Bright and early yesterday morning, we got some very exciting news: Chevy Metal, the “dirt rock” cover band starring Foo Fighters members Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins, would be playing a surprise show at Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory that night.

Fans lined up from 7am to score $20 tickets to the last-minute show, where Grohl, Hawkins, and bandmates Wiley Hodgen and Brent Woods covered classics from the likes of The Rolling Stones, The Knack, Black Sabbath, David Bowie and Billy Joel. If you want to see what you missed — or just relive the night — we’ve got all the photos of Chevy Metal in full flight, care of shooter DAVID YOUDELL.
