Not only has Green Day managed to stay together as a band and continue to pump out their catchy flavor of punk rock, but they've achieved a level of cult status rarely seen for punk bands. From their roots as a local California band with a small following, they've become a mega band playing the globe and probably the most influential punk band in existence over the past two decades.
Original formed under the name Sweet Children in 1987, the played local shows in California, immersing themselves in the punk scene before signing with Lookout! Records. Their first EP, titles "1,000 Hours" was released by Lookout!. They also decided to start appearing under the new name, Green Day to create separation between themselves and another band with a similar name to Sweet Children. Now, Green Day has released eight studio albums and sold over twenty-two million records, just in the United States.
The band members Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool have managed to stick together and find wild success, a rarity in the music business. Not only has the band stayed true to their roots and original music, but they've become iconic in the punk world and young musicians consider them an inspiration.
The 2009 Green Day concert tour, which is their first tour in three years, includes international dates. The tour leads off with, appropriately enough, a show in Seattle on July 3 before heading all over the globe in promotion of their latest album, "21st Century Breakdown". The album already has five hit singles and has sold more than twelve million copies.
Green Day has achieved iconic status over the years, going from a punk alternative band to a feature on major network magazines and interviews. As their tour geared up for launch, the band members were in extreme demand for interviews from all major networks.
