Damn the three inches of rain that poured down onto Hollywood Thursday (2/13), Blink-182 and Alkaline Trio played a benefit show for various LA fire charities, and they were all feeling it.
The two pop punk bands filled the historic Hollywood Palladium on Sunset Blvd. and delighted the crowd with a reunion many predicted when the lineup was announced.
Alkaline’s guitarist, Matt Skiba, who filled in for Tom DeLonge for nearly five years beginning in 2015, hopped on stage with Blink for a tune.
