CALENDAR Punk rock cool dad Mike Watt is best known for his work as bassist and vocalist with insanely influential bands like The Minutemen and fIREHOSE. Since then Watt has remained remarkably prolific, getting down with his gruff and utterly unique self in a variety of projects and on all sorts of stages, most recently with his band The Missingmen. Watt’s latest album, rumored to be released any minute now, is tentatively called Big Nuts Yonder — why? Because he’s Mike Watt, and he does what he wants. For now, Watt comes to Eugene with his merry band of Missingmen, bringing underrated punk band Toys That Kill along for the ride. Mike Watt + the Missingmen play with Toys That Kill 9 pm Thursday, March 2, at Hi Fi Music Hall Lounge; $10 advance, $12 day of show, 21-plus. — Will Kennedy Whiteaker Community Center, N.
