Mike Watt and mssv Return with “Trippy Psychedelic Fever Dream” Album and 68-Date 2025 Tour
Mike Watt has spent lots of time on the road with mssv over the past few years, and 2025 won’t be any different. The band, which also features Mike Baggetta and Stephen Hodges, has announced a new album will be released on March 7th. It will then be followed by 52 shows in the U.S. and another sixteen in the UK and Ireland.
On and On will be the group’s third studio album. Similar to their past efforts, the songs were written just before a massive tour and honed on the road before being recorded immediately after.
“Featured in the works on this album is a band-improvised song and, on the vinyl issue only, six more band-improvised interludes. These improvised, then recomposed, instrumentals had their parts recorded separately by each member, then edited down, recombined and recomposed by Baggetta,” the band shared. “They serve as an important connective tissue between the songs on each side, turning ‘On And On’ into an exciting and trippy psychedelic fever dream of a concept album.”

On and On will be released on March 7th on vinyl and digital editions.
