Under what disco-themed name did Foo Fighters release Hail Satin? They released it as Dee Gees.
The name is a playful blend of the Bee Gees, whose songs dominate the record, and Dave Grohl’s initials. Hail Satin was issued for Record Store Day on July 17, 2021, as a project by Foo Fighters rather than under the band’s usual name.
The album’s A-side contains five disco-oriented covers: four songs associated with the Bee Gees and Andy Gibb’s “Shadow Dancing.” Its B-side contains five live recordings of songs from Medicine at Midnight. That split is why Hail Satin is often described as both a studio cover album and a live release.
The title also jokes about disco-era satin clothing and the phrase “hail Satan.” A common mix-up is treating Dee Gees as a separate band; it was Foo Fighters adopting a temporary tribute-band identity.
