THE MINUTEMEN Were, Indeed, A Band That Could Be Your Life!
That Makes The Pointless Death Of D. BOON, More Than Your Basic Senseless Death, Echo & Resonate Down The Decades.
What Would BOON Be Doing Had He Lived?
Well, That's Just A Crazy-Making Intellectual Exercise That Leads You Nowhere, So Suck It Up!
MIKE WATT Seriously Considered Hanging Up His Bass Guitar And Calling It A Day On The Whole Music Scene, If It Weren't For The Tenacity Of ED CRAWFORD, Who Uprooted His Life In Ohio To Chase The Dream Of Hooking Up With The MINUTEMEN's Rhythm Section & Creating Beautiful Music Together.
After A little Bit Of Stalking & Harassing, WATT saw The Light, And HURLEY soon Followed, Creating A New Power Trio, fIREHOSE!
Over The Course Of Seven And One-Half Years, fIREHOSE Developed Their Own Distinct Musical Identity Apart From THE MINUTEMEN, While Still Maintaining The Stylistic Dynamic Synthesis Of Punk, Funk, Folk, & Free Jazz. They Toured Non-Stop, And Played To Packed Audiences Across The USA. All Said,fIREHOSE Played 980 Gigs, Released Five Full-Length LP's, And Two E.P.'s Before Finally Disbanding In 1994.
"Most Bands Tour To Promote Records. We Make Records To Promote Tours," WATT Was Quoted With Saying About The Group's Work Ethic.
I Pulled The Track "Blaze" From fIREHOSE's Final Album, 1993's "Mr. Machinery Operator" Released By Big Gun Columbia Records.
Basically, If MIKE WATT Is Involved, BUY IT!!
Purchase Physical Media, Please!
PPMP!!
Be Cool.
Be Kind.
