It turns out the drummer who was doing the actually recording was Scott Garrett from Dag Nasty - an old D.C. But what happened after you left the Foo Fighters?Īctually, right before I was in the Foo Fighters… I hooked up with a friend of mine who was producing this Japanese artist. You went straight from Scream to Wool to Foo Fighters. And on Friday, Scream returns to the Black Cat for a second much-anticipated homecoming gig.īut where was Franz Stahl during the decade between Foo Fighters and the reunited Scream? Turns out, he was running from fans in the streets of Japan, soundtracking surf films and touring West Virginia in a country band.Ĭlick Track spoke with Stahl on Saturday morning over the phone from a park in Hollywood where he was watching his son’s soccer game. Just recently - and with Grohl’s production help in the studio - the band recorded a new album scheduled for release on Side One Dummy Records later this summer. In 2009, the Stahl brothers reunited Scream, (in its original, sans-Grohl line-up), at Washington’s Black Cat. Later on he became a Tour Manager for many bands, including Foo Fighters, Cave In and Rammstein.Franz Stahl at the 2009 Scream reunion at the Black Cat. Later on guitarist/vocalist Franz Stahl became the touring guitarist for Japanese musician J, and joined former Scream band mate Dave Grohl in the Foo Fighters, replacing departing guitarist Pat Smear. Franz’s tenure in the band included the entire world tour for the 1997 album The Colour and the Shape. Peter Stahl went on to play with Earthlings? and Goatsnake and appeared on several of Josh Homme’s (Queens of the Stone Age) The Desert Sessions albums.

The material on Budspawn combined the four members’ inherent punk aesthetics with a tendency toward more straight-ahead, anthemic hard rock and drug-induced psychedelia.įollowing a line-up change in which Moffett was replaced by former Inside Out and Chain of Strength drummer, Chris Bratton, Wool was signed to London Records in the newly punk-friendly climate of 1993. Then, the band released an EP, 1992’s rollicking Budspawn, which was released independently on External Records. The quartet’s first single “Little Darlin'”, is a widely regarded punk single.

The brothers then teamed up with former Government Issue and future Burning Airlines drummer Peter Moffett and Seattle native and ex-Concrete Blonde bassist Al Bloch(brother of Seattle Sub-Pop legend Kurt Bloch from the Fastbacks). Wool formed in the early ’90s when brothers Peter and Franz Stahl (vocals/guitar and guitar/vocals, respectively) were forced to terminate their popular band Scream when bassist Skeeter Thompson went AWOL and drummer Dave Grohljoined Seattle grunge band Nirvana mid-way through a U.S.
