Tony Hawk's Pro Skaterhelped shape a whole generation of skate culture, and as such, has always boasted one of the best game soundtracks of all time.
From nu metal to punk rock, the beloved game series has long accompanied your mad skills with a wave of '90s era tunes from Goldfinger's "Superman" to Agent Orange's "Bloodstains" — and the whole series' soundtracks would become as iconic as the games themselves, like beloved mixtapes for fans.
So, naturally there's multiple cover bands who only play songs from the Tony Hawk's Pro Skaterseries. There's one in Australia called Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of a Tony Hawk Pro Skater Cover Band. And there's one in the UK called The 900 (sharing a name with Hawk's famous landing of the first-ever 900 at the 1999 X Games in San Francisco), who will be adding quite the feather to their cap after one hell of a cameo at a set on Saturday.
Tony Hawk himself showed up to The 900's gig at Signature Brew Haggerston to sing with the band. They played a couple of songs, including Agent Orange's "Bloodstains," which featured in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. The skating legend shared a video of himself fronting the band, and Hawk, like the crowd, looks like he's having the time of his life.

The 900 also posted a teaser video of the appearance, with a full video promised soon.
