The Messthetics is an instrumental trio formed by former Fugazi members bassist Joe Lally and drummer Brendan Canty with guitarist Anthony Pirog. [1] Their music has been described as "jazz punk jam." [2]
Lally had been living in Rome [3] and upon returning to Washington, D.C., he hooked back up with Canty and played him some of his solo work. [3] Canty suggested Pirog join them [3] as he had previously been impressed by him. [4] When the three started jamming they clicked as a band and Pirog invited the other two to be his rhythm section for a project with John Zorn's Tzadik Records. [4] They didn't end up recording for Tzadik as at their first show Ian MacKaye was impressed enough to offer them a spot on Dischord Records. [4]
The band's first album, eponymously entitled The Messthetics, was released by Dischord in 2018. [5] [6] It was recorded live in Canty’s practice room. [7] Their follow-up album, Anthropocosmic Nest, was released on September 6, 2019. [8] by Dischord Records. [7] The album was featured in Bandcamp's "The Best Punk on Bandcamp" for September 2019. [9]
