🇲🇾🇺🇸 Vintage Fugazi Live In Kuala Lumpur! November 6, 1996 (Fire Pub Disco KTV) Flyer with Ian MacKaye's (34 y/o) Genuine Handwritten Signature *RARE; Malaysia; Washington; D.C.

Interview with Fugazi's Guy Picciotto (38 y/o) by Marcel Thee* (January 4, 2004) Is there any particular Fugazi show that stands out for you to this day? We played in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia once (7 years ago) and that show certainly sticks out. It was in the basement club of this insanely deluxe luxury hotel and we weren’t sure if anyone would know us or come out to the show. The place ended up being packed and the crowd shocked us by singing along like crazy. The energy was really overwhelming. The shows we’ve played in Brazil also stand out for that same kind of hysterical energy from the audiences. Its like being hit with a warm buoyant wave. Its funny now that we’ve played so many shows (probably well over a 1000) – the early shows seem memorable for confrontations or injuries and the later ones for a more positive co-mingled energy with the crowds. *Marcel Thee is a Jakarta-based journalist and writer who covers everything from culture, lifestyle, to business for the Nikkei Asian Review, Rolling Stone, VICE, The Jakarta Post, and more. ~ Ian MacKaye founded Dischord Records as a teenager in 1980 with partner Jeff Nelson. Their original intent was simply to release a single to document their recently defunct band, Teen Idles. However, the label has gone on to release music from more than 60 bands, with more than 160 albums over the last 25 years and counting. As musicians Ian and Jeff went on to form Minor Threat, who along with Bad Brains are credited in the early 80s with introducing the D.C. hardcore ethic to an audience well beyond Washington, D.C. In 1986, Ian formed Fugazi with Joe Lally, Brendan Canty and Guy Picciotto. Over 20+ years the band has released seven albums and toured the world extensively covering all fifty United States, Europe, Australia, South America, Japan and many points in between. Fugazi is self managed and maintains a policy of affordable access to their work through low record and ticket prices and all concerts are all-ages. In 2003 Fugazi decided to take an indefinite hiatus from recording and touring as young families and other priorities began to take center stage.
