i wrote an amazing tidbit about fugazi and posted it in the log message which i thought would appear as the band descriptions, internoobs later - i lost my brilliant soliquay (sp?)
this is all i had copy pasted, even though i thought i selected all
how would you describe fugazi?
fugazi i believe came out of the ruins of minor threat, after the barbarians tore down the front door and everyone started living in fugazi dominated farm lands lorded over by almighty ian mackaye. he is the main person associated with the band and its hard to hide his trademark ears.
I could copy paste a wiki article or some kid's geospace, but id rather refer you to google. ill take the initiative now to ask you personally - what do you associate with fugazi's approach to rock and roll?
- i cant recreate the words i had two seconds ago though, these were only opening statements - damned impermanence of reality!
overall i asked directly to you friends how you would you describe fugazi?
gripping and powerful? chill and mellow?
associate them with such overused terms as emo?
in music lyrics usually matter, structure matters- however fugazi transcends this for me and creates a music that can only be experienced personally (for me at least)
their music seems to be spontaneous and in the moment but passionately driven.
Quote:Embrace was a short-lived post-hardcore band from Washington, D.C., which lasted from the summer of 1985 to the spring of 1986 and was one of the first bands to be dubbed in the press as emotive hardcore, though the members had rejected the term since its creation. The band included Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat with three former members of his brother Alec's band The Faith: guitarist Michael Hampton, drummer Ivor Hanson, and bassist Chris Bald. The only recording released by the quartet was their self-titled album Embrace.
Following the breakup of Embrace, MacKaye rejoined former Minor Threat drummer Jeff Nelson to form Egg Hunt. Bald moved on to the band Ignition, and drummer Ivor Hanson paired up with Hampton again in 1992 for Manifesto.
During the band's formative years, some fans started referring to their and fellow innovators Rites of Spring's music as emocore, a term vocalist Ian MacKaye publicly disagreed with
