mssv

from mike baggetta:

   "BIG EGO Records is putting out the 3rd mssv studio album On And On March 7, 2025! So to celebrate that music coming forth into the world we are getting back in The Boat and hitting a lot of towns in the US and, after that, some towns in the UK and Ireland for the very first time. I love bringing this music to life for everybody at the shows with hodges and watt every night. I tell people that ask what it's like to play in this band that it's kind of like hot wiring a car you built, putting a brick on the gas pedal and then hopping on top and holding on til the end of the ride. These guys are truly daring and adventurous and live the music on their sleeves every night, I can't help but be inspired to do the same. I've always done my best learning by doing and I have no shortage of opportunities here with them. I'm always thankful for all of them.

   A good thing about a band that gets to play together a lot is that you get to know each other's sounds and maybe even get some idea of what each other is capable of doing, choices we might make, the ways we change and evolve over the years, and ways to challenge each other musically, for the better. Another good thing about some bands, like mssv I think, is that we all get to be involved in a bunch of other music projects too. And that is cool because every different musical experience, well every experience in life too, not just music, feeds into influencing you with what you learned by doing that new proj, so that you can bring it back to the other musical proj (or life choice). All those new ideas, filtered through each person's aesthetic, then give your other bandmates new ideas on how to play and relate to the music and each other with everybody else, and give birth to all kinds of new musical ideas. That's how bands evolve I think… well, the one's that evolve anyways.

   Since the last mssv tour (Aki Tour 2023) I know that the 3 of us, me and hodges and watt, all have had a bunch of different types of musical experiences that are different from the music that I put together for us up until then, and I know that that is gonna influence this next batch of music. We'll play music from the new album On And On of course, but I also am cooking up a new batch of songs that are gonna be a little different from some of the stuff we've done before because of all that. I'm excited to hear it come together every night with all of you. See y'all out there real soon!"
