¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! are set to drop between September 2012 and January 2013.
We knew Green Day were in the studio, but we never could have guessed what they had in store.
According to a press release from the band Wednesday (April 11), Green Day are recording a trilogy of albums — appropriately titled ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! — which will be released between September 2012 and January 2013.
"We are at the most prolific and creative time in our lives," Green Day said in the statement. "This is the best music we've ever written, and the songs just keep coming. Instead of making one album, we are making a three album trilogy. Every song has the power and energy that represents Green Day on all emotional levels. We just can't help ourselves ... We are going epic as f---!"
That excitement echoes a tweet from frontman Billie Joe Armstrong just a few months ago on Valentine's Day, which first tipped us off to the impending 21st Century Breakdown follow-up(s). "Happy Valentine's Day!" Armstrong wrote on Twitter. "Officially started recording the new record today. It's F--- TIME!!!!"
¡Uno! — which drops September 25 — will be Green Day's first studio album since 2009's Breakdown. And ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! (whose title eschews the Español pattern in favor of drummer Tre Cool's first name) will follow soon after, on November 13 and January 15, respectively. Green Day have reunited with producer Rob Cavallo and are recording in their hometown of Oakland, California.
The guys are touring overseas this summer, hitting festivals in Japan and France in August and Germany and Italy in early September. Last year, the band played a secret show in California that included a reported 15 new songs, though it's not known if those songs will make any of the three new albums.

"On a quiet street in Ankara, an American Flag burned. Its stars and its stripes slowly wilting like a dying flower. But all that was dying in that Turkish road was one lone fan's belief in the power of the American VMA viewing audience. Who had rejected the infinitely better Green Day for the tumblr-powered recent ascent of a girl who dyed her hair...."
This is Andrew Fitzgerald's classic re-envisioning of the polemic events that occurred at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. In this seminal piece of meme historical fiction, the Kanye West / Taylor Swift controversy never happened. Instead after Green Day won the best rock video, Hayley the neon redheaded Paramore vocalist jumped on stage to utter those immortal words "sup Green Day? ur musik stop bein' relevant when I was 6."
"The twenty year old caused controversy, when her fans used social networking sites demanding a VMA recall. This never happened, which led to the most perasive meme of late summer 2009."
"This event entered the monumental canon of memes, once it was legitimized by Xzibit".
The realm of meme historical fiction is a new art form that dates all the way back to the Balloon Boy era of internet meme-itude. The Current Comedy Blog believes this is the future of fiction, and that's why we courageously published the writings of Andrew Fitzgerald. It's kind of like Fitzgerald is Michael Moore, trying to release the controversial Fahrenheit 9/11. Nobody wants to release it, because it's too real. But I'm like Harvey Weinstein, because I actually have the guts to publish this work of genius.
If you have any meme historical fiction that you'd like published, hit me up."On a quiet street in Ankara, an American Flag burned. Its stars and its stripes... more
