A gig held at Bristol Beacon on Valentines Day. The event starts at 19:00.
Prepare for an electrifying fusion of punk energy and jazz innovation as The Messthetics join forces with acclaimed saxophonist James Brandon Lewis.
Featuring the legendary rhythm section of Fugazi—Joe Lally on bass and Brendan Canty on drums—alongside experimental guitarist Anthony Pirog, The Messthetics have redefined instrumental music with their genre-blurring sound.
Their collaboration with James Brandon Lewis, one of contemporary jazz’s most dynamic voices, adds a thrilling new dimension. Born out of spontaneous on-stage chemistry in 2019, this partnership evolved into a bold studio album recorded over just two days. The result is a masterful interplay of punk vigor, free-jazz improvisation, and avant-garde textures.
Expect a night of sonic exploration, where raw power meets intricate artistry. From the tight grooves and explosive energy of The Messthetics to the soulful, expressive tones of Lewis’s saxophone, this performance promises to transcend musical boundaries.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience these trailblazing artists in the intimate setting of Lantern Hall.
Tickets: £20.35 incl. booking fee
