That's exactly what I thought. 

It would be a "longshot" for Billie to have more success that his band has.  But it could happen.  Goodnight, cruel Fools Day.

Am I wrong or The Coverups always played with 5 members? Maybe Mike is playing bass and Bill is not part of this. But I actually see 4 Billies in that art, so solo project confirmed :lol:

This person on the right has the same posture as Jeff... :whistle

To me, the one on the left and the second from the right are drummer and bassist who played in the Coverups, the one on the right does look like Jeff Matika, but the only Billie I see is the second from left, with these unmistakable big eyes :happy:

It would make sense that we find some Coverups' members in The Longshot, according to some admin here (I don't remember your name and am too lazy to fetch it, sorry) who said a few days ago that The Longshot is the Coverups' real band. As for Jeff Matika, I don't know...

Did anyone already noticed the bio description of The Longshot account:

New album "New album “Love is for Losers” coming eventually sooner or later. Probably sooner.

Greg Schneider put "Longshot" in his instagram bio. They're messing with us so much!

To be honest I don't think it's the same people who made The Coverups. It would be sensless to make such a mystery if everything except for name would be the same. And what with all those Primadonna hints? I think our first theory - Billie, Kevin, David and Jeff - has more sense.

Okay, now I can't go on the "Goodbye Green  Day, hello The Longshot" thread, I get this message:

"Access denied. You are not an exclusive member. The chances of you getting in here is quite a Longshot." although I could go there until now :cry:

Is this 1. some technical mistake 2. that thread is now for exclusive Longshot members as well 3. some personal treatment?  (yeah I'm paranoid)

I think things are going back to normal now, I can't see any of the other Longshot threads or the forum!

So after just looking at all the Long Shot insta activity on this forum rather than going to the account myself, I've just decided to take a look at it this morning and I've just seen that bio :D Exciting!

 

Also when I Googled "the long shot instagram account" one of the accounts was one for Long Shot Coffee... wonder if it is just a coincidence that this band shares a name with a coffee place in LA... we all know how much the guys love coffee!

Literally any of them could be Billie. Remarkable 

Darn these time zones, should have got in with "or none" but it's too late now - not that it would have fooled anybody but I think there are some really confused folk on here now!  So glad it's all getting back to normal. 

Honestly, I saw Prima Donna and was not overly impressed with them so if they are in Longshots, I hope they are overpowered by the Green Dayness of it all!

They are certainly having fun messing with us!

Kevin Preston did a great job as a member of FBHT so I think it'd be fine! I doubt much specific Prima Donna influence would come into it anyway but all they do is play fun garage type rock so I'm sure they'd fit in with whatever this is. I like Prima Donna (so much fun to see in a small club!) so I'm not worried in any case but yeah.

Can’t see the Dick Van Dyke ‘solo’ Billie thing on the Longshot account ... so must have been deleted

That they were the 100% legit tracklist of the album and definitely not an April Fool's joke :eyebrows:

"All My Songs Are About Amanda" was quite catchy, decent bassline.

No, some places skip straight to April 2nd for some reason.

Can’t remember the name but track number 7 was awesome.

Was that actually posted on the longshot Instagram account?.. I can see the account and I didn’t see that posted yesterday.

Either way it was an April Fool’s joke that either was totally faked or posted and taken down quickly.
