Fugazi

On August 7, 1993, Fugazi performed 'Facet Squared' at the National Sylvan Theater in Washington D.C. This live recording took place during the 'Concert For Justice,' commemorating the 30th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic March on Washington. Just prior to this performance, Fugazi's 1993 album 'In on the Kill Taker' released earlier that year had already showcased their evolution in sound, blending post-hardcore grit with more intricate melodies and thoughtful lyrics. The band, known for their DIY ethos, remained fiercely independent, choosing to leave a profound impact on the punk scene while also advocating for social justice—a theme that resonated deeply at this benefit concert. It's fascinating how this live setting offered not only a musical experience but also a platform for political expression, capturing the essence of both Fugazi's art and the historical significance of the event.
