bumped to advertise joe lally's solo album!

dischord records wrote:Joe Lally (Fugazi) has also finished recording his first solo album, "There to Here," which we hope to release in October. "There to Here" was recorded by Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studios and by Ian at the Dischord House. The album features Lally's compositions with contributions from Eddie Janney (Rites of Spring, One Last Wish), Jason Kourkounis (Hot Snakes, Delta 72, etc.), Jerry Busher (French Toast), Guy Picciotto (Fugazi), Danny Frankel, Ian Mackaye (The Evens, Fugazi), Amy Farina (The Evens), Scott (Wino) Weinrich and Antonia Tricarico. Joe has been playing regional east coast dates with Don Zientara, toured in Italy and will be touring the states with Antelope in the fall of 2006.

since it has four-fifths of fugazi playing on it i'm counting this as a minor victory.

I saw Fugazi right up close in 2000. It was a great show. At the end, I yelled "Arpeggiator!" a few times, and Guy told the other guys to play it. Yes!

One thing that I always thought was pretty astounding was that they had no set lists and anyone, at any time, could start playing ANY one of the songs from their back catalog, and the whole band would be ready to play it. That's pretty amazing, I can't think of another band who operates in such a way.

I was gonna point this out as well. Three out of the four members of the band have kids now and the fourth guy is in a new band with his significant other. There's pretty much no chance in hell that the band will ever tour extensively (Ian made this clear in 2001 or 2002 when he was asked in an interview with JJJ if the band would ever play in Australia again). I think it's safe to say the band is done, which is fine by me since they left the game on top (The Argument is their best record, I think).

I suggest that Fugazi collectively drink a beer. Then maybe think about
a new record.

It usually seems like Steve's call, but Shellac does this for the most part.
