mssv
guitarist Mike Baggetta, drummer Stephen Hodges, and bassist Mike Watt—crafts a "post-genre" sound that fuses punk power-trio energy with dreamy experimental rock. Their latest album, Human Reaction, expands on their noir-tinged adventure music with more vocals from Baggetta, alongside Hodges and Watt. Hodges’ inventively churning drum textures, shaped by his time with Tom Waits and David Lynch, blend seamlessly with Watt’s full-steam-ahead intensity, honed through MINUTEMEN, fIREHOSE, and The Stooges. As Premier Guitar put it, their music evokes “pressure, combustion, power, and hissing clouds of sonic poetry.” Known for fearless exploration, the trio embraces spontaneity live, deconstructing and reassembling songs with instinctive restraint and moments of anarchy. Baggetta, who has collaborated with David Torn, Jim Keltner, Henry Kaiser, and others, writes specifically for these bandmates, yet each performance remains unpredictable—a promise rather than a proposition. Their past releases have also featured guests like J Mascis, Petra Haden, and Nels Cline, further expanding their adventurous sonic landscape.
THC TRIO
Austin-based THC Trio explores free jazz and improvisation with Joshua Thomson on reeds, Jonathan Horne on guitar and objects, and Lisa Cameron on drums and percussion. Thomson, also the leader of modern jazz and world music group Atlas Maior, contributes to projects like Break/Fix, Cilantro Boombox, and Viva Palestina Orchestra. Horne plays with The Young Mothers, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten’s (Exit) Knarr, Heavy Meddo, and Water Damage, among others, and has collaborated with Glenn Branca, Joe McPhee, and Burton Greene. Cameron, a veteran of Austin’s experimental scene, has performed with Jandek, Faust, Mike Watt, Thor Harris, and many more, while also playing in the long-standing space rock band ST37. Together, THC Trio channels a dynamic and boundary-pushing energy, blending their diverse backgrounds into spontaneous sonic exploration.
TRIO GLOSSIA + GREGG PRICKETT
consisting of Matthew Frerck on stand up bass, Joshua Miller on drums, percussion, and tenor saxophone, and Stefan Gonzalez on vibraphone and drums. Originally starting as an improvisational unit in 2022, they have since started incorporating their own original compositions with improvisational explorations. All three musicians share a mutual love of all things pertaining to the history and development of free jazz and the avant garde. Trio Glossia covers a lot of ground from heart wrenching ballads to angular swing to textural meditations, with a healthy emphasis on the harmolodic history of the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. Their debut album just got released by the Norway based label, Sonic Transmissions.
Gregg Prickett, a creative Dallas-born guitarist, has played across jazz, rock, and country scenes in North Texas. He led the Monks of Saturnalia, blending post-bop, free jazz, and Mingus-like harmonies, and was in Unconscious Collective, a jazz-rock fusion with psychedelia and performance art. Gregg was part in the final lineup of Ronald Shannon Jackson’s The Decoding Society.
