I've just been asked to join a local punk band in Sydney who have close ties to Mike Watt and the modern Stooges band ... they did a recent gig in Sydney when the Stooges were in town doing Stooges covers with Mike Watt on bass and Mackay on guitar ... funny thing is I know nothing about Mike Watt and the Minutemen but know of them only ... my Punk days were spent listening to other faire.

Sweet thanks ... yeah the guys in the band were advertising a local art cinema called DIEPUNKDEATH who were showing We Jam Econo - saw it on their website.

This is Mike at the gig with Gallucci who I may be joining ...

Yeah I knew a bit of Minutemen stuff from the 80's but I never paid that much attention to them so it's fair enough for me to say I know nothing of them but it's not entirely true either ... just they were not among my playlist ... I love the Village People handle bar mo too ... he's very no-fi on the clothing also ... like truck stop punk. :D

HUGE Minutemen fan here...

 

Just had to say hi.

 

Oh, here's part of a cool D.Boon memorial article that I scanned. I'll put up the rest soon.
