ABC/Heidi GutmanGreen Day‘s Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt have a new band called The Coverups, and they played a secret show in San Francisco Thursday night.
As their name suggests, The Coverups play only covers. According to Billboard, the group, which also includes Green Day’s touring guitarist Jason White, played songs by artists including Tom Petty, David Bowie and The Replacements for the 100-person capacity crowd at SF dive bar Thee Parkside.
Billboard reports that Green Day drummer Tre Cool was in attendance at the show, but he’s not an official Coverups member. Still, Armstrong cajoled him into playing drums on a cover of The Ramones‘ “Sheena Is a Punk Rocker.”
The Coverups have previously played two similarly intimate shows, so maybe they’ll stop by a dive bar near you.
