Green Day making ‘intimate’ stop at Shepherds Bush Empire
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 21 August 2012
Green Day have made the last-minute revelation that they’ll be playing an ‘intimate’ (ie not Wembley Stadium) date at London’s not-very-intimate Shepherds Bush Empire, a 2000 capacity venue. Pre-sale access to tickets for the show, which is happening this Thursday 23 Aug, is available to subscribers of the band’s ‘Idiot Club’ fanbase.
As previously reported, the first part of Billie Joe and co’s typist’s dream of a triple LP ‘¡Uno!’, ‘¡Dos!’ and ‘¡Tré!’ is out now, with the second and third volumes set for release on 12 Nov and 14 Jan respectively.
This is what they have to say about the album: “We are at the most prolific and creative time in our lives. This is the best music we’ve ever written, and the songs just keep coming. Instead of making one album, we are making a three album trilogy. Every song has the power and energy that represents Green Day on all emotional levels. We just can’t help ourselves… We are going epic as fuck!”
In other Green Day news, the band have been turned into green pigs for a spin-off edition of the ‘Angry Birds’ computer game. Over ten levels, you can now throw birds (angry ones) at the band’s snout-adorned faces, while listening to some of their music too.
Says frontman Billie Joe Armstrong: “We’re all fans of ‘Angry Birds’. It’s such an addictive game that when we first started playing it we couldn’t stop. Go Team Green!”
Here’s video evidence, should you still be unconvinced that this game exists:
