Eight Gigs: Mike Watt and the Secondmen

Mike Watt has been busy the past decade. Certainly, most people know him for Minutemen and Firehose. But since then, he’s recorded several solo records. The Secondmen was formed to play his third solo album, 2004’s The Secondman’s Middle Stand, a strange concept album that ties his own brush with death in 2000 to Dante’s The Divine Comedy. He originally enlisted organist Pete Mazich and drummer Jerry Trebotic, and he’s got them back for this string of shows. 1901 10th Street, www.hootpage.com.
