There is - and will
only ever be - one WATT - Mike Watt. And believe us when we say it's the loudest
WATT you'll ever hear.
The
Godfather of Indie Rock, Mike Watt's rose to national attention in the early 80s
with the Minutemen, one of the most important bands in Indie history.
These
days WATT splits his time between touring with Iggy Pop and the Stooges ("It's
great to be the youngest member of the band for once!" he says.), The Second
Men, Mike's own band, and Dos, a two bass duo featuring WATT and former Black
Flag bassist, Kira Roessler.
Mike
has been an avid endorser of David's designs for almost two decades. Now, he's
a member of our SEAL Team (Special Evaluation And Liaison Team), and will also
serve as our Brute Force tester. Once Mike has put a product through its paces
to ensure it will stand up to even the most rigorous use, that product will receive
the "Certified Watt Approved" seal of approval. Based on past experience,
we can say that if a product can withstand WATT, it will hold up to pretty much
anything you can throw at it (except, perhaps, a refrigerator).
Mike Watt: Liberty Calls
WATT's
reason for being one of our first endorsers is simple. "I've always loved
David's designs, and have been punishing them for years. Why stop now, when I'm
having so much fun?"
