The Evens
I’m a HUGE Fugazi fan. I think they’re one of the most under-appreciated bands ever, and they’re probably #3 on my list of all-time favorites, so I’m embarrassed to say that I just found out about The Evens. They’re the newest band that Fugazi (and Minor Threat) frontman Ian Mackaye is a part of.
The music is way mellow, but it still has the completely original sounding arrangements that Fugazi was famous for. The band is just Ian and a girl named Amy Farina who plays drums and sings (like the White Stripes, without sounding at all like the White Stripes), and the songs are pretty lo-fi with just drums and Ian playing baritone acoustic guitar.
So, if you were a fan of Fugazi (and you’ve been living under a rock like I apparently have) you should definitely check out some of their songs on their “unofficial” Myspace page, let me know what you think.
