ohh..... my word yes and 13 songs is my fav!!!

yeah i like em. sister loves them, so does traceymonster. she's actually interviewed him, there's a video on her http://dogshindleg.com/fugazi/fugazi.html

i honestly havnt ever listened to fugazi, but i get the feeling they would sound like a shoutier sonic youth. an i right?

way better though.

nah reverb.. fugazi are tight and full of hooks and an obsession with progression.. not in an experimental direction though...

Gang of Four's 'Solid Gold' record is of a kin with them, if you've heard that... a friend of mine refuses to listen to 'em because he's convinced they were just ripping off GOF.

sounds like a good time. recommend and albums in particular?

13 Songs... (comp of 1st 2 EPS)

Repeater

In On The Kill Taker

GO FORTH

rach-when you say interviewed him do you mean ian mackaye?

who else would i mean? click on the link

i think i prefer minor threat but then i would

i like- steady diet of nothing and 13 songs.

Like 'em, but prefer Minor Threat, Embrace and Rites of Spring.

13 songs seems to be the daddy

rach-you could mean guy picciotto,i like gazi more than thread

End Hits is cool too, patchy though.

'Five Corporations' OWNS.

i guess i could

<threat>fuck me swinging:(

switch-is five corporations a newie? i haven't heard it!?!

nah, track off End Hits.. I really should specify these things.

Fugazi! THE UNCOMPROMISING INTEGRITY!

Also, best live band EVER.

i don't even have end hits:(

I missed them in Oz too (through laziness) but luckily got to catch their last ever show at the Forum in London. It was EPIC and I'm totally glad I got to see them when I did.

what i love most about fugazi is that while each album saw them become more and more 'progressive' -which of course is a euphemism for 'more wanky' a song like this from around 92' sounds like that if sped up could have come off an early minor threat record

Our Band Could Be Your Life tribute concert this Saturday night in NYC.

Buke & Gass covering Fugazi and St Vincent covering Big Black.

Jee male.

''Fugazi to release hundreds of live shows online
The most mosh-worthy punks of the 90s are launching an internet archive of 'almost every show' they have played, sparking hopes of a reunion''

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/jul/20/fugazi-release-hundreds-shows-online

I'm listening to End Hits right now.

I can hear lot of At The Drive In in Caustic Acrostic.

Weirrddd am listening to End Hits and Caustic Arcrostic is on right now too.

Thought i would live a little and play it on shuffle.

i think the argument might be my fave fugazi album

the live series is due to be opened up on 1st december.

can't wait to d/l the show i went to.

looks like only 3 of the shows they played in australia (of the 42) weren't recorded.

yay - got an email back from Ian. I feel like a fan-boy again :)

nice. Liz and I from Jihad Against America got a typed postcard from him back in 2003... we were pretty happy about that

looks like only 3 of the shows they played in australia (of the 42) weren't recorded.

we have perth chunts to blame for that:

*''...There is one show that I wish was in the archive but we don't have: Nov. 11, 1993, at a place in Perth, Australia called Club O.

It was the first show of our 1993 Australian tour, and we did, in fact, scrupulously tape the gig using a brand-new portable DAT machine that we had purchased in the States just prior to leaving. Our sound guy Joey Picuri had hooked it up to the board as per usual and recorded the whole set, only to find at the end of the night that someone had stolen the recorder, with the tape still inside, right off the sound board. It had been a pretty packed room and fairly chaotic, so it wasn't that surprising that someone had managed to grab the thing and abscond with it. Still, we were a pretty vigilant bunch, and in the history of the band we didn't get ripped off that often, so each stolen item still feels fresh and raw in my memory. There was a stage monitor in Ohio, and my white Gibson SG Junior in New York City, which also stand out. But that situation in Perth still feels especially galling: The equipment was replaceable, but the tape was one of a kind. Not that the show was super-epic or notably awful — it's just that it's like someone tearing a page out of your diary and throwing it in the trash. It's just wrong.

Anyway, in case the thief in question happens to come upon this piece somehow, let it be known that we are extending a Fugazi-guaranteed amnesty. If the tape is returned to us at Fugazi c/o Dischord Records, 3819 Beecher Street, Washington, D.C. 20007, USA, we won't report you to the relevant authorities in Perth and there will be no questions asked — that is our promise...*

Live Series is up and running. 130 shows to start.

I bought the 1996 Adelaide Uni show a few weeks back.

It's fucking excellent. Takes me back to being 17.

Anyone else bought and downloaded any of the other Australian shows?

funny that this got bumped just as Fugazi are playing over the stereo in my office.

not yet.

i'm still waiting for the only show i saw them play to become available.

if anyone gets a particularly good one, let us know!

Ian Mackaye is 50 today. Gosh, well I never, etc.

Frightening

he's looked 50 for years
