The Messthetics

On Tuesday, March 26, 2019, the St. Augustine Amphitheatre’s Front Porch Series will proudly present experimental rock trio, The Messthetics, featuring Brendan Canty and Joe Lally ofFugazi and celebrated avant-garde guitarist Anthony Pirog, live on the Front Porch during the St. Augustine Amphitheatre Night Market. This show is free and open to the public.

The last time drummer Brendan Canty and bassist Joe Lallywere in a band together, they were the rhythmic architects for Fugazi, an organization whose decade and a half of disciplined progressivism provided a necessary bridge between the zenith of late-punk expression and everything alternative in rock that followed. In 2016, the two were enlisted by guitarist Anthony Pirog in a conspiracy to subvert and reimagine the power trio, bringing fully into the 21st Century a form that may have reached near perfection with Hendrix’s Band of Gypsys on the very first day of the 1970s.
