Label: Org Music
Released 2018
Mike Watt is one of the best bassists around, with a resume that includes the Minutemen, fIREHOSE, and the Stooges, among many others. Raymond Pettibon is an award winning visual artist and one of the most prominent cover artists around. Together they are Sock-Tight, a band from the past for the future. Two friends with different working and communication patterns, united in the belief that culture and art are meant to be a social act and in the hands of all people. Sock-Tight is a psychedelic-inspired no-wave-mania which brings together the lyrical mantra of Raymond Pettibon, the bass of Mike Watt, the saxophon vision of the early Stooges as well as a lot more dark alley thoughts and sounds from America. Their second release, a limited edition beer-colored vinyl 7” made exclusively for Record Store Day 2018, features Alex Hung-Tai Chang of Dirty Beaches on saxophone and Dirk Vandenberg on drums.
