Mike Watt Talks Minutemen, The Stooges, DIY & Punk

Mike Watt needs little introduction. A founding member of the Minutemen, bassist with fIREHOSE, collaborator with The Stooges, and one of the most respected musicians to emerge from the American punk underground, his influence reaches far beyond the bands he’s played in. Rather than a traditional interview, Tara Rez and Segs Jennings sat down with Mike for an open conversation about music, touring, creativity, friendship, DIY culture, The Stooges, the Minutemen, and the experiences that have shaped a remarkable life in music.

Warm, thoughtful, and full of humour, it’s a conversation with an artist who has never stopped moving forward.

We hope you enjoy our conversation with Mike Watt for Punk Globe Magazine.
