Boygenius have revealed that Dave Grohl was meant to appear as a guest star on their debut album, but he “slept through” the session.The topic arose during a recent interview the band took part in with NME, to celebrate their breakthrough album, ‘The Record’, being named the best album of the year.Looking at the milestone, the trio – comprised of Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker – revealed that the album very nearly had a guest appearance from rock legend Dave Grohl.“We have a friend who knows him and toured with Foo Fighters,” Bridgers revealed, recalling how the plans for a collaboration with the Foo Fighters frontman came about. “There was this missed connection where Dave was actually going to come to the studio and play on [‘The Record’].Although the artist didn’t reveal which song or songs Grohl was set to appear on, she did confirm why he never ended up in the finished product – saying he ultimately “slept through” the time they were meant to have the session, meaning “we didn’t end up meeting.”While the plans for the two to join forces on the LP didn’t go quite to plan, eventually the two acts did end up working together earlier this year when the former Nirvana drummer made a surprise appearance with Boygenius on stage.Dave Grohl playing drums onstage with Boygenius tonight!
