Dave Grohl's Sound City Players book L.A. gig

Assembled to play the music created for film (plus some classic cuts), the L.A. configuration of the Sound City Players will feature Grohl, Fleetwood Mac frontwoman Nicks, John Fogerty, Rick Springfield, Lee Ving of Fear, Brad Wilk of Rage Against The Machine, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick, Robert Levon Been and Peter Hayes of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and members of Grohl's former bands Nirvana and Foo Fighters, including Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Krist Novoselic, Chris Shiflett, and Pat Smear.

Paul McCartney, who joined Grohl, Smear and Noveselic for a song on the 12/12/12 Hurricane Sandy tribute, isn't scheduled to play.

"Sound City," which is Grohl's directorial debut, is about the legendary Van Nuys, California, recording studio where acts including Nirvana, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Dr. John, Metallica and, um, Charles Manson have all recorded.
