Fugazi bass player, Joe Lally, has announced the launch of a new website to sell CDs of the first of the many live recordings Fugazi has collected over the band's 15+ year career. The website can be found by going to:
PLEASE NOTE that while the Fugazi Live website is an official site run by the band, it is NOT a part of the regular Dischord.com webstore. Orders can ONLY be processed at www.fugaziliveseries.com. You may contact info.fuglive@earthlink.net with any questions or orders.
Now, here is a description of the Fugazi "Live" site from the band:
"For many years, Fugazi has made a point of taping our live shows. We started out using a simple cassette recorder, moved on to a digital audio tape recorder (DAT) and finally just burned straight on to CDs. Our past attempts at releasing a definitive live show proved fruitless as we could never settle on performances we all felt represented the band at its best. Instead it was decided that some day we would try to find an easy way to make as many of the tapes available to people as we could.
This site marks the beginning of that concept - a basic testing of the waters to see what, if any, interest there is. We have digitally transferred an initial sampling of tapes from our archives and for every order we receive, we will burn a CD copy of the show requested using a generic cover with concert information and a track listing.
These are very much the original recordings without any attempt to correct for things like volume changes, strange mixing effects, or the occasionally out-of-tune guitar. Though the sound quality on these tapes does vary, if a show was too poorly recorded it didn't make the cut. There will be more shows added as interest indicates and time permits but for now here's twenty."
Fugazi's latest releases are a 10 song album called "The Argument" (CD/LP) and a 3 song single, "Furniture + 2" (Cd single/7"). Please Note: None of the 3 songs on the single are included on the album.
Also out now is the INSTRUMENT DVD . In addition to the full film (which is also available on video), the DVD contains two extra short movies by Jem Cohen with Fugazi soundtracks (LITTLE FLAGS and GLUEMAN) as well as 3 additional unabridged live songs from 3 different concerts (WAITING ROOM, TURNOVER and LONG DIVISION).
Here are some stills from the film. See some clips from the video/DVD.
