Mike Watt w/ Northampton Wools 4/5/11 Daniel St.

Arrived for the last tune or tune from Thurston Moore's drone duo Northampton Wools. I'm always amazed at the segue from punk-spew to drone happens. Thurston is an icon and the hipster crowd would have gladly paid to watch him sudoku. Mike Watt takes the stage with standard punk outfit: guitar, bass, and drums. As leader and bassist for the Minuteman, Watt is like the Thomas Jefferson of punk. The band charged through Watt's new release The Hyphenated Man, a concept album about Heironymous Bosch paintings he viewed while in Spain touring with the Stooges. Watt can certainly play and spiel, the sound was Beefheart meets Black Flag, or show tunes for the criminally insane.
