Mark Hoppus- A Different Spin

Our most congenial client Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 is starting a weekly talk-show on Fuse entitled A Different Spin with Mark Hoppus. The show will feature panel style discussions focused around music and entertainment, celebrity interviews and special music performances exclusive for the show. Check out Mark's practice interview with, um, "Lil Wayne" below.

Video removed because people kept complaining about the auto-start. See it HERE.

A Different Spin debuts on Fuse September 16th at 7pm.

Fall Out Hair

Blink-182 played an incredible show tonight to a sold out crowd at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Special guests Fall Out Boy took the stage first for what was described as their "last show together for a long time." Continuing in the tradition of pranks against Fall Out Boy, Mark Hoppus brought out a set of clippers to give Pete Wentz what Pete described as the "D.O.E.: death of Emo haircuts." Check out the flicks... he didn't go totally bald, but Pete's new 'do is a #4 attachment all the way around.


Thanks for being such good sports and for an awesome tour, F.O.B.

Fall Out Curtain

On Saturday night in the Detroit area the Blink-182 tour rolled through town. Saturday was Fall Out Boy's last night on the tour for this leg, and they don't rejoin until later on in the tour (9/18 in Irvine, CA).
So as a parting gift, Mark Hoppus and the Blink guys had the idea of playing a little prank on the FOB's. Watch below as during the first song of their set, the crew intentionally drops the kabuki curtain in front of the band, then ON the band.

It's a less expensive gag than Mark played on Pete Wentz last year when +44 was on tour with Fall Out Boy... Hoppus threw Pete's bass guitars in the Long Island Sound from the stage at Jones Beach. It was all done in good fun, and the FOB band and crew were great sports.

Travis Barker Drum Solo- Montreal

Blink-182 is out on tour right now, reunited and killing it. To check out the schedule, click here.
In case you haven't seen it, Travis Barker's drum solo at the beginning of the encore is an amazing spectacle. It's best witnessed in person so that you can really see the scope of what he's doing flying in the air and spinning around vertically, but this clip below shows you what's up.

Props to Mr. Cheese for the footage.

Blink-182 "What's My Age Again" on Kimmel

Uh-oh, they let a "bitch" slip! Great to see the guys together again.

Blink-182 Tours!

The boys are goin' on a run! Blink-182 heads out in mid-August for tour dates all over North America with Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, All-American Rejects, Taking Back Sunday, Chester French and Asher Roth on various dates. Check out the video below and see why they announced the tour with a mariachi band. Yes, a mariachi band. Personally, I'd ditch "Bonerville" as a potential tour name, Travis. But that's just me.
