On Wed., December 14, roots rocker Monty Warren boarded a plane in Florida with “The Red-Hot Book of Spanish Slang” tucked under his arm, and headed to Mallorca, Spain to reunite with Friggin’ Whatever Phil Wolff, and play gigs with Wolff’s band, We R Comin’. Wolff, whose gravelly growl can be heard belting out “Hey, Junkman” on Monty Warren and The Friggin’ Whatevers’ 2015 album, “Far Out Close Up,” has lined up gigs for them to play from Friday, Dec. 16 through Sunday, Dec. 18.
“Friday, we play at a small typical island bar in the S’Arraco mountains called Can Guiem Nou,” Wolff says. “Our Saturday gig is at Mallorca’s Number One Irish Pub, The Shamrock, and on Sunday–Keith Richards’ birthday–we rock the Los Ultimos Mohicanos, a beautiful biker place with the smell of barbecue and gasoline.”
“Far Out Close Up” was named to the 2015 Best Music List of the Palm Beach Press, and launched on Keith Richards’ birthday. “Keef has definitely influenced my music,” Warren says. “And Sunday we’ll be playing on his birthday. Every now and then, things work out.”
“Indy Week” stated that Monty Warren and The Friggin’ Whatevers “Retroactively bridge the gap between ’70s pub rock/power pop and the arrivals of Tom Petty, Graham Parker and Elvis Costello.”
The German-born Wolff has been making music (writing, vocals and instrumentals) and albums for decades–now making his home in Mallorca: “It is very multi-cultural here with people from all over the world. Monty will love it, and it’s a good start for him to get his music spread over Europe.”
“This is my first time in Spain and it’s pure heaven,” says Warren. “My plan is to wake up every morning, pinch myself, play music, check out the sights, play music…Repeat.”
For 11 days, the duo will collaborate on new tunes and record, with sightseeing in between.
“It was such a pleasure recording ‘Junkman’ with Monty because we both have that love for rock and roll,” Wolff says. “I’m looking forward to creating some new stuff together.”
“Phil Wolff is a wild man,” says Warren. “I can’t wait to meet his band. Since I don’t speak Spanish, I hope that ‘A,’ ‘D,’ and ‘E’ translate the same.”
