Drummer Brendan Canty and bassist Joe Lally have announced their first project since Fugazi went on an indefinite hiatus 15 years ago. Rounded out by experimental/jazz guitarist Anthony Pirog, The Messthetics are an instrumental power trio, performing “a kind of apocalyptic dance party where the beat keeps you moving, but the guitarist relentlessly terrorizes you.”
Check out a perfect example of their chaos theories below, and look out for the band’s self-titled LP on Dischord March 23rd….
