by his Foo Fighters band mates throughout the show, which lasted three hours.

The drummer also introduced a rolling cast of legends to the stage to play with him as he took the crowd on a journey through the history of music recorded at Sound City Studios.

Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear, Slipknot’s Corey Taylor, Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, Creedence Clearwater Revival’s John Fogerty, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett of the Foo Fighters, Alain Johannes, Chrsi Goss, Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen and Rage Against The Machine drummer Brad Wilk were all among the 17-strong lineup of musicians who graced the stage.

All of the musicians who performed have recorded at the infamous Sound City Studios and appear in the Foo Foghters frontman’s documentary about the studios in Van Nuys, California.

The documentary premiered at the annual Sundance Film Festival on Friday (January 19), in Park City, Utah.

The film also features former Beatle Paul McCartney who teamed up with the remaining member of Nirvana to perform at the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert in new York.

Grohl recently claimed that the song they wrote with McCartney took just three hours to complete and said the track ‘came out of nowhere’.

Nirvana’s Nevermind album and Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours are among the iconic albums to have been recorded at Sound City Studios.

This year will be a busy one for Dave Grohl. Not only is he returning to the drum stool for the new Queens Of The Stone Age album, but he’ll also be giving the keynotes speech at this year’s South By Southwest festival in Texas on March 14.
