Mike Watt & The Missingmen, Máscaras
Recommended
It feels like it’s been a very long time since Mike Watt and the Missingmen have hit the road or done much of anything at all—but that’s only because the project is only one of Watt’s prolific endpoints of creativity. The punk icon’s collaboration with guitarist Tom Watson and drummer Raul Morales began in the late ’00s, and hearkened to the taut power-trio punk-funk maelstrom of the Minutemen and fIREHOSE, though they emerged a decidedly different animal altogether, as heard on Watt’s 2010 LP, Hyphenated-Man. Their six-week tour has no off days, so the performances should be pocket-tight affairs that you’ll forever regret missing, man.
