Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Minutemen were a punk rock band from San Pedro, California.One of the well known bands from the US underground rock scene of the 1980s. A Rock Trio consisting of guitarist D. Boon, bassist Mike Watt and drummer George Hurley, they started out creating very short, simple punk songs, usually with a political theme. Unusually they incorporated jazz influences as well various other styles that reflected their DIY ethic.They were active from 1980 to 1985, when their frontman D. Boon died in a van crash in Arizona. In 1986, Watt and Hurley formed a new band, fIREHOSE, with new lead singer and guitarist Ed Crawford. That band played together until 1994, after which Watt embarked on a solo career.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Studio releases Paranoid Time EP (1980) Joy EP (1981) The Punch Line (1981) Bean Spill EP (1982) What Makes a Man Start Fires?

Acrofatic: D. Boon was known for constantly jumping around and energetically dancing onstage, despite his weight.

Beige Prose: "Take 5, D", due to its lyrics being taken verbatim from a brief note a friend received from his landlady about a leaky shower. This was Mike Watt's playful response to D. Boon complaining that the original lyrics were "too spacey".

The Band Minus the Face: Watt and Hurley occasionally perform Minutemen songs together in duo concerts. The two have refused to replace D. Boon with another guitarist for these performances, and instead have rearranged the songs for bass and drums only.
