The Foxboro Hottubs

Sporting alter egos and a retro sound, the Foxboro Hottubs are a unique band with a killer sound. The crew is consisted of 6 people, most of them having interesting alter egos. 4 of the 6, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, Tre' Cool, and Jason White all have alter egos. Billie Joe adopted the nickname Reverand Strychnie Twitch. Tre' Cool, embraced his real name, Frank Edwin Wright the 3rd. Mike used his real last name, making him Mike Pritchard. And Jason White's alter ego goes by the name Frisco Lee. Now I'm sure some of these names seem familiar, and you're right. This band is made up of the original members of Green Day. But don't be expecting Green Day to stop everything, because this little band is strictly a side project created just for fun. The bands' only record "Stop, Drop, and Roll" contains 12 hits including "Mother Mary", which made it big on the charts in Britain and America. The type of music played on the CD isn't like anything most of my generation has every heard, and that's why i love it. The music is so distinctive and colorful, i couldn't help but be stuck on it. It kind of has a 60's and 70's vibe, making it nostalgic and for me, likable. If you want a blast from the past, pick up "Stop, Drop, and Roll". I highly suggest this refreshing band.
