Blink-182 Tour Party


To start the tour off right, Blink-182 had a party to celebrate and get to know each other better (with all the bands on tour with blink). The party was held at El Compadre Mexican Restaurant on Sunset in Hollywood, CA. Blink headed to their party after they played on the Jay Leno Show. Some of their fellow tour-mates from Weezer, Taking Back Sunday, Panic! at the Disco, and Chester French were there along with the boys and many other friends. OH! I forgot, a mariachi band was there too! Mariachi Voz de America covered songs from Blink, including "The Rock Show", "Dammit", "What's My Age Again?", "I Miss You" "All the Small Things", and "Josie" (All the Small Things and Josie are both played on the same video). Mark, Tom, and Travis seemed to really enjoy it, as well as I did too! (The videos on Youtube anyway).

*Taking Back Sunday* *Weezer*
*Chester French* *Panic! At the Disco*


“We’re actually here with all the bands and friends going out on tour — it’s always awkward when you first start touring, and it’s the first day and there’s a bunch of people walking around and you don’t know who you’re supposed to talk to or not, and some people are standoffish,” Blink bassist/singer Mark Hoppus told MTV News. “So we thought, ‘Why don’t we throw a big party before the tour, [so] everybody can come and hang out?’ You know, get some beans, eat some Mexican food, bond. The guys in Chester French gave me some flowers. We bonded. It’s going to be a good tour.”

AP has a video from the party: Blink and They're Back!
Mtv has an article and a video from the party as well.

Blink-182 on AP Magazine Cover


AP Magazine posted the new cover with Blink-182 on the new July issue. You can pre-order it now or you can wait till next month, either way, don't forget to get it!
These legendary SoCal pop-punk miscreants influenced generations to pick up guitars and drums to make soundtracks to their own poop jokes. Just don’t call it a “reunion.”

Blink-182 on KROQ


Blink-182 was on the famous KROQ radio station Monday morning May 18, 2009. They had an interview with them as well as some questions from some fans. They discussed things like possible tour names, the Grammys, the past, new songs, and Tom's dog running off. Very interesting stuff, if you like stuff like that. :) You can listen to it here, or watch the videos (3 parts) 1 2 & 3.

Blink-182 First Show at T-Mobile Show

Last night on May 14, 2009 Blink-182 played at a T-Mobile Show along with TRVS/DJ-AM and Weezer. The only thing that Blink fans didn't know was that Blink was a "secret" act at the end of the show. TRVS/DJ-AM and Weezer were already scheduled to play and after they were done playing, Mark, Tom, and Travis came out and played a 3 song set; The Rock Show Feeling This, and Dammit.
To be honest, it was one of the best nights of my life. thanks to everyone who was there. thanks to t-mobile. and most of all, thanks to travis and tom. you are my brothers, and it feels amazing to share the stage with you once again. -Mark

Several photos and a few videos have already been posted all over the internet, as well as pictures from the show taken by Megan Thompson who also took the pictures from Marks octopus photo shoot. The videos from the show can be found here: The Rock Show, Feeling This, and Dammit. Here are some more photos:

You can also find more pictures at Marks Blog, Buzznet, and at MTV.
