Violet Grohl swung by 30 Rock on Wednesday to serve as the musical guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The musician and daughter of Dave Grohl frontman Dave Grohl delivered a potent performance of “Bug In The Cake” for her television debut.
Grohl recently released her debut album, Be Sweet To Me, on Auroura Records/Republic Records. “Bug In The Cake” is among 11 tracks featured on the Justin Raisen-produced record.
Be Sweet To Me was tracked at Raisen’s home studio in Los Angeles. Raisen took influence from the Wrecking Crew session players by recruiting top-flight musicians to back Violet on the LP.
“Everything was written in the studio,” Violet explained of the songs on her first album. “I would come in with an inspiration playlist, we would hang and listen for a little while, and then start writing.”
“Violet is so well-versed in all styles of music; every playlist was different,” added Raisen. “She showed me a number of things that I wasn’t familiar with; her encyclopedic knowledge of music is crazy.”

Tickets for the new dates go on sale tomorrow, June 5.
