Dey Street Books is thrilled to publish the new trade paperback edition of THE STORYTELLER by Grammy winning musician, Emmy-winning director, and bestselling author Dave Grohl.  

Dave Grohl’s THE STORYTELLER created a sensation when it was published and has gone on to sell over 2  million copies around the world. Readers praised the book for Dave’s heartfelt, authentic voice, his love of  family and music, and the zest for life that pours from every page. 

Now, in this deluxe paperback edition further showcases Dave’s love of writing, but also his appreciation for  his fans, offering a wide variety of extra content, including:

• A series of prompts to inspire readers to jump into their own creative pursuits • Dave’s playlists for early morning pancake making, manning the grill, and getting behind the wheel  and blasting the tunes 
• An in-depth examination of the creation of four Foo Fighters favorites, including the inspiration  behind the lyrics and how Dave and these songs have grown together

THE STORYTELLER redefined the parameters of the music memoir. With this paperback, the legacy continues. 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: 

19-time GRAMMY-winning musician, 2-time Emmy-winning director, bestselling author and 2-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Dave Grohl has been one of  the most beloved and respected figures on the international music scene since his  recorded debut with Nirvana on 1991’s generation-defining Nevermind. Grohl took  center stage with Foo Fighters’ 1995 self-titled debut, the first album in a massive catalogue that includes The Colour & The Shape (1997), There Is Nothing Left To Lose (1999), One By One (2002), In Your Honor (2005), Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (2007), Wasting Light (2011), Sonic Highways (2014), Concrete and Gold (2017), Medicine at Midnight (2021) and, most recently, the band’s universally acclaimed 11th album, But Here We Are (2023). 

Foo Fighters celebrated their 26th anniversary with their 2021 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame —marking the second time Grohl received the honor, having previously been inducted as a member of Nirvana in 2014. 

Grohl has a well-earned reputation as a prolific collaborator: His various endeavors have included “Cut Me Some Slack,” written and recorded with Paul McCartney and Grohl’s Nirvana bandmates Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear; Them Crooked Vultures, formed with Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones and Queens of the Stone  Age’s Joshua Homme, playing live and in-studio with late legends David Bowie and Lemmy Kilmister of  Motorhead, as well as working with Mick Jagger, Neil Young, Elton John, Nine Inch Nails, Brian May and  Roger Taylor of Queen, to name but a few… 

In 2013, Grohl made his debut as a feature director/producer with the acclaimed documentary Sound City—the story of the Van Nuys CA studio where Nirvana recorded Nevermind in 1991, which would sell more than 30 million copies and transform the modern musical landscape. Premiering to unanimous raves at Sundance and achieving a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating, Sound City focused both on the history of the legendary studio and on the ongoing fight to preserve the human element of music. Hailed by The New York Times as “candy to several generations’ worth of rock fans” and NPR as “a celebration of just how unbelievably awesome it is to make rock music for a living,” Sound City has since been certified as a Gold Longform Video by the RIAA, while the Sound City—Real To Reel companion album took the 2013 GRAMMYs for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media and Best Rock Song (“Cut Me Some Slack”).  

Grohl’s subsequent directorial efforts have included the eight-part HBO docuseries Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways, which premiered in October 2014 and went on to win two of the four Emmys for which it was nominated (outstanding sound mixing for nonfiction programming and outstanding sound editing for nonfiction programming). Described by Grohl as a love letter to the history of American music, Sonic Highways was comprised of eight one-hour episodes, each chronicling the creation of one song on Foo Fighters’ Sonic Highways album, each written and recorded in a different American musical landmark –  Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. In April  2021, What Drives Us—Grohl’s feature-length documentary tribute to “every musician that has ever jumped in an old van with their friends and left it all behind for the simple reward of playing music”  premiered via The Coda Collection to unanimously positive reviews. Comprised of firsthand accounts from Grohl, his Foo Fighters bandmates and a diverse cast of van tour veterans ranging from up and comers RadKey and Starcrawler to Ringo Starr and St. Vincent to members of U2, Metallica, Black Flag, Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC and many more, What Drives Us is a unique and poignant exploration of a common  bond: the unstoppable drive of young musicians to share their music with the world.  

October 5, 2021 marked Dave Grohl’s debut as an author with THE STORYTELLER: Tales of Life and Music, published by Dey Street Books, an imprint of the William Morrow Group at HarperCollins. Shooting to #1 on  The New York Times Bestseller List — on the Nonfiction Print as well as Combined print and ebook lists —  as well as topping the bestselling book charts in Canada, Ireland and Great Britain, THE STORYTELLER quickly added International Bestselling Author to Grohl’s ever-growing list of accomplishments and  accolades. Driven by rave reviews and sold out performances of an intimate, three-hour one-man  show, and Best of 2021 nods from the likes of Audible, Business Insider, NME and Variety, THE  STORYTELLER has captivated individual readers and live audiences alike.  
 

PRAISE FOR THE STORYTELLER: 

“Candid, humble and full of stories about big-time stars…music lovers will want to put this one in heavy  rotation.” — CNN 

“The message that burns through The Storyteller is to those who watch him onstage now: Deep down, I’m  just like you. I’ve worked hard to get where I am, but I obsessed over the same music you do. I’m a fan.” — Billboard 

“Grohl, of Nirvana and Foo Fighters fame, demonstrates the good-naturedness he’s known for in this  heartfelt standout that explores everything from the loss of Kurt Cobain to the road to fatherhood.” — Audible (Best of the Year list) 

“Both a timestamp of the past and a living example of what can be accomplished through creation. Lovers  of chronicled melodic adventures and those seeking artistic inspiration will want to check it out.” — Parade

“… the world benefits just as much from hearing his inspiring stories told as only one of rock’s great  stadium rockers turned storyteller can tell them.” — Forbes 

“He may be a slight musical genius, but Grohl’s journey from modest, punk-obsessed troublemaker, to  drumming in the most popular band of the decade, to launching an enduring solo career that puts his rock  and roll ethos at its center, is a truly inspiring tale.” — Consequence of Sound 

“The title The Storyteller fits perfectly. The book is filled with plainspoken, conversational prose that ably  pulls readers into each tale, no matter how linear or digressive. The pages fly by, the memoir having the  feel of a series of chats over drinks with a friend who just happens to have worked with nearly every  notable mainstream and indie-rock musician of the last few decades.” — Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 

“Grohl candidly shares his reverence for the enduring power of music. . . Reflecting on his fame, Grohl  writes, ‘ have never taken a single moment of it for granted.’ Paired with his sparkling wit, this humility is  what makes Grohl’s soulful story a cut above typical rock memoirs. There isn’t a dull moment here.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) 

“Grohl bares his soul and shares his passion in this must-read memoir, which will resonate with music  lovers and his fans.” — Library Journal (starred review) 

“Kinetic… Grohl writes with equal fervor about his path from ‘that guy from Nirvana’ to the leader of the  uberfamous Foo Fighters and his parenting experiences. An exciting read for fans and a remarkable  perspective on the last 30 years of rock music.” — Booklist

DEPECHE MODE: “MY FAVOURITE STRANGER” REMIXES OUT NOW, PRE-ORDER WHITE LABEL REMIX SERIES

DEPECHE MODE
“MY FAVOURITE STRANGER” REMIXES OUT NOW
MEMENTO MORI VINYL WHITE LABEL REMIX SERIES DEBUTS NOVEMBER 10
PRE-ORDERS LIVE NOW

Depeche Mode unveils new dimensions of “My Favourite Stranger” with today’s digital release of five new remixes of the track hailed by Allmusic for its “pulsing menace” that “builds to discomfiting yet alluring levels of anxiety.” The latest series of reimaginations of a song from the universally acclaimed Memento Mori (Columbia Records), the newly released “My Favourite Stranger” remixes are by Boris Brejcha, Ela Minus, Long Island Sound, Sunken Cages and Al Wootton.

Meanwhile in the physical world, Depeche Mode announces the launch of the Memento Mori White Label Remix Series, a monthly drop of 12” vinyl singles building on the previously digital-only remixes of Memento Mori’s singles. The series will debut with the November 10 release of  “Ghosts Again,”  the first of these limited edition, individually numbered pieces. Pre-orders are now open for the Memento Mori White Label Remix Series, which will be available exclusively at https://lnk.to/depechemodestore/ in the U.S., and at select physical retailers in Europe.

On the live front, the third leg of Depeche Mode’s Memento Mori World Tour continues to play to capacity crowds and ecstatic reviews. The band returns to New York tomorrow for an October 21 date at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, to be followed a week later by the tour’s second stop at Madison Square Garden on October 28. With recent performances described by NOLA.com as “the best of Depeche Mode from back then, delivered with all the power and passion of Depeche Mode now” and by the Houston Chronicle as “a sharing of spirits and energies, with each other and the crowd that so clearly still adores them,” the tour’s second North American run will continue in arenas across the continent before wrapping with a mid-December four-night stand in Los Angeles. The band will then return to Europe at the start of 2024 for an additional round of European dates following last summer’s sold-out stadium tour. See below for a full list of dates.

Having sold more than 100 million records and played to more than 35 million fans worldwide, Depeche Mode remains an ever-evolving and singularly influential musical force. Depeche Mode released its acclaimed 15th studio album, Memento Mori, on March 24, 2023 alongside the launch of the Memento Mori World Tour, which has since played to well over two million fans and has been extended into 2024 due to overwhelming demand. An indelible inspiration to fans, critics and artists alike, Depeche Mode continues to forge ahead, with the Memento Mori album and tour representing the newest chapter of a peerless and ongoing legacy.

Alkaline Trio walks among us once again. On January 26, 2024, everyone’s favorite tortured triumvirate will return in Grand Guignol style with Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs, its tenth album and first full length offering of new material to be released in (66)6 years.

Recorded with GRAMMY-winning producer Cameron Webb at Studio 606 in Northridge CA, Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs finds Alkaline Trio stripping its sound down to the skin and bones of its unmistakable sonic spirit, while taking that dark essence to parts previously unknown. Accompanied by the premiere of a fittingly kinetic video directed by Ravi Dhar and featuring pro skaters including Steve Caballero, Chris Cole and more, the album’s first single and title track exemplifies its balance of the eerily familiar and the shock of the new. Oh, and there’s that song/album title…

“My mom worked for years as an emergency room nurse,” says vocalist/guitarist/founder Matt Skiba. “She and her co-workers referred to exceptionally busy nights as ‘blood, hair, and eyeballs’. Well, we’ve been busy making an exceptional record we refer to as Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs, too. We approached this new record in completely new ways. We built the songs together, from the ground up, in the same room which hasn’t happened since the band started. Usually we start with an idea somebody’s already written. This time, we had the unique opportunity to build the songs onto drums recorded at Studio 606 on to two-inch tape using one of the most beautiful-sounding and legendary consoles in rock. It has almost everything to do with how our new record sounds.”

Of the “Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs” video, bassist/vocalist Dan Andriano adds, “Sometimes the full circle nature of life is enough to just completely blow my mind… this is one of those times. Skateboarding was my first love, is my favorite sport, and a community through which I was first introduced to punk rock. So when Matt and I read Ravi’s idea to combine our music with an homage to the Bones Brigade’s ‘The Search For Animal Chin’ and throw some spooky zombies in there… we both dug it right away. The work Ravi and the entire production crew put in was insane and it shows… So to kick off the release of our 10th album with this super fun video featuring Steve Caballero, Chris Cole, Ace, Corey and Shea is so much more than a dream come true, it’s true love. This is not a phase.”

In addition to being a darkly shining exemplar of the Trio’s signature blend of wry lyrical wit and bittersweet melodic sensibility, Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs arrives in a confluence of endings and beginnings—specifically, it’s both the first album to be released via the band’s new label home, Rise Records, and the last to feature longtime member Derek Grant, drummer on every Alkaline Trio record since 2003’s classic Good Mourning.

See below for Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs’ tracklist, as well as a full list of upcoming live dates (with support from Drug Church), on which Skiba and Andriano will be joined by veteran drummer Atom Willard (Against Me!, Rocket from the Crypt). “Playing with Atom is so inspiring,” says Andriano. “His motor is unparalleled.”

With their universally acclaimed 11th album But Here We Are stacking up Best of 2023 So Far accolades and singles “Rescued” and “Under You” cementing the band’s tally of more #1s than any other artist at Rock and Alternative Radio, Foo Fighters have confirmed a massive run of summer 2024 U.S. Stadium dates. The newly announced leg of the Everything or Nothing at All Tour will kick off with the band’s return to New York’s Citi Field for the first time since 2015 for a July 17 and 19 doubleheader and will see Foo Fighters host 12 rock ’n’ roll marathons at 10 stadiums, including a pair of shows August  9 and 11 at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.

Foo Fighters’ 2024 stadium dates will mark the band’s biggest U.S. headline shows since the June 2 release of But Here We Are, which has landed on the mid-year best of lists of Alternative Press, Consequence, Entertainment Weekly, The Los Angeles Times, Loudwire and Uproxx among others, while generating some of the most positive critical notes in Foo Fighters history, including:

“Tragedy isn’t necessary to produce transcendent music. But here, it did.” — THE ATLANTIC

“★★★★★ Stunning … a standout, and at times stunning, piece of work … quite possibly their best and most meaningful album.” – GOLDMINE

“Explosive, emotional and inspired… a back-to-basics immediacy and intensity… The undercurrent holding all of ‘But Here We Are’ together is not an idea so much as raw emotion. Grohl’s melodies are as soaring and anthemic as they’ve sounded in years; his vocals are freshly impassioned and heartfelt.” — THE NEW YORK TIMES

“A fantastic record full of riffs and reflection… so catchy and vibrant, so brimming with wild-eyed wonder… Grohl clearly understands that we honor departed loved ones by building new joys we wish they were around to share.” – NPR

“Dave Grohl gives himself over to arena-sized grief, reckoning, and resolve on the band’s most propulsive and purposeful music of the last two decades… offering earnest hope, fond reminiscence, and skyscraping choruses” — PITCHFORK

“One of the strongest albums of the band’s career… reckoning with the conundrums of human existence through the sheer power of music” — SPIN

“Memorable and meaningful” — USA TODAY

“Aching directness and wounded sweetness make a potent combination here… But Here We Are pulses with the sense that the future happened too quickly, and we’re all having to navigate situations and handle emotions we thought we’d get to much later in life. These songs chart the push through denial into the acceptance of the reality of death and the lifetime journey of bereavement.” — VULTURE

Support on the various dates will come from Pretenders, The Hives, Mammoth WVH, Amyl and The Sniffers, Alex G and L7. See below for a full list of dates and details.

North American Dates Resume Tomorrow in Austin TX

Depeche Mode has revealed two strikingly different visual aspects of “My Favourite Stranger,” another standout from its universally acclaimed Memento Mori (Columbia Records), hailed by Allmusic for its “pulsing menace” that “builds to discomfiting yet alluring levels of anxiety.” First is the Anton Corbijn-directed official music video that premiered September 21, taking viewers on a journey to an unknown destination alongside an enigmatic figure with a surprising secret. Next up is today’s unveiling of “My Favourite Stranger (Vinegar Hill Sessions),” the third in a series of intimate and unique pared back arrangements of Memento Mori tracks recorded live at Brooklyn’s Vinegar Hill studios.

On the live front, having kicked off the third leg of the Memento Mori World Tour with a trio of shows at Mexico City’s Foro Sol stadium, Depeche Mode returns to the U.S. tomorrow, September 29, at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas. Following a sold out spring run described as “a death-defying evening” (Los Angeles Times) and “a beautiful, life-affirming display of a band that, 43 years in, still has so much left to give” (Chicago Sun-Times), the tour’s second trek through North America will visit arenas across the continent before wrapping with a mid-December four-night stand in Los Angeles. See below for a full list of dates.

Having sold more than 100 million records and played to more than 35 million fans worldwide, Depeche Mode remains an ever-evolving and singularly influential musical force. Depeche Mode released its critically acclaimed 15th studio album, Memento Mori, on March 24, 2023 alongside the launch of the Memento Mori World Tour, which has since played to well over two million fans and has been extended into 2024 due to overwhelming demand. An indelible inspiration to fans, critics and artists alike, Depeche Mode continues to forge ahead, with the Memento Mori album and tour representing the opening of the newest chapter of a peerless and ongoing legacy.

Everything Looks Closer From Far Away: The Exhibit

Everything Looks Closer From Far Away: The Exhibit

September 29 – October 29, 2023
KEXP Gathering Space, Seattle, WA

Artwork by Simon Marchner

As their wildly successful co-headline tour continues to sell out multiple nights at venues from Madison Square Garden to the Hollywood Bowl, The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie have today announced Everything Looks Closer From Far Away: The Exhibit Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Two Landmark Albums: The Postal Service’s Give Up & Death Cab for Cutie’s Transatlanticism, an exclusive exhibit opening September 29th and running through October 29th at the KEXP Gathering Space in Seattle which is open Monday through Friday from 7am-6pm and Saturday through Sunday from 8am-6pm.

Everything Looks Closer From Far Away is a unique and unprecedented deep dive into the worlds of The Postal Service’s Give Up and Death Cab for Cutie’s Transatlanticism, two records that began life as the indie rock soundtrack of 2003 and have since become RIAA Platinum-certified classics celebrated on a current 20th anniversary tour of North American arenas and amphitheaters. Bringing it back to where it all began, the pop cultural time capsule will feature murals, artifacts, large-scale installations, an in-depth timeline of both records and more.

The historic Give Up/Transatlanticism 20th Anniversary Tour will land at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena (right next door to the exhibit) for two sold out shows on October 6 and 7. 

Praise for The Postal Service & Death Cab for Cutie Give Up/Transatlanticism 20th Anniversary Tour
