to me, Messthetics with a free jazz sax player are the natural continuation of late Fugazi.

Waiting for you guys to come back. I’m 19 so I never got the chance to see you and there’s so many others in my generation who love fugazi!!

This was lovely. Fugazi was such a huge part of my youth. If they were touring again, it would shake the world.

Next to George Hurley from the Minutemen, there is nobody that plays hardcore as funky as Brendan. He is just so buttery and fast without being busy. And im happy to hear that he contributed riffs and song ideas. Thats really cool.

I loved this so much, but it made me very nostalgic for Fugazi. What an extraordinary band. Truly.

Fugazi was an amzing band, but man that Rites of Spring record still resonates with me to this day.

But he can, Canty?

Hell yes!! I love Fugazi.

No mention about working with Bob Mould?

gross black lives matters sign on his front door

I am so profoundly blessed to have been a part of this scene, to have seen fugazi play out so many times just by virtue of having grown up in the right time and place. my all time favorite band. the margin walker EP is the single most cohesive statement in melodic punk. I align with the politics, the ethic and ethos and the lack of pretense. I’ve met the guys and theyre gentlemen all. Amazing group.

bigups Brendan!

This guy has been an important part of my musical cannon

What a beautiful soul, and what a beautiful movie. Great work here

Yeah dude, don't do what Refused did. Keep it sacred.

Oasis was the reunion that we got, Fugazi is the reunion we need! The world will be a better place.

mon groupe préféré !!! pour toujours !!! toute ma vie j 'écouterai FUGAZI... jamais j oublierai ce concert a paris, Élysée Montmartre, il y a presque 30 ans!!! a ma gauche, a 1 metre, renaud, de LOFOFORA a ma droite, a 1 metre, bertrand, de NOIR DESIR... et mon meilleur ami, yannou, qui n'est plus la... une de ces journée qui a fait qui je suis aujourd'hui, musicalement...

Ring the Bell Brendan 1 Seriously he is one of the best Drummer all time

Damn, he comes accros as Henry, but than as a chill guy.

Love Fugazi more than a little surprised to find myself in this video

Elvis Costello shows up at 8:13

I lived in DC for a month in Anacostia and that place is terrible

Vai

Great drummer and human. “Break” always gets me hyped.

A lovely human being.

Really enjoyed this❤

How old is all of this? Those people still have masks on..

I have been a fan for over 30 years. Fugazi is my favorite band of all time, and its not close. They are musically, ethically, and intellectually my zone, nothing else music-wise means so much to me and so is close to my heart. I am not alone, in fact there are millions of us. Please, we need to see Fugazi again. Please.

It's one thing to see musicians getting older.....but there's something more unsettling to see punk rock guys age; THIS guy used to go apeshit on stage and create all kinds of anarchy?....he looks like a math teacher😂

I know exactly where is his house. I 'm 5 min away from him!

😳 what !?! Birthday Girl ! On it !

I would LIVE to see Fugazi again!!! I saw them in the late 90's at the Metropol in Pittsburgh, a band called Urge Overkill opened for them. Boy was UO heavy. Good stuff all around. Watching this inspired me to order Repeater, so excited!!!

So grateful to Fugazi for their music & ethos. Much love from Manchester (England) 🖤

Really enjoyed this. As rhythm section's go, he and Joe absolutely killer.

What a great guy. It’s nice to find out something you admire, like a band, is chill.

Amazing to see more film staring up in Florida.

Fucking legend. I would take exception to one thing he says though- he was way more than just a supporting member, he's a hell of a drummer and was integral to the sound and feel of the band.

I love seeing Brendan. I was one of the older crowd who practiced in the Dischord House basement in the early 80s. I’m actually in the photo Jim took. It was a great time to be alive and create something that people still enjoy to this day. Yes, Birthday Girl is incredible. Give em a listen.

He's so modest. Fugazi would be nothing without him and Joe, not just Ian and Guy, who are obviously great performers. Brendan's an absolute legend.

Pity Philip Seymour Hoffman is no longer with us. He’d definitely be Canty in the Fugazi biopic

Apparently, I’ve been pronouncing Guy’s name wrong all my life.

This is rad!

Solid gold. Love U bubba.

This was a touching video. Thanks for making it and posting it. Y’all got a good mix of nostalgia and optimism for the future. As an aging fugazi fan with kids of my own, it was nice to hear Brenden’s story and be able to relate. Take care.

Met him recently, what a loveable and humble dude!

Saw them 3 times. Once in SF w/Beat Happening. Another time in Oakland where one side was a Mexican wedding and the other side was Nation of Ulysses and Fugazi. And once in Sacramento.

Humble and amazing drummer. One of the greats.

The fact this abandoned mall was there the entire time with a carnival ride inside it Is absolutely baffling

This man is so solid. What a beautiful life and a wonderful interview thank you so much for making this. His drumming is like the sound of rain. A blissful downpour from heaven.

On the morning of January 8, 2011, I had this itch to listen to a song, and I couldn't place it, though I knew it was Fugazi. I searched early KZbin and landed on a 1991 anti gun violence concert in DuPont Circle in 1987. at about 10:05 AM MST the song came came up, Repeater. 100 miles to my SE, at that moment, my friend Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was shot along with 12 others. It took me a few months to make the connection. I am a native of DC, but grew up in Chattanooga. My dad worked for the ARC (Appalachian Regional Commission) on R Street in the 70s.
