FOXBORO HOT TUBS: Stop Drop & Roll

Release Date: May 20th 2008

Details

Green Day has recorded a spontaneous album named Stop Drop & Roll under the band name Foxboro Hot Tubs. The side-band first appeared mysteriously in a Idiot Club forum message, the resemblances had everyone guessing who was behind the Hot Tubs until Green Day released a statement to MTV

"We think that the only similarity [between the Hot Tubs and Green Day] is that we are the same band. That is basically the only similarity," the Hot Tubs, er, Green Day, wrote in the e-mail. "We are Jason White, Jason Freese, Michael Pritchard, Frank Edwin Wright the Third and the Reverend Strychnine Twitch. ... We are four guys who love to play music and be spontaneous, [and] after a few late night jams and a few too many bottles of wine, we were inspired to record some rockin' eight-track recordings.

Foxboro was a townhouse near Billie and Mike's childhood home and they use to sneak in there to use the hot tubs.. They have released the album for online purchase in April of 2008 but the official release date for the physical album is May 20th 2008. The band is rumored to be considering the posibility of a video for 'The Pedestrian'. There is also a rumor of a tour for the side-band. Neither have been confirmed.

NEW GREEN DAY ALBUM

Estimated Release Date:  2008

Details:

After touring extensively for 2 years following the release of American Idiot, the band decided to use 2006 to take a break, and begin the writing process for new material. In an interview with NME Magazine in December 2006 (read the article) Billie Joe mentions that the band has at least three albums worth of new material they are working with. They are still unsure the direction the new album will go, as far as style, but they are using this time to write together and come up with ideas.

AMERICAN IDIOT MOVIE

Release Date: Unknown

Details:

Green Day was contacted and asked if they were interested in turning the American Idiot Story into a movie. Last year Billie Joe wrote a treatment for the movie (a general plot of the movie), and has given it to a screen writer who is in charge of turning it into and actual screen play. 

 Green Day has said that they will not act in the movie if it gets made. Billie Joe said "We'll leave the acting to the professionals." But they did say they would have a part in making sure the story got told the way they meant it to.

Billie Joe mentioned that this project is currently on hold to work on their music. So whether or not this movie will ever actually get made is unknown.
