Nice New Outfit

This week's blast from the past cd review is Fugazi's "Steady Diet Of Nothing". I found this one the other nite and this morning put it on and took a trip down memory lane. Everyone knows Fugazi, they are that punk rock band that only charged $5 for their shows and $10 for cds. Ian MacKaye along with Guy Picciotto alternated the singing duties and screamed a lot. Fugazi's most famous song Waiting Room can be found on 13 Songs but some other classics were on "Repeater" and "Steady Diet Of Nothing". On Steady you have the opening song Exit Only, followed by Reclamation and one of my faves Nice New Outfit. Fugazi is one of those bands that when they are one you sing along and enjoy it but never pull a cd out to just listen. I think its also an age thing, fugazi just makes you think of all ages shows and young punk kids. I remember seeing them back in the day, Fugazi was very anti moshing which is funny when you listen to their style of music. Anyways this punk kid Garrett from highschool got kicked out of the show for stage diving, Ian grabbed him and started yelling it was pretty funny. If you want a good dose of old school, check out Fugazi again, you won't be disappointed.

    That's true about the anti-moshing policy. I saw them at a roller rink in Chicago and they sounded great but their set was interrupted after every song so Ian could tell people to jump in place and not hit or push their neighbors.
