Boygenius have reflected on the moment that Dave Grohl joined them on stage to perform one of their tracks, saying that “he’s the best”.The conversation arose during a new interview with NME, in celebration of the trio’s recent album ‘The Record’ being named the best album of the year.During the interview, Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker looked back at when Foo Fighters legend Dave Grohl joined them on stage earlier this year to play the drums for them as they performed the song ‘Satanist’.Taking place at the Hollywood Bowl on October 31, the former Nirvana drummer sat behind the kit wearing all black and facepaint, while the trio played their set dressed as The Father, Son and Holy Ghost in celebration of Halloween.“I made friends with Dave backstage at a Billie Eilish show.
He’s the coolest guy ever,” Bridgers told NME about how the collaboration arose. “I was texting the boys, being like, ‘I met Dave Grohl, and he exceeds every expectation of how a rock star can be in the world’.
I think we, as a group, look for that a lot – like, who is living their life the way that we want to get old and live our lives?”“He’s so game.
I just want to stay game the way that he is,” agreed Dacus, and Bridgers added: “He’s the best. He was like, ‘I’m gonna be a priest, by the way’, when I told him what we were gonna be for Halloween.”When asked how they decided which song he would join them for, Bridgers revealed that originally he was meant to feature on their LP.Dave Grohl playing drums onstage with Boygenius tonight!
