Green Day é uma banda de Punk Rock dos Estados Unidos, formada em 1987 em East Bay, Califórnia. Amigos de infância, Billie Joe Armstrong (vocalista / guitarrista) e Mike Dirnt (baixo / vocal) formaram sua primeira banda, “Sweet Children”, em Rodeo, Califórnia, quando tinham 10 anos de idade. Eles inventaram uma forma de fazer música que influenciam até hoje uma legião de bandas jovens. Se conheceram quando estudavam, num colégio chamado Pinolle Valey High School.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
