Foo Fighters

Last year it was weed grinders with Wavves, now it's coloring books with Foo Fighters. Novelty is the champion of memory, and the Foo Fighters will make a lasting impression with a 52-page coloring book. As part of their tour supporting Wasting Light, not only will they enrich minds with awesome brain knowledge, but also embrace a creative side!

Invented as a tour rider for backstage pals and the production crew, the activity book was created primarily by Foo Fighter's tour manager, Gus Brandt. Check out their "Field Guide to Food" on The Smoking Gun, complete with mazes, puzzles and of course, coloring pages. Catch the band on the dates and venues listed below.
