After the breakup of American hardcore legends Minor Threat out of America’s Washington, D.C. area Ian MacKaye had a short stint at bands with most notably being Embrace. He wanted to then get not necessarily a band, but a music project that had the hard rock punk intensity of ‘The Stooges’ yet with a reggae driving beat. Ian was looking at it for just finding a few in creating and making music all together with. This certainly became a reality that formed into an American iconic hardcore band Fugazi. The members included founding member Ian MacKaye – Guitar/Vocals, who brought in Brendan Canty – drums and Joe Lally – bass guitar with the final piece being Guy Picciotto – vocalist/guitarist. From 1986 to 2002 they went on to perform a bunch of successful worldwide tours, gone on to produce a stunning array of studio albums , with a film and a comprehensive live series. It all rocketed the band into critical acclaim and significant music success around the globe. Since the end of their 2002 UK tour which they sold-out 3 nights at the London Forum they have been on an ‘indefinite hiatus’ of around 13 years where there have been multiple rumors of a reunion, but nothing has excitedly gone into forward Fugazi music making again’ action.
