Gainesville treasure and experimental guitarist Mike Baggetta last blew through town with no less a running buddy than Peter DiStefano of 1990s alt-rock hitmakers Porno for Pyros. They rampaged through Judson’s Live with a set of dual-guitar freakouts.
A few months later, Baggetta is back with equally heavy tourmates Mike Watt — Minutemen, jamming econo, flannel shirts — and Stephen Hodges — Tom Waits, Mavis Staples — as MSSV.
The trio’s itinerary is punishing, befitting an infamous road dog like Watt leading the show, but the musical treasures they offer up are manifold: endless waves of angular scree and free-jazz joy.
Add in No Chief, the new drum/visuals solo project of Sebadoh’s Bob D’Amico making his debut, and Lemon Denim and, baby, you’ve got yourself a stew going.
7 p.m. Saturday, March 29, Will’s Pub, $15.
