Manage episode 484548177 series 3549968
I had the jaw dropping - once in a lifetime honour to spend a day with The Messthetics - one of the most innovative bands currently active. Joe, Brendan and Anthony had been touring Europe and I had been in touch with Joe through bass lessons and also through this podcast and I invited them to have a proper layover.
They come to thee main public radio building where they tan through a few tracks as well as sat down for a quick chat.
That sessions and chat was absolutely amazing to say the least. Seldom have i come across a sweeter group of guys.
Later that night they played at the Smekkleysa record store where non other than Icelandic superheroes and original bad boys Mínus opened for them - just as they had done 25 years earlier when Fugazi played the car park of the National Radio building back in 1999 !
I hope you like the talk and encourage you to seek out The Messthetics, Anthony Pirog's solo stuff - as well as what he has done with his wife Janel Leppin - as well as Mínus - they are truly awesome.
All the best, love you guys,
Elvar
