Foo Fighters ready to end hiatus?

In September of 2008, Foo Fighter Dave Grohl announced that the band would be taking a "lengthy hiatus".  It seems as if that hiatus is about to be over.  On August 6th on their Facebook page the band begin a countdown of ten days until their "vacation is over".  Furthermore, tomorrow morning on Radio 1 (BBC), Dave Grohl will be on the air to make a big announcement.  Whether it is a release date for the album, or tour dates awaits to be seen, but either way it is great to hear that the Foos are soon to be back in the studio. Speculation on the internet is that the band will be the special guest this year at Reading Festival.  I'm leaning more towards thinking the announcement will be a release date or just a look into the album, because both Chris Shiflett (guiraist), and Taylor Hawkins (drummer) are both on tour with their side projects right now.



Anyways, sorry this is my first post in a few days! I've updated the playlist to a few songs that I currently can't stop listening to... and a Foo Fighters one for good measure.  I have a ridiculously busy day ahead of me.  I'm working until 5 and then I'll be at WSOU until 3am! Be sure to listen in on 89.5 fm and wsou.net!  I'll update this article tomorrow morning when the world finds out what Dave Grohl has to say on bbc radio!
