Foo Fighters Set To Rock The “2011 MTV
Movie Awards Stage” With Their New Single “Walk”
MONDAY 6 JUNE AT 4PM
NEW YORK,
NY, Auckland, New Zealand, May 23, 2011 – MTV
has announced that the Foo Fighters will rock the Movie
Awards stage for the first time, debuting their second
single, “Walk,” off their seventh studio album
“Wasting Light.” Known for their epic live performances,
Foo Fighters will join hip-hop artists Lupe Fiasco
and Trey Songz as the musical acts to be featured in
the show, along with previously announced presenters Ryan
Reynolds, Blake Lively, Steve Carell,
Emma Stone, Shia LaBeouf, Rosie
Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel, Patrick
Dempsey, Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel,
Jesse Eisenberg, Aziz Ansari, Danny
McBride, Nicki Minaj, Selena Gomez,
Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy. Hosted by
Jason Sudeikis, the 2011 MTV Movie Awards will broadcast
on MTV NZ – SKY channel 014 – on Monday 6 June at 4pm
[AEST].
Released in April, the Foo Fighters’
album, “Wasting Light” debuted #1 in 12 countries –
the biggest worldwide chart week of the band’s
16-year-and-going-strong-career. The album was recorded
entirely in Dave Grohl’s home garage using only analogue
equipment. “Wasting Light's” no computers/no software
back to basics approach has resulted in arguably the
strongest and most cohesive effort of the band’s storied
career. From the hit single “Rope” to the frenetic
opener “Bridge Burning” to the beautifully bipolar
“These Days” to stunning guest spots from Bob Mould
(“Dear Rosemary”) and Krist Novoselic (“I Should Have
Known”), “Wasting Light” is a singular triumph: a band
that’s headlined arenas, stadiums and festivals the world
over stripping itself down to the bare essentials and coming
up with its finest hour.
