Green Day @ Emo's Thursday

Actually, it is the Foxboro Hot Tubs, which is Green Day playing 60's type pop.

That place will be nuts.

Foxboro Hot Tubs at Emo’s Thursday

By Joe Gross | Tuesday, May 20, 2008, 11:36 AM

Foxboro Hot Tubs is the name Green Day is calling itself on the new album “Stop Drop and Roll.” The album comes out today.

It’s essentially Green Day sounding a lot like a ’60s garage/Beat band (Kinks, Sonics, etc.) Or Weezer.

Anyway, the band is playing the inside stage at Emo’s. Yes, you read that right. Inside. Which means a capacity of about 300.

Tickets only available at door, $20 a pop, limit two per purchase.

Good luck with this, Emo’s.

Coming in from DC to hangout in Austin for several days. How early should I get there to stand in line for tickets?

Seeing as how colleges are most likely done, Wednesday night.

So do they play any of their own songs at all or is it all 60's pop?

I think I heard 101.5 say they are giving away a couple of the "impossible to get" tickets. There are probably people in line now. Will any actually get out to the general public?

If you ain't in line, you ain't getting in. That room only holds a few hundred, and FHT is really strict about Emo's not providing any comps, guest lists, etc. They're turning everyone away, even folks like the Chronicle. Pretty damn cool that they're doing it at Emo's indoor, for the hardcore people that will wait in line anyway.
