GD’s Billie Joe Armstong and Mike Dirnt along with touring guitarist Jason white, audio engineer Chris Dugan and tour manager Bill Schneider to create a cover-band so appropriately billed as the Coverups. The not-so-cover band played this week at the small venue, Thee Parkside in San Francisco this week.

Thanks to AltPress for turning us on to this.

Green Day did this last year at a tiny bar in Albany, New York back in January. The show never advertised anything about Green Day, how neat is that?!
