hi all! wanted to share an interview that i did with Watt after his gig opening for Modest Mouse in Portland, OR this past weekend. we discussed his days in the Minutemen, memories of Portland + meeting Greg Sage from the Wipers, jamming econo, what’s kept him in San Pedro, and so much more. very nice man and grateful that he took the time. hope you all enjoy! thanks :)
Yodels, All!
I was fortunate to catch Watt + The Missingmen last weekend in Portland, OR when they opened for Modest Mouse. The show was fantastic!
I'm hoping for help ID a particular song that had lyrics along these lines:
"Don't let time catch up (on you?)"
and
"Fuck eternity!"
It seemed familiar when I heard it, but despite a fair amount of searching for songs with those lines/words, I've yet to turn anything up.
Also, if anyone out there knows the entire setlist for that Portland show, double bonus!
(edited for grammar, ffs.)
five weeks from tonight will be the first gig of mike baggetta's brand new band _casa sueño_ which features john herndon and mike watt, kicking off the "I-5 tour 2026" which will run from september 17 to october 10
