“…vintage twang in service of Americana-meets exploratory
Jazz-psych…” -Rolling Stone Post-genre power trio mssv was formed
early in 2019 when guitarist Mike BAGGETTA JOINED UP WITH BASSIST MIKE
WATT (MINUTEMEN, fIREHOSE, The Stooges) and drummer Stephen Hodges
(Mavis Staples, Tom Waits, David Lynch) to tour on his Wall of Flowers
album (BIG EGO Records, featuring Watt and drumming legend Jim
Keltner). After a hugely successful US tour performing music that ran
the gamut from original electro-free-jazz improvisations, driving
new-rock anthems and covers of The Stooges and more from Watt’s
first punk rock opera “Contemplating the Engine Room”, mssv has
proved a fearless band.Featuring live electronic processing by both
BAGGETTA AND HODGES, as well as Watt’s relentlessly driving bass and
vocals, mssv has been able to not only show what it means to be a band
in the modern post-genre landscape, but is well on their way to
defining it. mssv released their new album Live Flowers December 1st
on Striped Light Records (Knoxville, TN) featuring music by BAGGETTA,
Watt, David Lynch and The Stooges and features a special guest
appearance from guitarist J Mascis (Dinosaur
Jr.)https://mikebaggetta.bandcamp.com/mikebaggetta.com
