And experimental
I really like aggressive noisy bare bones guitar like drive like jehu, at the drive in, and fugazi. Anytime I’ve had a teacher they didn’t really like the same stuff so I was wondering if anyone had recommendations. It’s just tricky learning a lot of this stuff by ear and tabs don’t help much cuz a lot of ‘em suck
I'm putting this on in December and thought you'd all like to know about it. Ian will be doing a Q&A before the screening (link for tickets) https://thefridacinema.org/movies/10-years-with-the-band-fugazi-pre-screening-virtual-qa-w-ian-mackaye-of-fugazi/

They're still my favorite band but I worry about wearing them out through overplay. Any suggestions for bands to listen to? Not that these are similar, but I've added Fucked Up, Sleater-Kinney, Ted Leo, Bright Eyes, Slint, and others but hope y'all might have some suggestions...
I can’t find anything! Thanks
This has been on my mind for awhile and I'd like to share. I know it's not their best song, but I like Polish. I like the lyrics especially. That's all. Thanks.
I miss their anger and voice in sound and performance. I was too young to fully receive all they were uncovering for me. But could really use their fiery advocacy now.
“We didn’t want this sort of acclaim when we formed this band,” said frontman Ian MacKaye. “Fugazi was never about selling out. And that includes tickets to our shows. We love our fans, but I didn’t get into this business to make money. It’s not our brand, and I hate the fact I just used the word ‘brand’ unironically. So when our manager told us that we were practically selling out every show, I pulled the plug. No fucking way am I going to make a profit from my art. That’s why our music is available on Spotify. We make almost nothing from those streams.”
i really want to see a cover of repeater any drummers played this and could post or dm me a video i really want to see one but can’t find it online 😁😁
I wanna get a print made to have on a poster. Or if anyone has a link to a poster, that would be sick too.
I grew up on Neil Peart and I still find her percussive skills phenomenal. Matched with a voice that can raise the heavens. Ian is lucky AF to land this gem.

Hi - for all of the older (specifically in the 40-50+ age range) Fugazi fans, I want to ask a couple of questions:
What was it like to see Fugazi live? Any cool stories from those shows, and how often did you guys get to see Fugazi?
Also - how did you guys get into Fugazi? Which aspects of their music do you guys like the most?
And did you guys get into Unwound, Drive Like Jehu & the Jesus Lizard?
