Billie Joe in a new Tim Armstrong band
Billie Joe will be contributing in a band which Tim Armstrong created:
On January 19th, 2007, Tim Armstrong announced that he and some of his good friends will be working on a small recording project and tour, made to benefit many of the poor sections of Indonesia. No songs or tour dates have been announced as of yet.
He decided to begin working on benefit recordings and concerts due to his recent travels to Jakarta and other sects in the country. After discovering that Indonesia is the fourth largest country in population, and that half of the country's citizens live on less than $2 a day. He states that he was captivated by the people and the culture of the country, and that he is attempting to do whatever he can to help raise awareness and help benefit the country's economic resources and funds.
So far, Tim Armstrong has recruited all current Rancid members (Lars Frederiksen, Matt Freeman, Brandon Steineckert) as well as Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day, Pinhead Gunpowder), Travis Barker (blink-182, +44) and Vic Ruggiero (The Slackers). Rumour speculates that other artists such as Rob Aston (Transplants), Tre Cool (Green Day), Craig Fairbaugh (+44) and Davey Havok (AFI) will also contribute.

I studied Indonesian for two years and the people there are simply amazing. They do it tough, yet they still manage to be nothing but kind to visitors and one another. I'm glad that people in the position to help, are helping them.
... and ^LOL@Billie's attempt at making a tough face.
