INSTRUMENT

a feature length film/video about the band, Fugazi,
directed by Jem Cohen and Fugazi.

115 mins. color. stereo. March 1999.

A collaboration between filmmaker Jem Cohen and the
Washington DC band, the project covers the ten-year
period from the band's inception in 1987. Far from
a traditional documentary, the project is a musical
document: a portrait of musicians at work.

Says Cohen: "With no desire on my part or the
band's to create a factual career survey or any
kind of promotional vehicle, the project presented
an opportunity to cut things loose. Mixing
sync-sound 16mm, Super-8, video, and a wide range
of archival formats, the piece includes concert
footage, studio sessions, practice, touring,
interviews and portraits of audience members from
around the country. Piecing it together over the
course of about 5 years, I thought of bringing
"dub" to documentary -- of a project where
unadulterated real-time performances, abstract,
rough-hewn Super 8 collages and archival artifacts
would collide and conjoin in a way that honestly
represented musical experience. The project was
edited with band members and extensively uses
soundtrack elements provided by Fugazi specifically
for the film."

Fugazi has produced 6 albums, and has toured
extensively in the U.S. and overseas, including all
50 states in the USA and such places as Singapore,
Brazil, and Sardinia. The band is self managed and
releases all their material through Dischord
Records, an independent label founded by Ian
MacKaye and partner Jeff Nelson in 1980. The band
maintains a policy of affordable access to their
work through low record and ticket prices and plays
only all ages shows.

Fugazi is a band from Washington, D.C. They played
their first show in the fall of 1987 and since then
they have released 7 albums and toured the world
extensively covering all 50 United States, Europe,
Australia, South America, Japan and many points in
between. The band is self managed and release all
their material through Dischord Records, an
independent label founded by Ian MacKaye and
partner Jeff Nelson in 1980. The band maintains a
policy of affordable access to their work through
low record and ticket prices and all concerts are
all-ages.

In addition to their recorded output Fugazi has
released a documentary film/video called
"Instrument" in collaboration with independent
filmmaker, Jem Cohen. The feature length video
offers a documentary overview of the the band's
career thus far with footage shot in a variety of
formats over the last 10 years combining concert,
tour and studio material backed with a musical
soundtrack by the band unique to the movie.

Fugazi's most recent musical releases are "The
Argument" 10 song lp and the "Furniture" 3 song
single, both recorded in the spring of 2001 to be
released in the Fall of 2001. These sessions mark
the first studio appearance of long time roadie and
second drummer Jerry Busher who plays additional
drums and percussion on a number of the tracks on
both releases. The recordings were once again made
in collaboration with long time Fugazi engineer Don
Zientara at Inner Ear studios.

Prior to forming Fugazi the members of the band
played in various other bands with releases
available on the Dischord

Ian MacKaye: Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Skewbald,
Egg Hunt & Embrace.
Brendan Canty and Guy Picciotto: Rites of Spring,
One Last Wish, Happy-Go-Licky.
