This is the album that changed everything for me.
When 'Dookie' was released on Feb 1st, 1994, I was a lost kid looking for something to call my own. Green Day was the band I had been waiting for, and this album was my gateway into a world I didn't even know existed. It is because of this album that I first picked up a guitar, and wanted to start writing and playing music of my own.
In celebration of the 30th Anniversary, we decided to cover the whole record in its entirety.
We'll have a different vocalist on each track, all bringing their own spin to these incredible songs.
I must also acknowledge how special it is to have Dan Vapid join us on this cover. It's a full circle moment for me. The first time I was fortunate enough to see Green Day live was on Oct 25th, 1995 at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, during their Insomniac Tour.
Not knowing who the opening act was, we arrived early to make sure to catch this band I had never heard of - The Riverdales. I remember thinking, “these guys sound a lot like the Ramones”, and I was sold. I've been a huge fan of all of Dan Vapid’s bands ever since: Sludgeworth, The Mopes, The Riverdales, Screeching Weasel, The Methdones, his time spent in The Queers, and of course, Dan Vapid and The Cheats. It's truly an honour having him sing this classic Green Day song, 'Welcome To Paradise', on our 30 Years Of Dookie tribute!
