For the first time in four years, punk trio Blink-182 performed live last night. Bassist Mark Hoppus explained in his Hi My Name is Mark blog that the gig took place at a private party to unveil the new T-Mobile Sidekick at Hollywood’s Paramount Pictures. Drummer Travis Barker was already on the bill with DJ AM, as were Blink’s summer openers Weezer, so Blink were asked to serve as the evening’s surprise ending. According to AltPress (who have shaky fan footage from the show), the trio played three songs, opening their set with Take Off Your Pants And Jacket’s “The Rock Show. “This is our very first show after hating each other’s guts for many years,” Hoppus joked from the stage.
