fugazi’s first demo
gregor | March 9th, 2010 - 3:28 pm
i dont think there is a band/artist that i listen to with any consistency that i hate/love/hate more than fugazi. actually i dont listen to em that often, and maybe just for that very reason. im sure im not alone in this kind of emotional flip-flopping in regards to said band. im hoping one day im gonna pop in repeater and just get “it.” sadly, im almost 15 years into this wishing and hoping, im still holding out cause i want it to happen. as the title suggests here is their first demo. buy their stuff via dischord.
1. merchandise
2. in defense of humans
3. break in
4. song #1
5. bad mouth
6. the word
7. and the same
8. waiting room
9. furniture

Wow! I’ve never heard these Fugazi demos before. Thanks for posting these.
It seems that the link for track 4, “Song #1″ isn’t working.

Did you ever see Fugazi live, G? If not, you certainly would have “got” them then! Face-melting, to say the least. While I’m here, the link for track 9 is not working.
nope dave, never got around to seeing em, sadly. let me check on that track…
its been fixed, dave…..
Thanks, G. Track 9 is all better now. Keep up the fine work, sir, and have a good day.
it’s like you read my mind on what I want to hear – awesome AGAIN!!
wow – thanks for these.
of any band in my life Fugazi is the one which has profoundly changed the way i think about and hear music. and life too. ian/fugazi is perhaps one of the nicest most sincere and honest people out there.
i have seen them a couple of time (and a few Evens shows too)…perhaps the most incredible shows i have ever witnessed. like u, i didn;t like Repeater as much as other records (probably still not as fave as 13 songs or anything after and including “In On” but to see the band play “styrofoam, “mercahndise” and others…that was when those songs clicked for me.
Fugazi demand a certain level of commitment from the listener, it seems like. I think this ethic stems from Minor Threat and the early days of hardcore, when you were either in or out. Their shows were amazing, really. I’ve seen many bands live, but they really were the best. They bled, sweated and cried (and danced) for literally the entire show. So did the audience, and Ian and Guy made it clear that it was a group effort. There was never a band like them and probably won’t be again.
I agree with ^^. It wasn’t until I saw them live and heard “End Hits” and “The Argument” that I ‘got it.’ Thanks for the post.
