Check out super rockers Foo Fighters in full 3D flight this weekend at Birch Carroll & Coyle's new Vmax cinema on Grafton St.

One of the biggest rock bands on earth, the Foo Fighters, are set to hit the big screen for a limited time only with Foo Fighters – Back and Forth, followed by a filmed performance from the band, playing their new album Wasting Light front to back in 3D.

Screenings will be held for three nights only, from Thursday ‑Sunday at 9pm, at Birch Carroll & Coyle Cairns City Cinemas.

Foo Fighters – Back and Forth chronicles the 16-year history of the Foo Fighters: from the band’s very first songs created as cassette demos Dave Grohl recorded during his tenure as Nirvana’s drummer, through their ascent to their Grammy‑winning, multi‑platinum, arena and stadium headlining status as one of the biggest rock bands on the planet.

Produced by Nigel Sinclair (No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, Amazing Journey the Story of the Who, The Last Play at Shea), and produced and directed by Oscar and Emmy winner James Moll, Foo Fighters – Back and Forth culminates with the making of the band’s new album Wasting Light.

It’s process in which the band pushed itself forward by going fully back to basics and recording in Grohl’s garage completely on analog tape.

No computers, no software – just a band recording an album to tape in a garage.

The new record also marks the Foos’ first full-length effort with producer Butch Vig, with whom Grohl worked on Nirvana’s classic album Nevermind.

>> Foo Fighters – Back And Forth is on show from Thursday-Sunday, at Vmax Cairns City Cinemas, from 9pm nightly. Tickets are $25 (Additional $1 3D glasses + $1.10 online booking fee/s applicable) and on sale now at birch.com.au or at the box office.
