Fugazi

On December 28, 1987, Fugazi performed a full set at D.C. Space, just after releasing their debut EP, 'Fugazi,' earlier that year. This recording captures the raw energy and passion the band was known for, showcasing their unique blend of post-hardcore and punk. By this time, Fugazi was quickly gaining a following, thanks in part to their DIY ethic and powerful live performances. An interesting fact about this recording is how it represents a pivotal moment in their career; they were at the cusp of transition from an underground scene to broader recognition. The set exemplifies their tight musicianship and Ian MacKaye's dynamic stage presence, reflecting the unfiltered spirit of the local punk scene in Washington, D.C. at the time.
