Mark! At The Disco
26/06/2007Mark posted a new blog entry about how he ended up on stage with Panic! At The Disco playing What's My Age Again live and acoustic :
"today i woke up on the bus in las vegas to a call letting me know that something pretty serious happened late last night after the show in los angeles. in the middle of the night one our members had a very serious family emergency. thank God everyone is okay, but subsequently +44 was not able to play the show today. everyone was bummed we missed the date, but the immediate health of our families supercedes a show anytime. we are working on rescheduling +44 to come back and play a show on our own, and will let you know when we will return.
to fill the empty slot in the show, ryan and brendon from panique a la discotech were called to come out and play a few songs acoustically. we were all hanging out backstage talking beforehand, and i mentioned that i heard panic at the disco had started off as a blink-182 cover band back in the day. somehow we hit on the idea of getting together and playing a blink song. we rehearsed what's my age again a couple of times in a dressing room and then played it during the show. the guys were really cool and it was super fun playing the song. it's a little strange to meet a couple of guys and within two hours be playing in front of a couple thousand people with them. but hey, that's what we do: bring the awesome every single day, in every single way."
