Foxboro Hot Tubs

The Foxboro Hot Tubs is an American rock n' roll band. The group made its debut in December 2007 with three songs on their website. Soon after, the Foxboro Hot Tubs was discovered and subsequently made headlines, being heralded as the next secret side project of Green Day, which was later confirmed by the band itself. Billie Joe Armstrong told NME magazine: "The only similarity between Green Day and Foxboro Hot Tubs is that we are the same band". His reasons for starting the band, also told to NME magazine, were that they "love to play music and be spontaneous, and after a few late-night jams and a few too many bottles of wine, we were inspired to record some rockin' eight-track recordings". In a similar manner to their other suspected side project The Network, Billie Joe has adopted an alter ego for Foxboro Hot Tubs – Reverend Strychnine Twitch. "Strychnine Twitch" is also mentioned in the lyrics to the title track, "Stop Drop And Roll": "Sixteen and a son of a bitch/got a gun and a strychnine twitch". In 2008, The Foxboro Hot Tubs went on a mini-tour to promote their record Stop Drop and Roll!, hitting tiny Bay Area venues including the Stork Club in Oakland and Toot’s Tavern in Crockett, California.
