Upon the demise of the Mono Men in 1998, guitarist Dave Crider and drummer Aaron got together with bassist Chris DeGon and former Maven vocalist Jeff Braimes to form Watts that same year. With their raw abrasives of 60's influenced of garage rock, Watts had the chance to share the stage with The Hellacopters, The Gimmicks, The Makers, Electric Frankenstein among others before signing with Estrus Records. The following year, Watts eventually branched out of their native Seattle in 1999 upon the debut of their first self-titled album. ~ Mike DaRonco, Rovi
