Legendary Minutemen bassist Mike Watt has some major touring plans in store over the next few months. Watt is set to hit the road with The Missingmen for an extensive North American tour in support of his latest rock opera, hyphenated-man. Released in Japan on October 6th via Parabolica Records, the 30-track opus is due for a universal release on March 1st via Watt’s own clenchedwrench label, coinciding nicely with the tour opener in Santa Barbara, CA on March 10th. The Missingmen are scheduled to hit 51 cities in 52 days — yes, you read that right — so peruse the full list of confirmed dates below, where you’ll more than likely have your chance to see Watt and company live.
Fans interested in hearing a snippet of hyphenated-man can head on over to The Missingmen MySpace page and stream “hollowed-out-man”. Peep the album’s full tracklist below.
