Members TIKILOCKEDOUT Posted July 4, 2006 Members Share Posted July 4, 2006 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.

Members TIKILOCKEDOUT Posted July 4, 2006 Members Share Posted July 4, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
