Green Day Premiere 'Stray Heart' Video From Album 'Dos!'

Green Day are certainly not wasting any time when it comes to promoting their newest album "Dos!". A day after launching the album on the web via streaming at Rolling Stone.com, the trio premiere the new clip for "Stray Heart" which is the first track to be taken from the second part of their trilogy set called "Uno!", "Dos!", "Tre!"

The Robert Schober-directed video is nothing short of amusing as it features a man's heart literally jumping off a window to look for some debauched adventure of its own. The heart checks out strip clubs and goes bar-hopping for short-time fun with gorgeous girls while puffing a cigar and getting hard on the booze.

Meanwhile, the chase begins as the man tries to catch his heart and put it back where it belongs so that they can go home to his girlfriend who is naturally furious about the whole infidelity matter. At the end, the heart decides to go back to his master, but both end up kicked out and dumped.

Green Day seem to be at a good start with this new promo for "Dos!". The album will hit stores November 13. "Tre!", the third part of the album trilogy, was also moved to an earlier release date. It will arrive December 11.

Artist of the Week: Green Day

Green Day are expecting to outdo their best-selling album "Dookie" (1994) with not just one, but three albums as a follow up to their 2009 studio installment "21st Century Breakdown". The punk rock band have prepared a trilogy of albums called "Uno!", "Dos!" and "Tre!" that will all be released within five months starting September this year.

The first installment, which is set to be unleashed September 25, has spawned three singles. The lead single "Oh Love" made it into Billboard Hot 100, and peaked at No. 3 on Alternative Songs chart and No. 1 on Rock Songs chart. Though the second and third singles, "Kill the DJ" and "Let Yourself Go", weren't as successful as the first one in the U.S., they still performed well in several other countries.

To Rolling Stone, vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong claimed that the upcoming album would be "punchier, more power pop - somewhere between AC/DC and the early Beatles" than their previous albums. As for the difference of the three records, he explained, "Uno! is more of a power-pop record, Dos! is more of a party, garage record, and Tre! is sort of this epic ending..."

In a series of efforts to promote the album, Green Day have performed at a number of gigs, including the prestigious MTV Video Music Awards. Though Armstrong was admitted to a hospital reportedly due to "gastric problems" just days before the prize-giving event, the three-piece group managed to take the stage at Staples Center as scheduled.

Amid report that Billie Joe Armstrong was hospitalized due to illness, Green Day release a music video to promote their latest single "Kill the DJ". The punk rock band consisting of Mike Dimt and Tre Cool in addition to Armstrong first performed the dance music in front of a surprised crowd in Los Angeles' Echoplex.

In the said visuals, the trio is riding motorcycles separately in a desert. The footage cuts to a club scene where men and women are partying, while the members of the band walk in between them to make it to the stage. A couple of seconds later, two women fight in front of a man wearing an animal suit, and the dancers are covered in blood.

The song is a part of the upcoming album trilogy "Uno!", "Dos!" and "Tre!" which will be released in the United States on September 25, November 13 and January 15 respectively. According to Billie Joe, the song is straight-up dance music and has a four-on-the-floor type of rhythm. He said that he had never done it before and compared it to Ian Dury's "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" and Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love".

Green Day will perform this September 6 on the stage of Staples Center for the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards. Despite Billie Joe's hospitalization, the band will perform as scheduled. They are joined in the lineup by Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and One Direction.
