Fugazi

Fugazi is an American punk
band that formed in 1987 in
Washington, D.C.. The band
members are guitarists and
vocalists Ian MacKaye and Guy
Picciotto, bassist Joe Lally
and drummer Brendan Canty. The
band name came from Mark
Baker's Nam, a compilation of
stories of Vietnam War
veterans, where it was used as
slang for "fucked up", or, to
be precise, "Fucked Up, Got
Ambushed, Zipped In (into a
body bag).

Fugazi are noted for their DIY
ethical stance and manner of
business practice. Fugazi has
been on hiatus since 2002.
Fugazi embarked on its first
tour in January 1988. In June
1988 the band recorded its
debut EP Fugazi with producer
Ted Nicely, and shortly
afterwards embarked on an
arduous tour of Europe. At the
tour's conclusion in December,
the band recorded songs for
its debut album. However, the
band was spent from touring
and decided that the resulting
sessions were unsatisfactory.
The tracklist was cut down to
an EP and released as Margin
Walker the following year.
Upon the band's return from
Europe, Picciotto, unsatisfied
with merely singing, began
playing guitar.

In January 1990, the band's
first album, Repeater, was
released . The band spent most
of the year touring behind
Repeater and routinely sold
out 1,000-capacity shows. By
summer 1991 the album had sold
more than 100,000 copies, a
large number for a label that
relied on word-of-mouth
promotion. While major labels
began to court Fugazi, the
band decided that Dischord was
distributing their records
well enough and refused the
offers.
