New 'These Paper Bullets' promo featuring vocals from Billie Joe

By Matt /Sep. 19, 2015 / Comments

To celebrate 'These Paper Bullets' making its debut at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles, the Beatles-esque musical has released a new promo featuring a song with vocals by Billie Joe.

Billie Joe wrote the songs for the musical but we have yet had the opportunity to hear him perform the songs. The newly-released song, one that has been in the musical but not publicly released, can be heard below.

There are a few other songs released from the musical (without Billie Joe vocals); those can be heard here.

'These Paper Bullets' is at the Geffen Playhouse in LA now through October 18th. The musical will also be making its New York City debut later this year at the Linda Gross Theater November 20, 2015 - January 10, 2016.
