The Illinois State University School of Creative Technologies welcomes Ian MacKaye to the Normal Theater. Ian MacKaye is an American musician best known as the co-founder and owner of Dischord Records, a Washington, D.C. based independent record label, and the frontman of hardcore punk band Minor Threat and post-hardcore band Fugazi. The evening will begin with a 6:30pm screening of the documentary WE ARE FUGAZI FROM WASHINGTON, D.C. followed by a conversation with Ian MacKaye. This event is free to attend and open to the public, and is made possible by the David Brian Williams Visiting Artist Series. If you need accommodations, please contact [email protected].
Created to commemorate the 20 years that have passed since DC-based post-hardcore band Fugazi’s last live appearance (November 4, 2002, at The Forum in London), WE ARE FUGAZI FROM WASHINGTON, D.C. is a 96-minute movie comprising crowd sourced, fan recorded live shows and rare archive footage of Fugazi curated by Joe Gross, Joseph Pattisall and Jeff Krulik.
Explicitly billed as a nondocumentary (tHISiSNOTaFUGAZIdOCUMENTARY,) the film pays tribute to Fugazi’s prowess as a live act — for old fans to remember and for a new generation to discover what they missed. This unique archival assemblage celebrates the fans and their cameras, as much as the band itself — a collision/ collusion of the ephemeral moment on stage, and the moments captured on camera.
