Re-Starting the Blink Machine

It has been a quiet few months in the blink camp with the record being released, tours finishing and other projects being worked on, but yesterday saw the beginning of the blink-182 machine starting up again ahead of summer tours which include a 20th Anniversary tour accross the US, Bamboozle, two trips to UK, two nights at the O2 in London and dates all over Europe. So with all that ahead rehearsals have begun again with Doug (@dougreesh) and Rob (@robertnoise) providing top quality photographs of the rehearsal space. We have discussion threads for every date of the tour in the forums, so if you are going to a date join in

Happy Birthday Mark!

the return of blink-182 to the stage!!! t-mobile threw a big party at the paramount lot here in los angeles to launch their new sidekick, and they asked us to play. the whole thing was a secret. travis and dj-am were already scheduled to perform, and as a surprise ending, blink-182 came out at the very end and played a few songs. during the night, weezer performed and played the hits, along with a few covers. TRVS/DJ-AM dominated (as they always do), and then we played. 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.

here are some photos from throughout the day and night.
