The world of rock got some kudos when Emmy nominations were announced on Wednesday.
The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert picked up a nomination for “Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Variety Series Or Special!”
The special is up against some pretty hefty competition: “Bono & The Edge: A Sort Of Homecoming With Dave Letterman,” “Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium,” “The 65th Annual Grammy Awards,” and “Saturday Night Live.”
The concert was filmed at Wembley Stadium on September 3rd. During the tribute concert, Taylor Hakwin’s son Shane joined Foo Fighters as a drummer to perform “My Hero.”
The band’s latest album, “But Here We Are,” debuted in the Billboard Top 10 at number 8 in its first week of release. The album is the band’s first since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins and features the songs “Rescued,” “Under You,” and “The Teacher.”
Bay Area fans can see the Foo Fighters perform with new drummer Josh Freese at Outside Lands as they headline the festival on Saturday, August 12th.
