Mike Watt & the Black Gang ; 9:30 Club, Washington, DC 05-07-1998




Spring has sprung and I have been busy enjoying the weather and neglectful of the site,so here's a treat that I have never circulated digitally before:
the thumping of Mike Watt & the Black Gang.This is an opening set for Sonic Youth, pretty much the "Contemplating the Engine Room" disc in it's entirety , minus "no one says old man". Nels Cline plays on the disc, but Joe Baiza from Saccharine Trust handles the guitar this tour and rises to the occasion.
