2025 8:00PM doors -- music at 8:30PM ••• 21 AND OVER $20 in advance / $23 at the door "haru tour 2025" mssv mike baggetta + stephen hodges + mike watt mainsteamstopvalve.com indie rock psych punk surf Cut-Rate Druggist facebook.com/cutratedruggist garage-rock grunge punk-rock Mayya instagram.com/extremayya indie rock, avant pop, proto punk mssv -from Gainesville, FL -mssv, composed of guitarist Mike Baggetta, Stephen Hodges on drums and mike watt on bass, creates music that is a heretofore unimagined hybrid of a punk power-trio and a dreamy experimental rock band, though they prefer the term “post-genre.” Their last full-length album, Human Reaction, finds the oddly memorable hooks of their noir-tinged adventure music with a lot more vocals from Main Steam Stop Valve leader Baggetta, adding more personality than ever before, alongside his bandmates, Hodges and watt, who also share in the vocal duties throughout the album. With inventively churning drum textures from Hodges (an instantly identifiable sound honed in his days with Tom Waits and David Lynch) and the full-steam-ahead all-in attitude from watt, (as he’s displayed throughout his storied career with MINUTEMEN, fIREHOSE, and The Stooges), there is the impression of “pressure, combustion, power, and hissing clouds of sonic poetry,” as Premier Guitar said. Also evident is the more fearless exploring that comes from a band that has spent a lot of time together crafting their vision, as well as making room for guests like J Mascis, Petra Haden and Nels Cline on some of their previous releases. Even though Baggetta, who has also worked with David Torn, Jim Keltner, Psychic Temple, Jeff Coffin, Henry Kaiser, Rev. Fred Lane, and Viktor Krauss among many others, wrote all the songs specifically for these bandmates to play, there’s no telling which way the band will turn at any given moment, a proposition that becomes a promise when they break down and reassemble these songs live, with an instinct for restraint and an openness to anarchy. mssv is back on the road this spring 2025! We'll be playing music from our 3rd full-length studio album coming out in March on BIG EGO Records, as well as a bunch of new songs for you all too. See y'all out there real soon! We have a brand new song out called “Even So” and it’s half (1/2!) of a brand new 7” vinyl release, split with our friends Thousand Dollar Movie, out now on Four Finger Records! "Block Out The Sun" by Thousand Dollar Movie is the song on the other side of this release! Cut-Rate Druggist -from Oakland, CA -Cut-Rate Druggist, born from cosmic alignment, is an Oakland-based dynamic duo. With 15 years of camaraderie and a journey through bands like Fabulous Disaster and Stoli and the Beers, Squeaky and hal9000 Beers created a rock and roll powerhouse. Crafting a unique sonic experience, Cut-Rate Druggist blends dual vocals, heavy drums, and bass guitar into a thunderous wall of sound. The explosive 2019 EP under Heart On Records marked their arrival, setting the stage for supporting acts like Team Dresch, Betty Blowtorch and Margaritas Podridas. In 2022, the band unleashed "Run Rabbit Run" and a soul-stirring take on the Ramones' "Pet Sematary," leaving an indelible mark on Berkeley's KALX Live! radio and Bridge City Fest 3. Undeterred by the pandemic, 2023 became a year of audacious creativity and global expansion. Cut-Rate Druggist toured Japan, capturing raw energy for a forthcoming live album. The U.S. West Coast succumbed to their musical conquest, highlighted by a stellar M.I.G. Fest performance. In August 2023, "Have You Seen Her?" released through Australia's Fantastic Mess Records, earning radio play across the U.S., U.K., and Australia. Their unyielding momentum continued with a split 7” featuring their take on Wipers' "Tragedy" and a fall tour across Australia supporting Glycereens. Currently in the studio, Cut-Rate Druggist is gearing up to release the much anticipated debut full-length in summer of 2024. Mayya -from San Francisco, CA -Mayya is inspired by anyone who is unapologetically themselves and aspires to create a positive environment through her melodic, energetic music. She has shared bills with Deerhoof, Mike Watt, Luna, Kid Congo Powers, John Doe, Tim Presley, Death Valley Girls, The Avengers, Downtown Boys, Jeffrey Lewis, and more. |
