Fugazi live series

just in case anyone else is a fan (received via
dischord mailing list)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

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:

http://www.fugaziliveseries.com

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
http://www.fugaziliveseries.com. You
may contact <[email protected]> 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 it's 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. "
