Who do the members of Fugazi cite as influences musically?
Brendan- Jazz Joe- “the people in my band, Arthur Lee, Scott (Wino) Weinrich of the Obsessed and now Shine, Louis Armstrong, Joy Division, the list is endless I suppose”. Ian- He has said that his influences are Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Beatles, Ted Nugent (apparently Ian finds it interesting that Ted hunts and kills all of his own food), Queen, and Cheap Trick. Guy- we will ask him As a band- Guy: “we don’t really have any set influences that we all share as a band per say, mainly because we all listen to so much different stuff that it would be kind of impossible to cover the full range. that said, i would say the most obvious source of inspiration for us has always been other bands from DC – from bands like the Bad Brains and Void in the early 80’s to bands like Dead Meadow, Quixotic and the All Scars now. It may not always show up in strictly musical terms but we feel most tied into other bands from DC as a matter of community.
