http://music-illuminati.com/inteview-mike-watt/Mike Watt’s musical resume is about as cool as they come. He co-founded the influential San Pedro-based indie-punk band The Minutemen, playing bass and composing many of their songs. After Minutemen guitarist D. Boon tragically died in a car accident, guitarist Ed “fROMOHIO” Crawford joined up with Watt and Minutemen drummer George Hurley to form the somewhat underappreciated late-80’s and early-90’s band fIREHOSE. And since 2003, he has been playing bass with re-formed (but perhaps not reformed) punk rock godfathers The Stooges, fronted by Iggy Pop.
This interview was conducted by phone on 2/9/10. This forms the basis of a preview article for Watt’s concert with The Missingmen on 3/7/10 at the Mercury Lounge in Goleta. (preview coming soon)
