mssv

from mike baggetta:

   "How lucky and fortunate is this band that right after we tour the US for our 3rd album On And On release Haru Tour 2025 that we get to bring all the new music over to Ireland and the UK for the first time ever for mssv?! I can't wait to get the chance to play this music for a whole new part of the world that we have never played before as a band together!

   "There is something really exciting to me about getting to play music in a land that I don't live in. The unknown ways in which things can translate, or not, about the music to audiences is what I mean. "They" say music is a universal language, but there are also things in the music I make that I know are inspired by my "American-ness" - whatever that means - and I always am curious how that plays out to an international audience. I am also excited to wonder about the new friends and ears we may make over there in this new place for us to play.

   "The other thing I am thankful for in thinking about this IE-UK Tour is that even though it will be a new land for mssv music to be played in, we will still be together to do it (I know, kind of obvious, but still important to me). Its exciting and a little scary to explore a new place alone, but I find it even more meaningful to explore a new place, AND bring the music there, with friends in this band that I look up to and get inspired by every day and have a long time friendship with. I don't feel so alone, in a traveling way, but have some familiarity with my homeland while still venturing forth, even though every show still kind of feels exciting like I don't know exactly what's gonna happen!

   "Anyways, all this to say that mssv is psyched to bring this music to our Ireland and UK friends for the very first time this May and June, 2025. Please come out and say hi - can't wait to meet you all!"
