Brooklyn Vegan writes about mssv's Haru Tour 2020 around Big Ears Festival (POSTPONED)
JazzTimes Magazine premieres "The Pink Room" from mssv's Live Flowers album out Dec. 1
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 from The Stooges and Watt’s first punk rock opera “Contemplating the Engine Room”, mssv has proved a fearless band.
Their brand new self-titled debut studio album, Main Steam Stop Valve, is out now on BIG EGO Records. Their first album release was 2019's Live Flowers on Striped Light Records, recorded live on tour in Philadelphia, PA and Northampton, MA.
Featuring live electronic processing by both Baggetta and Hodges, as well as Watt’s relentlessly driving bass and vocals, mssv not only shows what it means to be a band in the modern post-genre landscape, but is well on their way to defining it.
