Mike Watt & the Secondmen October 16, 2003

Mike Watt & The Secondmen are headlining this SF date as a side trip from opening up for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. (RHCP play Friday night in Oakland.)

From AMG:
Bassist Mike Watt wais the living embodiment of the punk rock spirit. As a founding member of the highly influential Minutemen, he created one of the most important bodies of work in the American underground canon, delivering adventurous, fiercely polemical music informed by such disparate traditions as funk, folk, and free jazz.
In 1995, Watt issued his first solo LP, Ball-Hog or Tugboat?, an all-star affair featuring guest appearances from members of Sonic Youth, the Beastie Boys, Nirvana, Soul Asylum, and the Screaming Trees. On a subsequent solo tour, Watt's standing within the alt-rock community was solidified by the roster of his backing band, which included Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Nirvana alum Dave Grohl.
