 Fugazi (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the seminal hardcore punk group Minor Threat dissolved, Ian MacKaye (vocals and guitar) was active with a few mostly short-lived groups, (notably early emo-core band, Embrace) before forming a new trio, Fugazi, with drummer Brendan Canty (of Rites of Spring) and bass guitarist Joe Lally.

In the meantime, the members are currently undertaking side projects, with MacKaye forming the duo The Evens with Amy Farina (formerly of the Warmers), and Canty doing a variety of soundtrack scores and playing bass in the trio Garland Of Hours with frequent Fugazi guest contributors Jerry Busher and Amy Domingues.

I have a feeling it will grow on me. This CD is much more Lois-influenced than Brendan, as she sings all the songs; her voice is beautiful, and her acoustic guitar-playing is first class.
This is a CD that certainly doesn't have anything resembling the driving beats of Fugazi (or any other Brendan Canty project I know of), but it is catchy and pleasing in it's own way.
Her vocals are powerful and Brendan Canty's influence is simply delicious.

Teaming up with Brendan Canty, longtime Fugazi drummer and sometime producer, Maffeo both reclaims her surname and explores new horizons on this album.
Sticking to the folkie-grrrl stylings found on her K Records albums, released simply under the name Lois, Maffeo's partnership with Canty finds the songwriter's fare finding broader themes as well as new wrinkles, giving her acoustic strumming and smoky voice their most impact to date.
Tossing in fragments of everything from electric guitar to mellotron, his flair for accenting Maffeo's arrangements, as well as his ability not to lose the more subtle aspects of her guitar work in the mix, provides a hard-edged contrast to Maffeo's more elemental songwriting.

Collaboration between Brendan Canty (Fugazi) and Lois Maffeo (Courtney Love, the band not the movie star).
Maffeo as the arrangements were quite full and production decidedly "slick." On this, her Kill Rock Stars debut, she (along with Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty) proves that "Infinity's" promise was just that--promise for more and better things to come.
Canty, it seems, has pushed these songs into classic territories by arrangement alone.
