Last night also saw me venture to the famous Astoria club in London, for what might have been one of the last gigs there before it being torn down.
Tom Delonge's acrimonious split from his other Blink-182 band members saw him venture into a new style of music with his new band Angels & Airwaves. Whilst his music might have changed, it was good to see that the infamous juvenile banter from his Blink-182 days have not changed a bit. Self proclaimed maturity was somewhat counter acted by admittedly quite amusing talks about various body parts.
Despite horrible soundmixing in the beginning, the concert was enjoyable, with the highlights for me being Tom, alone with a guitar, playing the old 182 song "Reckless Abandon", and one of their encore songs - the opening song of their first album, Valkyrie Missile.
Good fun was had.
Now to look forward to gigs with Clapton, Mayer, the Foos and Linkin Park/Jay-Z. And that's just barely into June!
