Foxboro Hot Tubs' First Gig Ever: Pimp Jackets, Chains and a Green Day Cover

Foxboro Hot Tubs hit the stage last night for the very first time, and if their attire doesn't entice you to see them live — the set list will.

According to GreenDayAuthority.com, the band's fanclub, singer Billie Joe Armstrong Reverend Strychnine Twitch hit the tiny stage at Oakland, California's The Stork Club at 11 p.m. He was reportedly dressed in a pimp jacket, chain necklaces, white sunglasses and had a head full of spiky blond and black hair. The rest of the Foxboro Hot Tubs were dressed to impress as well — complete with stylish outfits straight out of the '60s.

GreenDayAuthority.com reports that The Tubs pounded through all 13 tracks from their debut album, Stop, Drop and Roll!!!, which is due Tuesday. And then came the two biggest surprises of the night: The band performed "Supermodel Robots" by The Network (Green Day's other "secret" side project) and then the seldom-played-live Green Day tune "Blood, Sex and Booze" (from 2000's Warning). The band returned to the stage for an encore that was packed with cover songs.

im jealous as well! green day are still my favourite band!!!! i think its a right choice for them to come back slowly from American Idiot without actually coming back... if you know what i mean. coming up with a normal album would be boring... plus its hard to follow up to American Idiot. Theyre planning it out and its going well.

Actually... that's not what they're doing at all. They're having fun with music just like they did with The Network. This is a completely different thing from Green Day.
