21st CENTURY BREAKDOWN
22 October - 1 November 2009
Internationally renowned band, Green Day has commissioned 21 original pieces of art inspired by music from the band's most recent album release, 21st Century Breakdown.
The paintings will be shown exclusively at the StolenSpace Gallery in Shoreditch, East London from 22nd of October until 1st of November to coincide with Green Day's sold out UK concert tour and opening the day before the band's two sold-out performances at the O2 Arena in London.
The band, who have sold over 60 million albums world-wide, feel that art and music share a common bond. "We're really excited to be associated with this incredible show," Green Day front-man Billie Joe Armstrong said. "Seeing the pieces that our new album has inspired is very exciting. We feel a strong connection to that type of creative expression; we think the fans coming out will love it."
The show's curator, artist, Logan Hicks, said that the gallery will feature contributions from an international pool of artisans, such as world renowned New York-based painter Ron English, Amsterdam-based street artists The London Police, French stencil artist C215, British illustrator Will Barras along with artists Eelus, Chris Stain, Sixten, Adam 5100 and more. Each of the collaborating artists were each sent through a lyric sheet and asked to produce a piece of art that reflected that song, to highlight the connection between music and art.
"I chose artists whom I felt had a similar visual approach to art as Green Day does to its music," said Hicks, a stencil artist and die-hard punk-rock fan, whose portraits of band members Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool, and Mike Dirnt will also be on display. "Although most of the artists represented are well-established in their careers, they embrace the same emotional rawness with their art, which speaks from the heart and swings with the fist.
"Their subject matter is struggle and injustice -- they shoot from the hip and their art is their weapon."
A number of the participating artists were featured with Hicks in Banksy's "Cans Festival" which took place last year in an abandoned taxi tunnel behind Waterloo Station and attracted over 120,000 people on opening weekend.

GREEN DAY US TOUR TO FEATURE A ROVING GALLERY SHOWArtists Such as Ron English, The London Police, and C215 Created Work Inspired by Each Track on Band's Latest Album 21st Century Breakdown
BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Green Day have a special treat in store for fans attending their U.S. tour this summer. A roving art gallery will be set up at each venue to display work by a collection of eclectic artists from around the world, each of whom has been asked to create an original piece inspired by a track on Green Day's new album 21st Century Breakdown.
The show is curated by New York-based stencil artist and die-hard punk-rock fan Logan Hicks, whose portraits of band members Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool, and Mike Dirnt will also be on display. A passionate art and music lover, Hicks has assembled an impressive group of noted artists - including world-renowned New York-based painter Ron English, Amsterdam-based street artists The London Police, French stencil artist C215, and British illustrator Will Barras - to show the connection between music and art.
"I chose artists whom I felt had a similar visual approach to art as Green Day does to its music," Hicks says. "Although most of the artists represented are well-established in their careers, they embrace the same emotional rawness with their art, which speaks from the heart and swings with the fist. Their subject matter is struggle and injustice-they shoot from the hip and their art is their weapon."
"We are really excited to be touring with this incredible show," says Armstrong. "Seeing the pieces that our new album has inspired is very exciting. Many of the artists Logan has chosen show their work on the street, and we feel a strong connection to that type of creative expression. We think the fans coming out to see us on the road will love it."
Green Day's 2009 trek is the band's first proper tour of the United States and Canada in more than three years. The tour began July 3rd at Seattle's Key Arena and will cross North America through the summer, including a July 27th stop at New York City's Madison Square Garden before finishing up with a show at the Forum in Los Angeles on August 25th.

Press Release:
GREEN DAY'S U.S. TOUR KICKS OFF WITH A BANG OVER JULY 4TH WEEKEND
CRITICS RAVE OVER EARLY SHOWS IN SEATTLE AND VANCOUVER
Burbank, CA - Reprise Records' Green Day launched their North American tour with a bang over the holiday weekend with shows in Seattle on July 3rd and Vancouver on July 4th and the rave reviews are pouring in. Take a look at what critics are saying about the first two shows on the multi-platinum band's first proper tour of the United States and Canada in more than three years.
Rolling Stone: "as if releasing a wave of energy that had been building up during their four-year hiatus from touring, Green Day poured all their heart and soul into a powerhouse two-hour set."
SPIN: "The band's relationship with its audience is disarmingly real, a cross-generational give-and-take that's as punk as any Gilman Street scroungers today."
Seattle Times: "There are few bands that can hold an audience from the front of the stage to the bleeders the way Green Day can."
Seattle Weekly: "Green Day is clearly a band intent on giving people their money's worth and thoroughly enjoying themselves in the process, which are ultimately the most important ingredients for a satisfying arena rock show."
The Province: "Full points to the production values on this baby. Constant 'statement' visual montages played across the giant rear screen all night. A never-ending array of drum-triggered strobes and follow spots galore did exactly what good stage design should: It made everything epic."
Vancouver Sun: "This reviewer's throat felt like grated up mozzarella by the end of that final encore, it was worth every single holler. Every single yelp and whistle. Every ear-splitting minute of it. It was an awesome Independence Day show, f-bombs, fireworks, punk 'tude, anthems and all."
Green Day, which is singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool, are touring in support of their eighth studio album 21st Century Breakdown, which has recently been certified gold by the R.I.A.A. Produced by Butch Vig, 21st Century Breakdown was released by Reprise Records on May 15th, 2009, and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, as well as on the Rock, Active Rock, and Alternative charts. The album, which has already spawned the Alternative radio hit singles "Know Your Enemy" and "21 Guns," also topped the charts in 24 countries including the UK, Canada, and Japan.
Green Day's tour will cross North America through the summer, including a stop July 27th and 28th at New York City's Madison Square Garden, before finishing up with a show at the Forum in Los Angeles on August 25th. Please visit http://www.greenday.com/ for more information.

Selling nearly 50 million records worldwide, Green Day has won critical acclaim and numerous accolades including three Grammy® Awards for Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot, and Record of the Year for their smash hit "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". Green Day recently released their eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, on Warner Music Group's Reprise Records. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, as well as on the Rock, Active Rock, and Alternative charts, fueled by the Alternative radio No. 1 single "Know Your Enemy." 21st Century Breakdown, which Rolling Stone has called "a rock opera in which the rock always comes first," is also a hit around the world topping the charts in 24 countries including the UK, Canada, and Japan.
Green Day - vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool - were three kids from working-class backgrounds who came of age in the underground punk scene in Berkeley, California. Even though they had released two records prior (1039 / Smooth Out Slappy Hours and Kerplunk), they announced their arrival with 1994's Dookie, a blast of punk-pop that spoke to bored teenagers everywhere. The album eventually sold 15 million copies worldwide, earned the band their first Grammy Award and inspired a raft of imitators. Over the years, Green Day continued to top the charts with their subsequent studio albums Insomniac, Nimrod, and Warning while entertaining millions of fans with their frenetic live shows. But it was their landmark 2004 album American Idiot that launched Green Day into the stratosphere. An artistic leap forward, American Idiot is a punk rock opera and sarcastic middle-finger salute to the Administration that captured the cultural and political landscape at that time. "Jesus of Suburbia" set the tone by telling a tale of choosing between self-destruction and redemption that resonated with listeners of all ages, nationalities, and political persuasions. American Idiot debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart and went on to sell more than five million copies in the U.S. and 12 million worldwide. It spawned five hit singles, earned seven Grammy nominations (winning two including Rock Album of the Year) and raised the bar for modern rock and roll.
Originally launched on November 20, 2007, Rock Band is the ground-breaking, billion dollar selling franchise1 and music video game leader in paid song sales (over 45 million paid individual songs) and downloadable content with more than 700 tracks available to date via disc and download purchase (complete list of tracks at www.rockband.com/music). Rock Band and Rock Band 2 are available for Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 system, PlayStation 2 system and Wii.

GREEN DAY LAUNCH FIRST EUROPEAN TOUR IN FOUR YEARS
MULTI-PLATINUM BAND HIT THE ROAD IN SUPPORT OF NEW ALBUM, 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN, TO BE RELEASED WORLDWIDE ON FRIDAY, MAY 15TH, 2009
Burbank, CA - Reprise Records' Grammy® Award-winning rock band Green Day will hit the road for their first European tour since 2005 beginning on September 28th, 2009, in Lisbon, Portugal. The tour, which launches after the band complete the first leg of their North American tour in August, will criss-cross Europe through the fall and finish up with a show in Turin, Italy, on November 12th.
Green Day are touring in support of their long-awaited eighth studio album 21st Century Breakdown, which will be released globally by Reprise Records on Friday, May 15th, 2009. Singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool have been at work writing, arranging, and recording 21st Century Breakdown since early 2006 with producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins). The first single, "Know Your Enemy" was released globally to radio and digital retailers on April 16th. The video premiered globally, including on MTV and VH1's international channels, on April 24th.
Green Day recently performed 21st Century Breakdown in its entirety during a series of warm-up club shows for hometown fans in California's Bay Area. In its review of a show at Oakland's Fox Theater, U.S. magazine Rolling Stone commented that the band, augmented by guitarists Jason White and Jeff Matika, and keyboardist Jason Freese, had the "Quadrophenia-like hang of 21st Century Breakdown 's classic rock melodies and lifetime-punk drive down solid" and that the album is "rock opera in which the rock always comes first." "21st Century Breakdown is Green Day's best album," the reviewer concluded, "and at the Fox, they proved that the rock opera can be as punk as a Clash 45."
21st Century Breakdown is Green Day's first studio album since 2004's two-time Grammy Award-winning punk-rock opera American Idiot, which went to No. 1 in nine countries (including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, and Australia), spent six weeks atop the European chart, spawned five hit singles, and went on to sell more than 12 million copies worldwide.

However don’t let the diminutive nature of Armstrong’s axe convince you that his tone is any less aggressive than his peers, because listening to the band’s opus American Idiot, it’s clear that the exact opposite is true. Green Day’s next album will reportedly be out next summer and we can’t wait to see what Armstrong is able to pull off with a little help from his Les Paul Jr. More @ Gibson.com: here.

Green Day of the Year @ Detroit News: here.
Foxboro Hot Tubs, "Stop Drop and Roll!!!": While the world eagerly awaits the follow-up to 2004's "American Idiot" -- one of the decade's essential recordings -- Green Day sneaked out this playful collection of '50s-style garage rockers, under the pseudonym Foxboro Hot Tubs.

Will you take a minute to read this message from Robert Redford and then act? President Bush is only going to be in office for another month or so, but he can do a lot of damage between now and January 20th. Join me in taking action now to help save our Redrock wilderness.
Rock on,
Billie Joe

COLDPLAY - MARTIN: 'THE BEST BANDS ARE ON HOLIDAY' @ Contact Music: here.
Humble COLDPLAY star CHRIS MARTIN insists his band is the best on the world because U2 and GREEN DAY are on vacation.
The British singer/songwriter admits his group will slip down the list of great bands once U2 and Green Day return with new albums in 2009.
Martin says, "The reason we're the biggest band in the world at the moment is because the others are on holiday. That's how you get your breaks. That's how the understudy gets his opportunity. "While U2 and Green Day are away, we've gotten to make the most of it."

Bono by Billie Joe @ Rolling Stone: here.
I would describe Bono's singing as 50 percent Guinness, 10 percent cigarettes — and the rest is religion. He's a physical singer, like the leader of a gospel choir, and he gets lost in the melodic moment. He goes to a place outside himself, especially in front of an audience, when he hits those high notes. That's where his real power comes from — the pure, unadulterated Bono. He talks about things he believes in, whether it's world economics or AIDS relief in Africa. But the voice always comes first. That's where his conviction lies. [ Full article by Billie Joe ]

Obama Thanks Traveling Press for “A Good Long Ride” @ Columbia Journalism Review: here
As a long, intensive, work-filled school year comes to a close—as graduation nears, as vacation approaches—the weather isn’t the only thing that tends to warm. Nostalgia takes over. Hatchets are buried. Green Day’s “Time of Your Life” takes on special meaning. And you find yourself, not knowing what’s possessed you, scrawling “Don’t ever change!” in the yearbook of Ricky, that guy from homeroom who sat in the back and kept to himself and who you might have exchanged three words with over the course of your shared educational experience..

Oh My!
My dear Tub Heads,
The first thing I want to say is,
and I quote, "Aaaaarrrrrrooufjdjdidsndbvhdhuydhjhyhfjd!!!!!!!"
We hit the sunset strip and a RIOT it was! All the honeydips and alligators were sunburned and packed into the hall called The Roxy! We shared the trip with Girls With Guns and sugartowns finest Mystic Knights of the Cobra. The crowd took down the stage, the monitor man did a dive and we took LSD in an asortment of tropical flavors!
STING!!!!
We hit the hotel with a freakshow of Girls and Cobras. We tried to wake my man Morrisey with soccer chants but we ended up naked in the pool where we were welcomed by the Hollywood Po Po at 4:00 am! STING!!!
Last show was LBC where we practiced some lushotology at the establishment , Pikes pub and fish grill.. Then to the club called Alex's Bar. The day of the dead decor was on fire! Tall boys of Tacate and Pabst blue ribbon unraveled through the house! Damn! I want to thank Alex for lending me his surfboard for the me and One Eye Jack's grand entrance to the stage! It was a perfect ending!
STING STING STING!
And with that said, thanks to all the Tub Heads for coming out for our first tour. Will there be more?
I got you on my mind, england...STING!!!!!

Green Day Exclusive: Yes, They Are Foxboro Hot Tubs, Just In Case There Was Any Doubt @ MTV: here.
You can't argue with that logic. And if you can't wait for "any day," you can download the first single from the album, "The Pedestrian," right now on the band's Web site, FoxboroHotTubsDownload.com. Whenever the vinyl version is released — on "Jingle Town Records," which astute Green Day fans will recognize as the suburban setting of most of American Idiot — the Hot Tubs want you to know that they plan on touring in support of it, and they're looking to line up a couple of pretty solid openers to fill out the bill.
"All things considered, either the Network or Green Day would make excellent openers for a FBHT tour," they wrote. "Anyone know how to book a tour?"
