Blink 182: Travis Barker Drum Solo

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

One of the best drum solos of 2009 was Travis Barker with Blink 182. After their break-up, it was doubtful that Blink 182 would ever play music together again. After Travis Barker was in a near fatal plane crash, it was doubtful he would ever play drums again. Miracles do happen! In 2009, Blink 182 re-united and featured an amazing drum solo on the worldwide tour.

Cage The Elephant

Monday, December 21st, 2009

One of the best interviews of 2009 was with Cage The Elephant after their show at the Note in West Chester, PA.

Cage The Elephant aptly describes the live performance of the band (kind-of like a bull in a china shop.) Their roots are in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Throughout most of their songs, you get that swampy blues and rockabilly inspiration. Surprisingly, their fan base isn’t home grown. For the past year, they have been at the forefront of a British invasion. After signing with EMI and releasing an album, they’ve returned to the states for a tour.
