read the tour diaries!
folks,
this was an intense year for watt so far. you can read about it on my hoot page here but let me gave you a short summary: in january, I was bed-stricken w/an raging illness that almost cut the whole gig short - an infection roared through my perineum and almost killed me. emergency surgery and then months healing from it saved my life. this tour is to celebrate my still having the chance to man the van w/a bass in my hand. also, to be free of that piss bag that was hooked up to me and able pedal my bike each day. very grateful to let you have the opportunity to see me wrestle that thud staff, hope to see you if you can make it to one of these gigs. finally, much respect to tom watson and vince meghrouni for joining me as the pair of pliers, their spirit has been essential.
also, j asked me to help him w/some bass for his first power trio tour in a few years. it's a tour for his new j mascis and the fog album (where he played everything) coming out soon. trouble is, his tour starts right near the end of mine but not near enough so I'm gonna have to trim off some gigs w/ the pliers and make them up in the spring. much respect to tom and vince for the support here. you folks too. me and the pliers will be back for another tour in march/april, 2001 where we re-do the gigs that got scissored here plus the rest of the country and our candanian neighbors too.
yours in bass, watt
