Mike Baggetta (mssv) and Peter DiStefano (Porno for Pyros) bring their Punk Jazz Tour to Snug Harbor this week with Charlotte post-rock band Thousand Dollar Movie.
An unconventional collaboration between two accomplished guitarists with different musical backgrounds, Baggetta blends his experimental jazz-infused improvisational approach with DiStefano’s ’90s alternative style that helped define an era with Porno for Pyros. With a free-form “punk jazz” approach to a rock show, they’ll play unreleased and unheard material.
Thousand Dollar Movie is a Charlotte post-rock band and the brainchild of musician Jeremy Ryan Smith. Often accompanied by Leo Solis (guitar, synths) of the indie synth-pop group Solis, Zach Luper (guitar), and Dominic Geralds (drums) of Jude Moses, Thousand Dollar draws influence from instrumental rock bands like Explosions in the Sky.Their debut EP, Give Me A Year, is a sonic ode to the Queen City featuring songs like “Central Ave” and “Elizabeth.” They released a new project, Birdfeeder, Vol. 1, in June through independent label Four Finger Records, which Smith and Solis co-own.
