History

The project was launched when Hawkins started recording a few songs at a home studio owned by a friend, Drew Hester. This ended up spawning a band, with Taylor Hawkins on vocals.[4]

It featured 11 songs which were recorded by the band during 2004, before Foo Fighters started recording In Your Honor. Their first official video was of the first song off the album, titled "Louise."

Red Light Fever

In an interview with 'The Rock Radio' website regarding the next album, Taylor Hawkins stated that recording and production had been completed, but they had yet to decide on a title or a release date.[5]

In February 2010, the album was announced: titled Red Light Fever, it was to be released on April 19. The album features guest musicians Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen, Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, and Elliot Easton of The Cars. It was recorded at the Foo Fighters' Studio 606 in California.[6]
