The Meat Puppets, mike watt + the jom & terry show have announced that they will be teaming up for 'The Tour Tour Two' of the U.S. this spring. We were sent the following details:"Right now the band is so powerful, it's just a blast," says Cris Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets. "Recently, we all played some sick f***ing nights of music. Plus, I have a beard now."
In what can be considered a nod to the 1985 SST showcase tour - Meat Puppets, Minutemen and H�sker D� - the Tour Tour Two reunites the Meat Puppets with mike watt + the jom & terry Show, with special guests Grant Hart of H�sker D� and Porcupine, featuring Greg Norton (H�sker D�) on select dates.
For this tour, the Puppets - Curt and Cris Kirkwood with drummer Shandon Sahm (son of Doug Sahm) and Curt's son, Elmo Kirkwood on guitar - have been adding music from their "middle period": Huevos, Monsters and Too High to Die, along with "new" old stuff.
"I'm the crazy guy with the yellow coat on who rides his bike in the morning. Who leaves San Pedro and comes back," says Mike Watt, who reformed his 2001 trio, the jom & terry show, with Slovenly/Red Krayola's Tom Watson on guitar and Jerry Trebotic on drums.
