Thank the Internet gods — Rancid’s Tim Armstrong is hosting a new, strange, musical theater-based anthology web-series.
The series is called Tim Timebomb’s RockNRoll Theater, and is supposed to be some kind-of crossover between Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Twilight Zone.
Armstrong talked to Rolling Stone about the project:
“I’m in love with the anthology television from the late Fifties, early Sixties – Twilight Zone, Thriller, Outer Limits, One Step Beyond, Alfred Hitchcock Presents. All those shows were anthology shows that would have a different story every week. But they all had one narrator, one personality that hosted it and that’s kind of my job on the RockNRoll Theater,” Armstrong tells Rolling Stone. I would be the host every episode. I open up and do the ending, I narrate the episode, and I do like a closing monologue.”
All in all, the show sounds pretty cool. Two episodes have been shot (but over 50 songs written so far for the series!) and will premiere October 21st on VEVO.
