Post-hardcore group Fugazi maintains
integrity, edge with brutal 6 Repeater’
By JOHN RIGHTER
Of The Battalion Staff
In the last five years strange
things have happened to modern
music. An invisible, dividing line
separated artists accessible to com
mercial radio and record store
chains from their alternative coun
terparts who were more concerned
with their sacred creative license.
Each group had a choice: com
mercial acceptability or musical con
trol (and probably integrity).
That has largely changed.
Now groups and perfomers such
as the Cure, Love and Rockets, Red
Hot Chili Peppers, Sinead O’ Con
nor and R.E.M. have experienced
both notoriety and financial success
in the revolutionized markets of “po
pular” music.
In fairness to these bands, it has
been less a compromise on their be
half as it has been a change in the at
titudes of a middle America finally
turned-on to alternative rock.
The arrival of “commercial” (or
major label) alternative rock,
though, has alienated the indies (in
dependently signed bands) even
more, leaving a growing schism be
tween major-label backed groups
and their true underground coun
terparts.
In this sense, Dischord’s (record
company) Fugazi is a “shining white
night.” I certainly do not condemn
any band for jumping to a major la
bel, and fully recognize that such a
jump does not always, and certainly
not conditionally, result in forsaken
creative license. But I applaud the
commitment by frontman Ian
MacKaye and company for not
straying from their self-righteous
approach and still staying with their
Dischord partnership.
The gain Fugazi has made in ab
solute project control has been sacri
ficed somewhat in potential audi
ence. Trust me — Fugazi is the best
new (the group is three years old) al
ternative band, yet they remain an
unknown. The proper recognition is
building, but slowly.
With Repeater, the group’s first
full-length release, Fugazi has
crafted an intense album that chan
nels its aggressive intelligence
through a collage of hardcore, rock
and funk.
Although not a true concept pro
ject, the album’s reactionary nature,
whether dealing with the ethical
abuses of business in “Merchandise”
or the disgust with bigotry and igno
rance in “Styrofoam,” molds Re
peater into a chapter-building pro
ject that wipes another window clean
with each succeeding number.
The title track is a hard-edged
funker that displays the vehemence
and disgust that made MacKaye a
hardcore legend with Minor Threat.
“Down by law, I got this nasty ha
bit,” MacKaye screams. “When I
need something I reach out and
grab it. Once upon a time I had a
name and a way, But to you I’m
nothing but a number.
“Did you hear that outside? It
sounds like a gun. Stay away from
that window, boy. It’s not anyone we
know.”
“Two Beats Off’ is a melodic
rocker on the outside, but from
within the raspy chokes of Picciotto,
lies the same nihilistic disgust.
“I cut my nails to the quick, But
still I was caught with my hand in the
till, Red handed. Give me some
thing, give me anything. The threat
of everything is when it becomes
nothing at all.”
The most fascinating and also
alarming song is the finale, “Shut
The Door.” “Shut The Door” is a de
ceiving wrist-slit midway by the
song’s graphic subject and chord
changes. The song starts slowly, but
unwinds into complete chaos, then
cuts back to a barely audible groove,
before exploding again behind
MacKaye’s patented screams.
“I burn a fire to stay cool. I burn
myself, I am the fuel. I never meant
to be cruel. Have you ever been
cruel,” MacKaye whispers before
screaming, “She’s not breathing.
She’s not moving. She’s not coming
back. Shut the door so I can leave.”
Deserving as much credit as the
material itself is the album’s song or
der. Fugazi and producer Ted Ni
cely package Repeater to maximize
the album’s tempo fluctuations. The
rimal screams of MacKaye are bro-
en up by Picciotto’s more melodic
chants and the drum-centered piece,
“Brendan #1.”
The duality effect eases the con
stant barrage of MacKaye. Without
Picciotto, the force of MacKaye’s
messages would be blunted, a prob
lem MacKaye faced with Minor
Threat.
A final commendation goes to the
album’s musical growth, shedding all
traces of typical rock convention. Re
peater is a musically well-rounded
spectacle that doesn’t amaze as much
with the actual playing as it does with
its innovative stop-start patterns.
After a trio of wonderful EPs (two
12-inches and a seven inch), Fugazi
has broken new and intriguing
ground with the aggressive Re
peater. The band has also managed
to maintain its commitment to music
for itself, proven by the group’s in
sistence on unusually low album and
ticket prices.
Again, I’m not condemning the
groups who have sought higher
ground with major-label deals (and
increased audience), but I am con
gratulating Fugazi for keeping the
faith.

Ten Hands funks it up at Front Porch Cafe tonight
Ten Hands is back in town once
again. Dallas’ favorite funksters has
included the Front Porch Cafe to
night at 9 p.m. on their latest circuit
around Texas.
Still promoting material from
Kung Fu ... That’s What I Like and
The Big One Is Coming (both re
leased on their esg label), the band is
in the continual process of devel
oping new songs on the road. The
latest material includes several songs
the group recently recorded to ped
dle to the major labels in hopes of a
contract.
In Texas, Ten Hands remains one
of the hottest club acts, spearhead
ing the state’s funk craze, and has
now started to branch out by playing
in Oklahoma, Missouri and other
states. The out-of-Texas stints
should rejuvenate the already crazed
funksters.
Keyboardist and singer Paul Sla-
vens’ tongue-in-cheek lyrics and de
liveries (“Moses In My Life” and
“The Exxon Song” are crowd favor
ites) mix with Gary Muller’s rare,
bass-toned Chapman stick and the
amazing guitar work of Steve Brand.
Earl Harvfnis the workhorse of the
quintet, pummeling away on drums,
while percussionist Joe Cripps
smooths the group’s eclectic edges.
Critically acclaimed for their com
bination of dance funk, fusion and
pop ballads (which seems to have a
greater role now in their shows),
Ten Hands is fast becoming a cult
item around Bryan-College Station.
Tickets are $5.
