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]
