SASQUATCH DAY THREE: The comedy and mad beat-boxing skills of Reggie Watts

By Ernest A. Jasmin on May 30, 2011

A GOOD ‘FRO AND THEN SOME >>>

Some of you will recognize Reggie Watts as the frontman for defunct Seattle rock n' soul outfit Maktub. And for having the most awesome fro in Northwest history. But these days Watts resides in Brooklyn, and he's tearing it up on the comedy circuit, having toured with Conan O'Brien and been featured on Comedy Central, among other feats.

Not that he's left the music behind. His act Sunday afternoon at the Sasquatch festival was a showcase of cerebral comedy and mad beat-boxing skills. Watts used a sampler to layer beats and hummed baselines on the fly, even showing off by "sound checking" his entire "drum kit" - kick, snare, cymbals, the whole shebang.
