“I finally get the opportunity to say, ladies and gentlemen, will you please welcome, the most badass mother, Ilan Rubin”: Dave Grohl introduces new drummer at Foos' secret gig

Musician Dave Grohl, founding member of Nirvana and The Foo Fighters.

The Foo Fighters played their first gig with new drummer Ilan Rubin this weekend at a 900-capacity venue in San Luis Obispo, California.

It was very much a last-minute booking. The band only announced the gig on the Saturday, telling fans via social media that tickets would only be available in-person at the venue itself – The Freemont Theater – from 8am on the day of the show.
