Mike Watt the missingmen 2nd heaping' helpin' US tour
9:00 PM (America/Denver)
Zoo City Apparel
Description:
Mike Watt's a name up there with folks like D. Boon, Keith Morris, and Kira Roessler, Robo and... uh, you know, people one gets a ticket to see regardless when they're coming to town. Watt was an original member of the Minutemen, legendary 80s funk-punk group whose "econo"/DIY/friends-before-careerism approach to music and shows helped re-define and invigorate underground music for generations. He: used to dress like Fidel Castro at shows, and wrote music on a crop of records that sits high atop the Western punk canon with other stuff like Black Flag, the Meat Puppets, Dead Kennedys, Germs and Red Kross. And the stuff continues to stand the test of time, with songs like the Minutemen's Corona offering the soundtrack to Johnny Knoxville's Jackass show, and everybody and their brother having a well-worn copy of Double Nickels on the Dime.

A few years ago, well, maybe 7 or 8, We Jam Econo, the Story Of the Minutemen was released. It's on Youtube for free here: http://youtu.be/HmKGusadv08

Watt's touring these days with the Missing Men, who're San Pedro punks and who rage full on. We expect greatness.
