]]>Armstrong was visiting a local pub, Slim Jim’s Liquor Store, one night and was in attendance for a show by a band called Borderline Toxic. They were playing a set of covers that night and, at one point, started doing a rendition of Green Day’s “Basket Case”. Hearing his own song, Armstrong couldn’t help himself but jump on the stage and take part in the performance.
Borderline Toxic later shared the footage of the performance on their official Instagram.
“The moment your band gets joined on stage by your childhood idol to sing their own song with you… in your favourite dive bar!!” the band wrote in the caption.
Borderline Toxic’s lead singer Kerry Glass later told BBC that she was over the moon after playing with Armstrong as Green Day is one of her favorite bands.
“I used to sit in my bedroom and listen to all their albums. So I’ve got zero chills over this. This is amazing,” Glass shared.

]]>According to the press release, the project will be divided into five phases. Each phase will contain different releases and comes with special bonuses for collectors. This includes T-shirts and art from each period.
The reissues will kick off on April 30th with phase one that contains 1994’s compilation Jump Salty on vinyl and 7” version of Trundle & Spring EP.
This is the band’s second attempt to re-release their back catalog. They announced a similar project in 2010, when they were supposed to put out several EPs and albums on vinyl and CD, but gave up on the idea at the last moment.
Pinhead Gunpowder was formed in the early 1990s and consisted out of Armstrong on guitar and vocals, Aaron Cometbus on drums, Bill Schneider on bass, and Green Day’s touring member Jason White on guitar.
Over the years, the group released eight extended plays, three compilation albums, and one studio effort titled Goodbye Ellston Avenue. Their most recent release greatest hits album Kick Over the Traces, which came out in 2009.
Pinhead Gunpowder’s last live show was a charity concert in 2010 at Berkley’s 924 Gilman Street.
