Blink 182 Tour Announcement Party
Alkaline Trio induced dreams due to listening to their new album before going to bed. Alkaline Trio probably aren’t my favourite band any more but they’re one of the most important to me? I’ve seen them countless times with my family. Me, my brother and my mum all have trio tattoos. ~*goth pop family*~ SO I WON’T ACCEPT ANY SASS rhrhrhrhrhrhrh

So I finally convinced my friend who made the quilt for my birthday to open an Etsy store and make more for the people who have been asking! She’s got a baby on the way, and could use the extra cash! All sizes from crib blankets to king size with reasonable pricing! This unlicensed, unofficial labor of love is perfect whether you’re looking to stay in that southern summer wedding day, drinking another winter all alone, or tucking in to where it’s freezing with snakes and tarantulas… ❤💀💸
I carved Alkaline Trio pumpkins this year. Two outta three aint bad. Derek looks pretty great. Dan.. well, the pumpkin he’s on is pretty round, so his long face looks weirdly short, and i fucked up the eye. And then there’s Matt. Holy shit did i knock that one out of the park.
Original work not mine, I just drew all over it… ❤💀
Side-eye Skiba is a brand new meme that spawned on the alkalinetriofans.com facebook group this week based on a picture taken by instagram user “grabbylynn” at the Denver Past Live shows. Our group giggled at what he could possibly be eyeballing or disapproving of. This caused fellow IG user “wtfwmsd” to create the original meme of Side-eye Skiba pictured in the second position. I created the third one, but most hilariously of all IG user “radchk1” created the bottom pictured meme and we’ve all been having too good a laugh to not share with you all.
Matt Skiba’s in Another Band, But It’s a Sekret
It’d be totally understandable if Matt Skiba wanted to take on a side project to give himself a breather from his decades of singing, writing, and playing guitar for Alkaline Trio, but that’s not what he’s doing this time around.If you ask the frontman, Matt Skiba and the Sekrets are here to stay, and their new album certainly doesn’t sound like a side project. Kuts sounds like an album of yesteryear, more similar to a record out of the ‘80s than something out of the iTunes digital download era.
“There are a lot of influences from post-punk stuff on this record. I’m a huge fan of the Cure and David Bowie, so there’s a lot of the British post-punk influence,” Skiba says. “There are a lot of keyboards, it’s more of a dancey vibe."The lighter, dancier style of music behind Skiba’s signature vocals on Kuts is a far cry from what Alkaline Trio fans might expect. For that matter, Skiba says the Sekrets actually worked with a producer who "had never even heard Alkaline Trio before."While Skiba knows that the fan base he’s built with Alkaline Trio might not be super excited for the new Sekrets album, but there’s no reason they shouldn’t still like it."I hope fans of Alkaline Trio enjoy it, but it’s so different that hopefully people who don’t listen to Trio enjoy it,” Skiba says. “The main goal for the Sekrets is to be fun to listen to, and I think we achieved it. I listened to a lot of old records to draw from. I wanted to capture their sounds and that kind of feel.”

Spotlight on Skiba - Kerrang! Interview | April 2015
Between fronting Alkaline Trio and taking over Tom Delonge’s touring duties in Blink-182, Matt Skiba has become rock’s most in-demand man. It may come as a surprise, then, that he’s also releasing his second, sombre album with side-project Matt Skiba And The Sekrets. K! pinned down 2015’s busiest blode to bag the interview that everybody wanted…
- Hi, MATT! HOW HAVE THE SHOWS WITH BLINK BEEN? “They were great, we had such a blast. It’s weird as hell being up there singing someon else’s songs! It was new territory for all three of us, but not necessarily in a bad way! The crowd freaked out and had such a good time, which just made it all so much fun. As of right now we don’t have any plans to play more shows. I’m excited to have a bunch of Alkaline Trio touring to do, and until that’s out of the way I won’t know what’s going on with Blink, but I’m definitely having a great time playing with those guys.”
- HAS THERE BEEN ANY TALK OF RECORDING TOGETHER? WE NEED TO KNOW! “Yeah, we’ve been talking about it quite a bit, and we’ll just have to see what happens, won’t we?”
- IF YOU CARRY ON WITH BLINK, HOW EASY WILL IT BE TO JUGGLE THREE BANDS?! “Wll, there are no plans as of yet to tour The Sekrets - there had been some talk about it, but then Blink came along and that got set aside. Alkaline Trio has a lot of downtime, which makes it easy to branch off and do these other projects, but IF Blink continues to tour with me then that’s two full-time bands, so it will be a case of prioritising and just balancing those two. That’s not to say that means there would never be a Sekrets tour, it just might take some finessing!”
- WITH THE NEW SEKRETS RECORD, KUTS, DID YOU INTENTIONALLY SET OUT TO GET AWAY FROM ALKALINE TRIO’S SOUND? “Yeah, a lot of the last Sekrets record was leftover Alkaline Trio songs. I wanted to do something different this time, but, to begin with, I didn’t know in what way. I hooked up with producer Rob Schnapf (Elliot Smith, The Vines), who had never even heard of Alkaline Trio. I liked that! We collaborated a lot, playing off each other’s ideas, and I drew a lot of inspiration in the keyboards from David Bowie, too. Then when Hunter [Burgan, Bass] and Jarrod [Alexander, Drums] came in and heard what we had come up with, I let them run with whatever ideas they had. This combination resulted in a record we’re very proud of.”
- WERE THERE ANY MOMENTS WHER YOU THOUGH ‘OH GOD IS THIS TOO GREAT A DEPARTURE FOR ME?’ “No, that wasn’t an issue at all. If we liked the way it sounded, we recorded it. At one point Rob said, "Well, I still don’t know what your other band sounds like…but this is pretty fucking good, Matt!” (laughs).“
- AND WHY WAS IT CALLED KUTS? "I wanted something snappy and back in the day when people were making records for vinyl, they often referred to each track as a 'cut.’ In no way, shape or form is it influencing anyone to go cut themselves, but there’s also some pain involved in the lyrics and I wanted that juxtaposed with the way we had been using the word in the studio.”
- WHERE WAS THAT PAIN COMING FROM? “I was having some issues with a friend of mine that influenced the lyrics greatly. I didn’t have a hard time expressing that when we were recording, when things are troubling me they pour out. If everything’s peachy, that’s when I het a brick wall!”
- WITH IT BEING SUCH A DARK, SERIOUS RECORD, WAS THE TONE IN THE STUDIO QUITE SOMBRE? “No, it was a blast, we had so much fun! We were watching a lot of this reality show [Homocide Hunter] and we lached onto a character Kenda. Every time I blew a take, Rob would yell, "Eat a dick, Kenda!” One day we had Chinese food delivered, and I delicately extracted the message from a fortune cookie without breaking it, and replaced it with another that said, “Eat a dick, Kenda!” He didn’t take a breath for about 45 minutes, he was laughing so hard. I get very serious about my practical jokes!“
