‘Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater’ cowl band The 900 discuss enjoying with Tony Hawk
Throughout a gig at London’s Signature Brew Haggerston on Saturday (June 30), Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater cowl band The 900 had been joined on stage by skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, who supplied vocals for 2 songs that featured within the sport.
On stage, Hawk sang Goldfinger’s ‘Superman’ and ‘Bloodstains’ by Agent Orange, which appeared within the first and fourth Professional Skater video games respectively.
Talking to NME, The 900 defined that Hawk performed with the band after recognizing them on Instagram. Hawk messaged the band saying “he was going to attempt to make it right down to a present while he was in England,” to which The 900 “took the chance to ask if he could be up for doing a few songs with us – fortunately for us and the viewers, he mentioned sure.”
Hawk was welcomed on-stage by the viewers chanting his title, with The 900 describing an “superb” response to the skateboarding star’s look. With Hawk on vocals, The 900 proceeded to play Goldfinger’s ‘Superman’ and ‘Bloodstains’ by Agent Orange, which appeared within the first and fourth Professional Skater video games respectively.
“He completely nailed ‘Superman’ and ‘Bloodstains’! It was simply probably the greatest moments in our lives,” shared the band. You’ll be able to watch The 900 and Hawk play ‘Bloodstains’ – and a snippet of’ ‘Superman’ – under:
My / our rendition of Agent Orange’s Bloodstains from final evening’s present at @SignatureBrewE8. This was one of many first punk songs I heard as a child and it was a catalyst for shaping the soundtracks to THPS video games. Because of @The900Banduk for summoning me to the stage! ➡️⬇️⭕️ pic.twitter.com/wR49DWUx0z

On enjoying ‘Bloodstains’, Hawk advised the gang that it was one in all his “gateways” into punk rock. After the gig, Hawk mentioned that ‘Bloodstains’ “was one of many first punk songs I heard as a child and it was a catalyst for shaping the soundtracks to [Pro Skater] video games.”
“We had been so grateful he agreed to do that,” shared The 900, including that “it was a gorgeous second for everybody within the room” – together with Hawk, who “appeared equally as gassed to be up on stage belting out the songs.”
For The 900, which fashioned as a “generic cowl band” earlier than pivoting into Professional Skater covers to have extra enjoyable with their performances, the evening was simply nearly as good. “Not solely did we get to satisfy and play onstage with one in all our idols, however we knew it will be the very best shock for the gang,” mentioned The 900, including that it was “an evening that each one of us will always remember.”
In different gaming information, Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 1 and a couple of will probably be obtainable on PlayStation Plus from tomorrow (August 2).
