George Clinton conducts the band (and us) effortlessly. While we all like the funk, many comment that the set may have been a tad too long.

Die Young is not an album for every situation, but it comes close. And it’s totally worth the effort.

It might be over 17 years since Blink-182 first graced Australian shores, but frontmen Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus are still one of the fiercest one-two combo’s in pop-punk-rock/whatever they are these days.

“My set on the day is going to be acoustic. I’m not sure yet if I’ll play my rock’n’roll tunes stripped back, or if I’ll be playing my slower, melancholy songs."

Sure, the members all clearly love to get fucked up, but they have toed a line straight enough to get signed to a major label and give themselves a shot at the big time.

Judging from the evidence present on A Year At Sea, Winter People could be huge.

Tipping his hat to towns from Brisbane to Mildura, Jenkins woos the small but appreciative crowd, who have paid nothing to sit by the bar and listen to his songs.

Overall, though, it’s great to have The Bronx back.
