Fugazi live archive is online

by Independent Staff

Fugazi, the Washington post hardcore band born from the ashes of Minor Threat, has been on hiatus since 2003 (but it’s still considered active, since no official break-up was announced). During their career that started in 1987, Fugazi played hundreds of gigs all over the world, following a strict price policy for their tickets. they had to be cheap and affordable. They also often played for free benefit shows.

On December, 1, Dischord – the label run by Fugazi’s Ian McKaye – put online the magnificent Fugazi Live Series, a gargantuan collection of 800 live shows recorded between 1987 and 2003. Each show is available to preview for free, and to download for a pay-what-you-want fee, with five dollars the suggested price. The site launched with a base of a little more than 100 downloadable shows, with the rest to come.
