Travis Barker reveals he’s recorded two albums in the past two months
blink-182 drummer Travis Barker has been very busy in the studio since the band got back from tour…
blink-182 hit Perth last night (February 8) for their first Aussie show in a looooong while, and they gave some ONE MORE TIME… bangers their live debuts.
Last night (February 8), blink-182 launched their first Australian tour in over a decade.
The pop-punk legends made their return down under by kicking things off at Perth’s RAC Arena, having last played in the country for travelling fest Soundwave back in 2013 (however that live line-up consisted of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and drummer Brooks Wackerman, as Travis Barker hadn’t yet overcome his fear of flying and therefore had to miss that tour).
And the trio gave their waiting Aussie fans plenty of treats – from classic singles like The Rock Show, Feeling This and I Miss You through to a couple of live debuts from last year’s brilliant ONE MORE TIME… album: blink played FUCK FACE and TURPENTINE for the first time ever, and ANTHEM PART 3 for the first time in full.
They’ve another Perth show tonight, before gigs in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and then blink will cross over to New Zealand to perform in Auckland and Christchurch.
