A band that is clearly very fan friendly
Fugazi is a band from Washington, D.C. performing March 27, 2002 at Tipitina's
Uptown, 501 Napoleon in a special ALL-AGES show at 7 PM for only $6. They
played their first show in the fall of 1987 and since then they have released
7 albums and toured the world extensively covering all 50 United States,
Europe, Australia, South America, Japan and many points in between. The
band is self-managed and releases all their material through Dischord Records,
an independent label founded by Ian MacKaye and partner Jeff Nelson in 1980.
The band maintains a policy of affordable access to their work through low
record and ticket prices and all concerts are all-ages. In addition to their
recorded output Fugazi has released a documentary film/video called Instrument
in collaboration with independent filmmaker, Jem Cohen. The feature length
video offers a documentary overview of the band's career thus far with footage
shot in a variety of formats over the last 10 years combining concert, tour
and studio material backed with a musical soundtrack by the band unique
to the movie. Fugazi's most recent musical releases are The Argument, a
10 song LP and the Furniture 3 song single, both recorded in the spring
of 2001 to be released in the Fall of 2001. The band's live performances
are epic, incendiary, and memorable. Fugazi maintains a cult following unequaled
by their musical peers. |
