Matt Skiba is a busy guy, right? He has been active this year doing shows with his longtime awesome Chicago punk band Alkaline Trio and as new member of Blink 182, who both toured this year. On top of that, Skiba worked on Blink’s new smash album ‘California’. So Skiba jumps from a west coast frame of mind, to a purely midwest one with today’s announcement that Trio will have a three-night residency at the acclaimed Metro in Wrigleyville in January. This will be Alkaline Trio’s first shows since March.
