The latest band to use a semi-surprise show at an intimate California venue to test out new material, Green Day hit the Tiki Bar in Costa Mesa, California this past Thursday and reportedly played as many as 15 new songs. Two OK-quality recordings have since hit the web and you can check out clips of tracks titled “Last Gang in Town” and “Amy” below. (It helps to turn your headphones all the way up.) The latter, as you may have guessed, is a tribute to the late Amy Winehouse. The band has since posted the lyrics to the track here; the concert’s setlist is posted below.
There’s no word on when Green Day plan to the follow up to 2009’s 21st Century Breakdown, but we’ll keep you updated.
