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...

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.

So true! He is more free to do what he wants in terms of promotion with his side projects then with GD. It is just the way he is promoting those side projects that mess with people. I  mean it's hard to follow when Instagram accounts are so mysterious.

Even if I have all the reasons possible to not go to any concerts at all this year, I really hope the Longshot will do a show near where I live. I will go no matter what and I will not care about my budget/job/school.

Click the profile pic now the accounts. 

 

Thanks, I now see the video of the announcement.

So did fans find out about the show by clicking the Longshot Profile Pic every hour or so? The video only shows up after clicking, not from the stories. Or did Instagram send a notification?

I didn't join Instagram until the Coverups show, so I'm not familiar with it. Thanks,

I’ve been checking IG constantly lately for updates. I just happened to be one earlier and saw it there (the profile pic of the accounts you follow across the top gets lit up red when there’s a new story).

Are there any New York Shows!?

Hopefully the mistery of who is in the band will be kept untill the first concert.

I got used to not knowing what's going on.

@Admiral_Needa  I don’t get notifications about “stories”, just his regular posts. I just check my feed a lot throughout the day. The stories are there for 24 hours from when they are posted, same with “instagram live” videos (if saved).

Nope, hopefully soon though. I'm kind of bummed that Billie put it out there for everyone to know about, it's going to be a lot harder trying to get tickets now

Judging by how fast the first two sold out, yeah.

That clip of Last Time is my favorite so far

It took over an hour for the first two to sell out:confused:

"The Last Time" sounds like it was produced differently. Vocals are much more raw and the filter seems toned down. Seemed like the songs are inconsistently produced. This reminds me of RevRad, where songs like "Still Breathing" and "Ordinary World" had less noticeable filters, and other songs like "Outlaws" and the title track sounded like they were recorded in a tin can.

Regarding the members, I think Billie recorded all this on his own and any additional members are just for touring.

For a secret show, not to mention a secret show for a band that hasn't played live yet, that's impressive.

Me too. Apparently there's no reason for him to get all credits alone being in a side band with some well know musician or at least someone we know. 

Except for Jeff , I think he wouldn't bother not being in the spotlight.

Don't his kids play in bands? Could this be a family gig?

None of the lyric sites can figure out the chorus of Taxi Driver.   Just a bunch of ?????? on and on ?????

Although It was expected this time Given, Billie joe is the frontman.

There’s a high probability that you might run into Mike or Tre in the crowd!

For real, he rallied his base like a magician.
