The Rock and Roll Playhouse: Plays Music of blink-182

At Starland Ballroom, “Music of blink-182” places Blink-182’s pop-punk catalog in a live setting, with The Rock and Roll Playhouse among the featured performers. The set draws on the band’s mix of punchy hooks and clipped, comic candor, a strain of rock/pop that has long circulated through the New York metro area’s clubs and suburban rooms. Blink-182’s early New York appearances helped fold West Coast skate-punk into the city’s late-’90s alternative circuit. One critical note: the songs’ simplicity is often the point, built for communal timing more than virtuoso display.
