Karl Gallagher - Tre' Cool
Karl has been listening to Green Day since
they broke onto the scene 15 years ago and theres not much he
doesnt know about the punk rockers. After spending the last 7
years studying to skills of Tre' Cool, he is the perfect performer
smashing the drums with plenty of 'very cool' charisma.

Carl Poelstra - Mike Dirnt
Playing the bass in a Green Day tribute
was never going to be an easy task because everyone who likes
Green Day knows Mike Dirnt is quite possibly the best bass player
in punk rock. Carl loves nothing more than playing live on stage
to hard core punkers thrashing out the bass to hits such as Stuck
With Me, Longview and many more.
