the Red medicine record, '95, was a game changer for indie rock, one of the biggest influences in my musical life.

[@tomgreen691]

That's one of my favorite records ever!!!

[@muruzabal]

What a wonderful document, tears came down several times. Thank you for spreading the music and values of the greatest band in the world. Thank you Fugazi!

[@dougstephens1979]

Thank you for making this! I did not know there was a tribute band for Fugazi but it makes a lot of sense since they are the greatest band in the world. I'd love to see you please tour So. Cal

[@johnnyscifi]

Fugazi means so so much to me!!!

[@MrChestnutUPrep]

In the current era of musicians writing songs by themselves on computers and working on each others' projects, there will not be another Fugazi. My favorite band ever, bar none.

[@phucket01]

We need fugazi more than ever!!!!!!!!!

[@kompressahdnb]

Now more than ever still!

[@laksmanarakalogatama5710]

wooow...awsome documentary,,you guys should come to indonesia...theres a band called waiting rooin jakarta use to cover FUGAZI since 1995...anyway thx for this awsome documentary....cheers from indonesia.

[@ThePopShopStudio]

We would love to come to Indonesia!

[@romerjason]

Going to their shows was different. It meant more. Wish kids nowadays had something as meaningful and moving instead of this mass produced nonsense. I’m still amazed at the people I turned onto them. To this day they don’t listen to other bands from then but fugazi persists

[@tonyajm8289]

I was at a friends who had a demo tape from southern Studios " What was that word again" and i think " Waiting Room". So I was clued up about them when they played Newcstle, England the first time. Funny but Fugazi ended punk for me due to the fact that no one can bettrr this! The Pistols, Damned and Fugazi. Brilliant music.

[@songstofuckto]

I was lucky enough to see Fugazi twice. Once in Auckland NZ and once in NYC. i broke my glasses dancing at the NYC show... oh well, still an amazing night.

[@themappist]

Nice job. Love this. Thank you.

[@ThePopShopStudio]

Thanks. Thank YOU!

[@matteframe]

Now that they've been gone so long I truly appreciate having seen them 10 or so times. Best memory was helping organize a free show at UC Berkeley / Lower Sproul (video on youtube) that was totally amazing. And the band totally put up with our amateur production. They always represented something great, something better to strive for, regardless of what you think the music (I fucken love it). Maybe that's why people compare them so much to religion.

[@ThePopShopStudio]

something better to strive for, well said.

[@pawelzawislak1671]

Cool doco!

[@andresmiller5269]

37:30 the girl's face resume all the Fugazi's story.

[@trefwoordpunk2225]

Her face is the perfect response to that abomination playing fucking ukelele....wtf is with that instrument and pathetic wannabes...if I never hear another fucking ukelele again it will be too soon....

[@whocares7368]

Heyyy Eddie is in this!

[@ThePopShopStudio]

Yep, he's wonderful.

[@anthonyrandall8045]

fugazi is great but why no write your own songs?

[@ThePopShopStudio]

Indeed, they are. We do. We're all in original bands and were back when this was made, too. I don't think we could stop making original music.

[@KMcCSEVEN]

they do and it's awesome!

[@theexpert8163]

WHATS A FUGAZI ????

[@markward5724]

It's an acronym derived from " fucked up, got ambushed, zipped in." It was a term used in Vietnam.

[@osoloco3651]

BROgazi... capitalism bad!! buy my record!!!

[@ThePopShopStudio]

buy THEIR record!

[@lawencelawson5089]

If you had any idea who fugazi is, you’d be embarrassed that you wrote that. Lmao...

[@joebrezel]

I still have my “This Is Not A Fugazi T-Shirt” from back in the day. 👍☝️✌🏻

[@genaharding6176]

Since I fell in love with Fugazi before the age of the internet and did not get to go see them, I didn’t realize how much other people love them too! It’s so awesome to hear how much they mean to others. I love how connected we all feel as Fugazi Fans. I love you all!

[@Johnny2Bags47]

Minor threat too

[@adolforamirez4182]

it was in 2002, i had a severe motrocycle crash, i was severly wounded and my sister brought me the last album of FUGAZI (The Argument). I stayed 3 weeks at the hospital, i was stucked in the bed (my legs were broken) and i listenned this album every days. it helped me a lot.

[@spiderjerusalem100]

Fugazi are in my top 5 favourite bands, i love them so much. I've never seen them live..........

[@zaneburnett8095]

Thanks for including me and my daughter covering I'm so tired! It's amazing that if all the shows they played, of the few discussed in this, the one show I was at was celebrity theater! Memories are rad

[@pleasemrbrandon]

oh shit Zane! That's cool.

[@ryansboddy3491]

I was at the Celebrity Theatre show as well.

[@Penny_Royalty]

Fauxgazi is one hell of a cover band name 😂

[@elgaijin2488]

0:38, with the antihero skateboards shirt, beautiful

[@nippermh]

Fugazi’s energy live was so powerful.

[@fooglez]

Was just a bit too young to see them live and missed out. Love fugazi.

[@purplereigninblood]

So lucky to have skateboarding who opened the door for me at a young age. Saw Fugazi three times and met Ian at the last show in Cincinnati . Such an important part of my life.

[@OMDFTW]

Hello Denver ! Going to 27th and Arapaho warehouse shows in the 90s felt like being in DC.... it was great and I am very happy to see familiar faces in this documentary. Notably Ian and Keith who are great and kind people. Cheers from France fellas.

[@fugazibrahma]

Awesome documentary! Thanks for taking the time to make this, it is a great tribute to the best band in the world!

[@ThePopShopStudio]

You're welcome. It took a long time, but of course it was fun.

[@justkidding8529]

KZbin algorithm delivered this to me! Amazing documentary! Repeater is my all time fav. I’m lucky enough to say I have seen fugazi many times, I opened for them in 93 where I also hung out with them at Denny’s after the show. Later I was in a band with Jed Kopp, and friends with Keith Curts of Fauxgazi/ this documentary brings a tear to my eye!

[@godstomper]

Our band can be your life is one of the best books ever.

[@DrMJC13]

Great film. Thank you for putting this together!

[@ThePopShopStudio]

Thank you, I appreciate that.

[@teetoys76]

Fugazi’s my Beatles .

[@Stenichnjak]

Fucked Up Got Ambush Zipped In situation

[@willardkennedy6344]

Believe it or not I'm 43 and I apologize to fugazi 4 not hearing u guys till now damn

[@SLUGGER_CITY]

Better late than never!!

[@The_Other_Ghost]

That guy looks a bit like Ian.

[@roberthunter5119]

Fucking rad

[@lowend]

I was at that Speedway show! Unfortunately we were only able to see 3 songs. Luckily I caught them a few years later with Rocket From The Crypt- great times!

[@yo2stix]

They challenged me to grow. DIY.

[@benzun9600]

Fugazi the 1 and only true anti establishment band. Their 10 shows were amazing

[@markward5724]

Oh damn! I saw fugazi four times! Please tell me you guys are still playing!!!! I've never seen so many people at one time who likes fugazi... Except at the shows!

[@adsensedd]

I didn't get into Fugazi until later on, just after Red Medicine was released. Saw them at the Italo club in Lismore, Australia. One of the best shows I have ever seen.

[@katielawrence5420]

I love Foreigner.

[@festyguy7405]

I remember Fugazi opening for Foreigner.

[@Johnny2Bags47]

Pretty cool. Love covering waiting room. Fugazi kicks ass. Waiting Room is the only song we play by them However we pretty much cover ....hmm well maybe only 6. Yeah exactly 6 Minor Threat tunes

[@ThePopShopStudio]

cool cool but give something other than waiting room a try

[@dougstephens1979]

What do you guys think about making your own fugazi t-shirt these days? The odds are they won't end their hiatus. I'm just such a huge fan and want to proudly display my love for them and maybe turn other people on to them if they see my t-shirt. Maybe just an album cover or a photo of them playing live. Anyone have thoughts about that?

[@ThePopShopStudio]

Doug Stephens Sorry, but they never did, and we won't. We do like to spread the word about them by playing though. Thanks for watching the doc!

[@darknemesis21]

Just do it

[@snuffcore9686]

DIY

[@jimdavis6519]

I found this band through skateboarding, very lucky to have seen them in chapel hill, it felt like the whole bar was moving side to side, it was cool seeing a lot of people doing the pogo at one time , best to all

[@dimlamplight]

Thank you for making such a great film!! I loved seeing Fugazi every summer at Fort Reno Park.

[@ThePopShopStudio]

You are welcome. Good memories, I'm sure :)

[@bigpantswastepreciousfabri8104]

My mom’s high school senior project was doing an interview with Ian Mackaye before they played a show around 1990. That tape is long gone but I hope someone discovers it and uploads it, would love to watch it!

[@johnnyscifi]

Killtakers my fave

[@Jeremiah65000]

Instrument is the first song I learned to sing and play gtr at the same time. Still bust it out once in a while. Such a great band..

[@ryanx9372]

Yes!

[@AndyKooyer]

I had this same idea! If you come to Minnesota let us know!

[@johnnyscifi]

I never got to see Fugazi...:(

[@itsMrNoble]

johnnyscifi That's a tragedy. I saw them 4 or 5 times and they were always amazing.

[@Penny_Royalty]

Fugazi is as punk as it gets.

[@markward5724]

Watching it again...I also have a very weird fugazi encounter story that would blow your minds. But I'm still living the aftermath of all that

[@rainontent5957]

You can't tease us with a story and not tell us.....Please, what is it, blow our minds?!

[@bigpantswastepreciousfabri8104]

Spill it!

[@jongussner6590]

Prototool

[@ThePopShopStudio]

Influenced Justin Chancellor especially, I'd say.

[@chrisk405]

Awesome!

[@FunkDrSpok]

What is the song playing at 1:50?

[@ThePopShopStudio]

Target, from Red Medicine. They (Fugazi) start playing it at 1:30 and then it fades to us (Fauxgazi) at 1:45.

[@ponderingdesertrat6895]

The most pretentious fan base for the most pretentious band. Lol all you hipsters. The entire band was a rip off of War Head by the U.K subs

[@soulthrasher9]

Fucking cover band? Make your own music.

[@ThePopShopStudio]

As the doc states, we've all been making our own music since the 90s.
