dos feat. Mike Watt & Kira Roessler (both on bass) in Hollywood 11/8

Sign in to disble this ad
Dos is Kira from Twisted Roots, Sexsick and Black Flag on bass and vocals and Mike Watt on bass. Just two basses and her voice--sometimes Watt's voice too, but not much. The band first formed in ’85, thus making it Watt’s longest running band. Says Watt, “I really dig playing with Dos. It started as an experiment with (putting) what's commonly believed (to be) a backup instrument up front and paired off with a twin, using ping-pong-like arrangements to create a special space which is pretty much close to the deck but not smothered by competition. What we try to do is develop conversations between our two basses and create a landscape of low-end dynamic. In Dos there is no hiding. That is both the challenge and the reward.”

Cool! You goin' to the show? I'd love to see Dos live.
Listening to their early albums gives a real sense of how essential Watt's playing is to every band he's been in. Plus, it's really cool to hear bass-only versions of songs that wound up on fIREHOSE CDs.
