316.0. "FUGAZI" by VANISH::CROOKSTON (Don't throw the 'R' away !!!) Mon Jan 16 1989 11:03

    
    I saw a programme on BBC2 last night called 'SNUB'. I believe it
    was a repeat showing of a programme shown earlier in the week (note:
    isn't that sort of thing happening A LOT nowadays - show a programme
    on Monday, repeat it on Thursday sort of syndrome.)
    
    Anyway, there was an American band on there called FUGAZI. Anyone
    heard of them? They were sort of Gang Of Four'ish'. I was was
    impressed.
    
    Alos on the same show were House Of Love who have a rather pretentious
    lead singer but aren't bad. 
    
    Tonights programme, which will be repeated next Sunday night, contains
    some World Domination Enterprises footage.

    Aaaah, Tommy! Mere mention of the Gof4....!!
    
    I caught the programme by accident on Sunday, just as the intro
    to House of Love's song cranked itself up - I was immediately arrested
    by that guitar sound (I've never heard this band before, but I'll
    *definitely* be making further investigations!) and went on to watch
    the rest of the show. 
    
    Fugazi also I liked a lot, and Yello were quite amusing too...
    
    But most of all, I like the sound and feeling generated by a loud
    electric guitar in this kind of setting - there is life in
    rock'n'roll-land after all!!
    
    Good luck Snub
