Dave Grohl's merry band of rock superstars, the Sound City Players, will continue their string of national shows with a performance at SXSW in Austin, Texas on March 14th. The rotating cast of musicians have already played in Los Angeles, New York and the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, to support the Foo Fighter frontman's directorial debut, Sound City, a documentary about the famed Sound City recording studio in Van Nuys, California, and its accompanying album, Sound City: Real to Reel.
