If you've ever heard of this band--Respond. If not, don't bother.?

Question

The Network. 2003 Adeline records. Starring members of Greenday in disguise. They also have a dvd called Disease is Punishment. I asked a couple of days ago and nobody here had heard of them! I can't be the only one who bought the cd? Just curious.

Answer 1

G'day Watsername,

The Network is a 6-piece New Wave band and a side-project of at least one member of the band Green Day. They released their debut album Money Money 2020 on the independent record label Adeline Records on September 30, 2003. A re-release of the album, with two bonus tracks, followed in 2004. Billie Joe Armstrong co-owns Adeline Records.

The only confirmed member of the band is Billie Joe Armstrong, vocalist/guitarist of Green Day. The stage names of The Network are Fink, The Snoo, Van Gough, Captain Underpants, Z. and Balducci.

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has written songs for Pinhead Gunpowder under the alias "Wilhelm Fink". Fink of The Network and Armstrong are also both born under the same astrological sign: Aquarius. The official Network Web site also claims that Fink financed the band, when in actuality this was done by Armstrong.

Armstrong denies the involvement of any Green Day members in The Network. Although the style of music is different (New Wave as opposed to Green Day's pop punk style), Armstrong's voice can be unmistakably made out on several Money Money 2020 tracks.In a recorded statement at the Green Day website Armstrong says "I just wanted to talk about the rumours and the bullsh*t that has been going on lately. All I gotta say is **** The Network. These guys are totally spreading rumours. I try to do those guys a favour by bringing them to this country and putting out their record and this is how I get repaid, by talking **** about my band. Unfortunately there is a contract and I have to put out their record. The only thing I can say is "**** you Network, bring it on".

The bassist for The Network ("Van Gough") and the bassist for Green Day (Mike Dirnt) are both vegetarians[6].

Warner/Chapell Music accidentally proved that members of Green Day are involved in The Network by citing the three Green Day members as having writing credits to the The Network's song "Roshambo".

There is a great deal of speculation as to the identities of the other members in the band. The two other members of the band could be Reto Peter (suggested to be Captain Underpants), a Swiss producer, and Chris Dugan (suggested to be Z), a sound engineer. This is supported by an obviously faked press conference seen at the end of the DVD Disease is Punishment where questions by the press are answered in Swiss German by one of the band members. Reto Peter is also the co-producer of Money Money 2020 and one of its songs is called "Reto". Chris Dugan is the sound engineer for Money Money 2020 and the mixer for Disease is Punishment. He is also credited with the production of a Green Day B Side "Governator". It has also been rumored that at least one member of Devo is a member of the Network.

I'd hang on to your Network CD. It could be worth big money one day.
