The Messthetics are an instrumental trio featuring Brendan
Canty (drums), Joe Lally (bass), and Anthony Pirog (guitar). In January, the
band will perform a week's worth of dates with Clutch.
Brendan Canty and Joe Lally were the rhythm section of the
band Fugazi from its inception in 1987 to its period of hiatus in 2002. This is
the first band they’ve had together since then. Anthony Pirog is a jazz and
experimental guitarist based in Washington,
D.C. One half of the duo Janel
& Anthony, he has emerged as a primary figure in the city’s out-music
community.
Released in March, the trio’s debut includes nine songs
recorded at Canty’s practice space throughout 2017. It’s a snapshot of a band
dedicated to the live ideal, where structure begets improvisation.
