BLINK 182


Blink 182 is a pop punk band from Poway, California. The band was formed in 1992 and was first called Blink. Tom DeLonge (vocals/guitar), Mark Hoppus (bass/vocals) and Scott Raynor (drums) were the original members. In 1994 an Irish pop band threatened a law suit because their name was also blink, therefore "182" was added to the California pop punk band's name. In 1998 Raynor was fired from the band for being an extreme alcoholic and Travis Barker replaced him. In 2004 the band had great tension and decided to break up. At the 51st Grammy Awards in 2009, the band stated that the band was back together and were going on tour. They also stated their plans for new recording. About 1 week ago I was lucky enough to get to see Blink 182 at Blossom Music center and it was an amazing show that I thought I would never have a chance to see.
