I believe it's sold out.  Other one wasn't yet when I last checked.  Man I wish I could justify a last minute trip to the states in the middle of exam season.

Redwood bar is sold out per the event bright link from his story. I just clicked on it too see how much they were (Not that I can go... responsible adult living in kansas, dammit).

Hello Andres.

ticket says the show is from 8-11:30, so I'm guessing he'll be playing some GD songs too?

I don't know how hopeful I should be for an East Coast show

But :runaround:

I wonder what the capacity is of these places.

I believe the place in Costa Mesa holds about 300.

id be willing to bet that there will be 2 opening bands, first starting at 8, second at 9, and that he'd play at 10 for an hour and a half. that would leave time for a few gd songs, i doubt he has an hour and a half of longshot material...

Maybe they’ll do Longshot and some Coverups covers since they just had a lot of practice with those. Depends who the band turns out to be I guess.

oh yeah for sure, whether the coverups gang is there or not, he'll definitely throw in a bunch of covers..

inb4 green day pops out on stage like a secret show. imagine if the longshot is just the new name they book secret GD shows under before album releaes instead of FBHT lmao. (this is a semi-joke. while i wish this was a thing we all would assume by now this is something real and separate from GD)).

Anyone want to trade me my wayfarer ticket for a Redwood ticket? PLEASE? 😩😩😩

Yes, Daniels.

Gotta disagree on this one with all due respect.

I think there is nothing that different about this then a variable sounding Green Day album.

Network was just a different beast and Tubbies was really just St. Jimmy and Longshot is Billie wanting to play with his peeps while the boys chill. Just a gusss but I’m rather impressed with the songs but underwhelmed by the production and difference in sound for a side project. The GD fan in me loves that but the artist wants to see more and different from Billie.

Going old school or even classic to me doesn’t count as eclectic or artsy at all. In fact, I would not consider the three released tracks as “artsy” by any stretch.

NOW, BEFORE anyone yells at me, it’s just my opinion off of a couple listens. My opinions of new Billie/GD stuff can and often does change. Either way, my opinion only.

I understand and I also think it is a way for Billie to stay busy while the guys take break

Well, yes, Billie Joe stopped being ''eclectic'' after 21st Century Breakdown, in that sense... I had a period of me thinking, ''OH GOSH I WISH GD WOULD RELEASE HUGE STUFF'' but then I gave up. I'm ok with these Longshots songs. They're basically Green Day songs with a few classic rock guitar licks here and there. And I like it, even if I understand that they're not THAT interesting from a musical point of view. Warning after Nimrod was interesting, if that makes sense. Again: I WANT THE CD.

The Redwood is tiny; just a small little bar. I’m guessing 100 people maybe? It’s a weird shape too, so much of the crowd has to stand by the bar once the floor fills near the “stage”. 

I was able to grab a pair of tickets. I don’t know what to expect but I’m all in.

Concerts only in California... Damned it! I'm living on the other side of North America and I still have 2 weeks and a half left of school. I can't go to those concerts.

After the Coverups, the Longshot are making people going crazy. It almost feel like Billie decided that for 2018 he will mess with everybody mind with weird promotion online for side projects.

For real, he’s done more with these side projects with respect to promotion and social media than Green Day did for the RevRad tour 😂. I’m exhausted trying to keep up. I don’t know how he gets any real work done when he’s online all the time.

This sounds amazing!

Apparently he just posted and removed this? It was a clip of a song called The Last Time. It was hashtaged as These Paper Bullets too.

Edit: its on the longshot account now.

A TV performance or two would be rad. In LA?

 

How were these shows announced?

I checked on the 'billiejoearmstrong' or 'longshot' instagram pages and saw nothing. :ermm:

Who knows, maybe someone from Hollywood will send a reporter or TV crew...
