Fugazi: The Ritz, New York NY
Michael Azerrad, Rolling Stone, 25 June 1992
ONE OF this country's few truly underground bands, Fugazi refuses to join a major label and adamantly avoids any promotion. The band members won't even flog T-shirts, yet their self-released records sell over 100,000 copies apiece. Fugazi sold out the 2600-capacity Ritz, and not just because the band charged its usual five-dollar admission to the all-ages crowd — for a measly fin, ticket buyers ger intense, impassioned performances that make Fugazi perhaps America's best live band.
