The Widow Babies were an American punk rock band from Los Angeles.[1]

The band's debut album was a concept EP about Minutemen bassist Mike Watt fighting a vampire Abe Lincoln[3] entitled The Mike Watt E.P.[4] and featuring songs such as "Mike Watt Created The Universe With A Bass Solo".[5][6] Mike Watt himself played the entire E.P. on an episode of The Watt from Pedro Show on October 19, 2008.[7]

Their debut LP, entitled Jetpacks, was released on Olfactory records.[3][5] Both albums were produced by Chris Schlarb.[8]

In 2010 the band's MySpace page announced their demise saying "we are very sad to announce that The Widow Babies have broken up."[8] Guitarist Danny Miller and drummer Tabor Allen reformed as Rare Grooves.[8][9]
