“Over the past 30 years, Mike Watt has laid down enough bass licks for multiple lifetimes, whether as a member of legendary punkers The Minutemen and its offspring fIREHOSE, alongside onetime-wife Kira Roessler in Dos, filling in with soon-to-be Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The Stooges, or exploring jazz-funk with Banyan. His latest band-project with the missingmen can be found at the Bootleg Theatre this Friday.”

MIKE WATT
“The great achievement of Mr. Watt’s set, performed with half-second pauses between songs, was putting heart and heroism into music that in its original state sounds irritable, fragile or paranoid.” – New York Times
“The Missingmen offered up a tight, tasty set loaded with some amazing covers and classic Minutemen songs that had graying audience members rocking out like they were a bunch of snot-nosed skate kids again. Among the highlights were lively and intense revisions of Wire’s “Three Girl Rhumba,” Roky Erickson’s “Sweet Honey Pie,” Television’s “Little Johnny Jewel” and a particularly emotional rip through The Stooges’ ‘Funhouse.’” – Billboard
