Historia
Billie Joe Armstrong (born February 17, 1972) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, and actor. Armstrong serves as the lead vocalist, primary songwriter, and lead guitarist of the punk rock band Green Day, co-founded with Mike Dirnt. He is also a guitarist and vocalist for the punk rock band Pinhead Gunpowder, and provides lead vocals for Green Day's side projects Foxboro Hot Tubs, The Network, The Longshot and The Coverups.
Raised in Rodeo, California, Armstrong developed an interest in music at a young age, and recorded his first song at the age of five. He met Mike Dirnt while attending elementary school, and the two instantly bonded over their mutual interest in music, forming the band Sweet Children when the two were 14 years old. The band changed its name to Green Day, and would later achieve commercial success. Armstrong has also pursued musical projects outside of Green Day's work, including numerous collaborations with other musicians.
In 1997, to coincide with the release of Nimrod, Armstrong founded Adeline Records in Oakland to help support other bands releasing music, and signed bands such as The Frustrators, AFI and Dillinger Four. The record company later came under the management of Pat Magnarella and finally shut down in August 2017.

Broadway Idiot follows Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong from a punk rock concert at Madison Square Garden to the opening of his musical American Idiot on Broadway - only ten blocks away, but worlds apart. From behind the curtain share in the crazy journey of turning the mega-hit album into a punk rock musical - and ultimately see how the world of theater transformed Billie Joe.
Green Day brought the first day of the Reading Festival to a vibrant close that cemented the view both veterans were trading on tried and tested values. Highlights from their trio of recent albums, notably the anthemic ’99 Revolutions’, contrasted well with crowd-pleasing rabble-rousers, among them ‘Know Your Enemy’. At the heart of the set was a run-through their breakthrough album Dookie, 20 years young next year. The punk-pop threesome sped through it so quickly that less memorable material was soon forgotten as they hurried to the evergreen ‘Basket Case’ and the romantic ‘She’.

El director y productor Judd Apatow ('Virgen a los 40'), regresa a su particular universo tragicómico derivado de la crisis de la mediana edad partiendo esta vez de dos personajes conocidos: Debbie (Leslie Mann) y Pete (Paul Rudd), el matrimonio que ya aparecía en su exitosa 'Lío embarazoso' y que ahora adquiere el máximo protagonismo en este spin-off titulado 'This Is 40'. A partir de ellos, el director profundizará en los conflictos derivados del matrimonio y la familia a partir de sus altibajos, sus incovenientes y sus problemas, así como en las cuestiones derivadas en torno a la paternidad. Si en 'Lío embarazoso' descubríamos que esta pareja no era todo lo equilibrada y madura que podría parecernos en un principio, ahora descubriremos por qué, nos introduciremos en sus excentricidades y en la forma en la que afrontan las responsabilidades.

Es increíble la energía y el entusiasmo que muestran los tres chicos de California (+ acompañante) inmediatamente después de entrar al escenario. La gran audiencia japonesa se vuelve loca mientras el espectáculo perfectamente coordinado sigue su curso. El líder Billie Joe Armstrong interpreta al cerdo salvaje, anima a 20.000 personas a cantar, aplaudir y alejarse. En el fondo, los horizontes resplandecientes se amontonan en la enorme pantalla LED, se disparan petardos, enormes dragones de fuego silban entre los punk rockers, la luz baila perfectamente al ritmo de la música. ¿Qué más quieres? La selección de canciones es genial. Si no se trata solo de los grandes éxitos esta vez, automáticamente te catapultan a los viejos tiempos. Canciones como "Geek Stink Breath", "Welcome To Paradise" o "My Generation" hacen que el corazón de los fans lata mucho más rápido. Aparte de algunos efectos innecesarios, el sonido y la imagen son perfectos.

During their 15-year band history, they have been thrilling their fans with electrifying live shows. Whatever you think, the band exudes pure boisterous energyand has never failed to impress their audience. Onstage, they deliver a slim, highly energetic extravaganza that avoids the usual frills of state-of-the-art stage technology: no hydraulic ramps, no laser guns, no video screens, thank you verymuch.

Undeniably one of the most important and influential gay music acts in the last twenty years, Pansy Division pioneered the "queercore" genre long before other gay musicians had the confidence to come out of the closet, and without major record label support or mainstream radio airplay. Using original and archive footage and covering over fifteen years as a group, Pansy Division: Life in a Gay Rock Band is a fast-paced, intimate and humorous account of one of rock's most fearless acts. From their first days in San Francisco's underground music scene to a full-fledged stadium tour with Green Day and beyond, founding members Jon Ginoli and Chris Freeman overcome increasingly difficult line-up changes, prejudice and near-poverty to keep the band together and create music that has truly made a difference.
