mike watt + the missingmen - 2 Wire Cover songs

Uploaded by hitwitstuff on Apr 1, 2007
Three Girl Rhumba and Ex-Lion Tamer
the missingmen are: Tom Watson on guitar and Raul Morales on drums.
This performance is from The F.O.R. Benefit (Friends Of Richie) took place at Safari Sam's in Hollywood, on Saturday March 31st 2007.
Richie Hass is an amazing multi-instrumentalist musician. Alumnus of Zoogz Rift's band, he is best known these days for playing in Saccharine
Trust and also with Joe Baiza's Universal Congress - probably the top vibraphonist in Southern California.
Richie was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow, and since he is a self employed musician, he has no health insurance.
The LA music community was rocked back on their heels by this news. Everybody loves Richie. So a group of musicians, together with the IMF, put together this benefit in Richie's honor. And while the benefit was held in Richie's honor, he has opted to donate the proceeds to the International Myeloma Foundation for much-needed research to find the cure for this disease.

Fucking brilliant. Not only is Watt a great musician, but he's also one of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet.

@hitwitstuff Additionally, probably one of the most easy to get into punk singers out there.

I went to a club 5 hours early once where Firehose was playing, because I wanted to shake Watt's hand. When I got there, there were about 2030 young kids sitting listening to him give advice; it was amazing that he was so available. Of course I shook his hand. And that night (in St. Louis) sparks flew off his bass.

Not a traditional singing voice, granted. More of a Captain Beefheart growl, but still no reason to get so personal. Watt is one of the most fan-friendly, honest and diverse rock and rollers on the scene. Lone live the HELL-RIDE!
