"the intersection of free improvisation and the spirit of punk-infused rock n’ roll" - Glide Magazine

The Messthetics are an instrumental trio from Washington DC featuring the rhythm section of Fugazi, Joe Lally on Bass and Brendan Canty on drums, along with the virtuosic Anthony Pirog on guitar. After forming in 2018, they toured extensively and made two albums for the legendary punk label Dischord Records. In 2023 they teamed up with one of the world’s most renowned tenor saxophonists, James Brandon Lewis, and made a record for historic jazz label Impulse Records, called simply “The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis”. They continue to tour intensely and their commitment to the live ideal results in shows that are both incendiary and spontaneous.
