Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl revealed tips for sneaking hash into concerts in a recent YouTube video of The Transparent Clinch Gallery.
The rocker crafted two items for a philanthropic sale linked to the Sea.Hear.Now Festival in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The two sketches are available for bidding: one illustrates the construction of a beer bong, and the other depicts methods for sneaking hash into a concert. The festival officials released a statement, saying:
“Every year at Sea.Hear.Now, we collect art from musicians who are playing at the festival to showcase and sell in our Transparent Clinch Gallery Pop-Up Art Tent in order to raise money for local charities. This year, I asked Dave Grohl to create some art for our cause. Dave was immediately excited about the opportunity and started throwing out some creative ideas.”
Crafting Art On the Spot
Detailing Grohl’s eagerness for the event, they continued:
“As the festival grew closer, I would text Dave to remind him that we would need to collect the art soon. Being one of the busiest people that I know, he arrived at the festival with a Sharpie and ready to make art. As we were looking for some poster board for his art, a runner came back with some ‘Prohibited Items’ corro board signage from the festival fences.”
The statement lastly added how the process went:
“Dave Grohl loved this and began creating these one-of-a-kind drawings moments before taking the stage in front of 30,000 people at Sea.Hear.Now, 2023, in Asbury Park. Now that you’ve seen the drawings, it only makes the story and the art more ironic and iconic.”
Grohl’s Backstage Creations
The first picture Dave drew is a set of instructions for making a beer bong, which is a device used to drink beer quickly. It’s made with a funnel, a transparent hose, and metal ties to hold it all together. Grohl said that he’s been drawing this picture for a long time and often gives it to people who are hanging out backstage at concerts. He also noted in the video:
“We used to make these diagrams for runners backstage. [We’d tell them] ‘Go to Home Depot and get this sh*t.’ They would literally get it and screw it together before we played.”
The second picture is instructions on how to take apart a cassette case, take out the insides, and hide the hash in the empty space. Right now, people are offering more than $11,000 (£8,650) for both drawings. The money will go to charities in Asbury Park.
