Foxboro Hot Tubs /

The Foxboro Hot Tubs is a side project of Green Day. All members of the band perform live with Green Day (with the exception of Kevin Preston) . Their debut album, Stop Drop and Roll!!! was released on April 22, 2008. As with Green Day's suspected other side project (The Network), Billie Joe Armstrong adopted an alter ego who goes by the name Reverend Strychnine Twitch. In 2008, the band embarked on a small tour in the Bay Area, touring tiny club venues. The band was brought to the attention of Green Day fans through messages sent to a select few members of the Idiot Club (Green Day's fan club) in December 2007, with three songs on their website. They formed with the idea that they "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" . While the band's history is, as yet, unknown, they comprise the official and backing members of Green Day (with the exception of Preston), who are performing "garage" music under a nom de plume. Fans of Foxboro Hot Tubs have noted, on the band's MySpace site, many musical similarities between the band and Green Day.
