On February 25, the horror-comedy film Studio 666 will be released in movie theaters across the United States. Studio 666 imagines rock band Foo Fighters moving into a Los Angeles mansion to record their much anticipated 10th album — but once the band are set up in the house, frontman Dave Grohl finds himself grappling with supernatural forces, much to the surprise and horror of his bandmates.
What's cool about Studio 666 is that the cast features the entire Foo Fighters lineup — Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffe. For much of cinematic and musical history, there have been many films that either starred or at least featured a cameo by a band or a musical artist. So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear by bands and artists who have appeared in films?
