Fugazi Brings Live Shows To All
Formed in 1987 & on indefinite hiatus since 2003 Fugazi was and is a band that influenced a generation. A band born of the punk & hardcore scene of Washington DC they played stop-start song structures reminiscent of reggae and heavy riffs echoing arena & hard rock bands. The band was/is made up of guitarists and vocalists Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto, bassist Joe Lally and drummer Brendan Canty. Fugazi was a stretch from most punk but they managed to keep an element of their punk rock roots in their music as it evolved and grew. Most live shows were $5 and all of them to my knowledge were all ages. They also kept the cost of records, tapes & CD's much lower than the mainstream and even most independent labels. This was a testament to the bands DIY ethic and commitment to their fans. This was a band that had no interest in being the next big thing but wanted to play interesting music. They did just that and are a real underground...
