Dreaming of the Masters

And the rule breaking continues!  The Messthetics weren't around in the 70s, at least not as a band, but this new group are certainly themselves dreaming of the masters when they play, as their sound perfectly captures vintage early 70s jazz fusion of the Mahavishnu/Weather Report era, which is what we were listening to back in the first half of the 1970s.  This year's self-titled Messthetics debut record would have fit seamlessly into our fusion LP collection of the time.

The Messthetics are an instrumental trio consisting of drummer Brendan Canty and bassist Joe Lally, the rhythm section of the punk rock band Fugazi, and guitarist Anthony Pirog.  We weren't sure what to expect from that combination, but we sure weren't expecting this.  

Anyhow, we'll eventually get back to our usual dreaming someday.  But meanwhile, it's nice to know that someone else remembers too.
