The Network
Band Berkeley United States Formed 2003 new wave band; Green Day side-project
The Network formed in 2003 in Berkeley, United States. The Network has 4 chart appearances on 3 radio countdowns from 2 stations on RockLists, spanning 2003–2004. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Roshambo”, which appears on 3 lists with a best position of #73. The station that charted The Network most often is 91X (San Diego, CA / Tijuana), with 2 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2003.
The Network were a new wave gang out of Berkeley with a secret: they were a side project of Green Day. Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt both took lead vocals, with Armstrong on guitar, Dirnt on bass and Tré Cool on drums, while Jason White chipped in guitar, keyboards and backing vocals and Reto Peter added keytar to make it a six-piece.
Their debut, Money Money 2020, came out on Adeline Records on September 30, 2003, and it's a blast of jerky, cheap-synth punk that sounds like the band raided a thrift store full of old new wave records and tried on everything at once. "Roshambo" and "Spike" are all nervous energy and bleeping keyboards, silly and snotty and a lot of fun.
Then they went dark for 15 years before surfacing again with a sequel, Money Money 2020 Part II: We Told Ya So!, in December 2020.
