Song of the Day: Fugazi “Waiting Room”

FugaziAs a youth in this area my weekends were filled with finding a car and somebody that could drive into the city to catch a show. I spent many nights at the old 9:30 Club and Sacred Heart Church in Adams Morgan getting rowdy and enjoying great high energy music.

If you grew up in this area in the late 80s and early 90s then you knew Fugazi. The most successful band on an independent label Fugazi broke the mold of what you typically think of when considering the DC Punk and Hardcore scene. Songs like “Waiting Room” encouraged kids to actually dance as opposed to just brutalizing each other in the pit all night. I have on rare occasion worked this into a set with surprising results.
