TAV FALCO’S PANTHER BURNS featuring MIKE WATT
WHISTLE BLOWER USA TOUR 2015
Tav Falco – PANTHER BURNS featuring Mike Watt & Toby Dammit
Equal parts primal, early rock’n’roll, deviant hill country blues & avant-garde art, Tav Falco – PANTHER BURNS are ramshackle, raw, and unholy – not just Music…but a state of mind. Tav Falco is one of the truly original and romantic forces in American music – the voice that America lost and found. He is tender and virile, flamboyant, witty and dangerous. Falco brings daggers back to the stage.
Known as the ditch-diggers in American music, our cabal is privileged to welcome MIKE WATT onstage on the WHISTLE BLOWER TOUR. Having come under the spell of our new COMMAND PERFORMANCE album (Frenzi/Darla USA), Hi-Watt began to Tweet his impressions. Quickly we were discussing his participation on the US Tour, and beginning to forge a work in progress already hurled into the future.
First to jump aboard is TOBY DAMMIT whipping the skins – rhythm section partner of Mike Watt. Fresh off the boat from Rome, MARIO MONTEROSSO – producer of our new album, Command Performance – joins us on lead guitar, while maestro FRANCESCO D’AGNOLO tickles the ivories.
The last steam engine train left on the track that don’t do nothin’ but run and blow. PANTHER BURNS are the ones who always hold out a hand to the enemy.
