The Year in Interviews

Brendan Canty, another former Fugazi member, spoke with us about his various music and film projects, which include the unique Burn to Shine DVD series.

There was a rumor over the summer that Fugazi would reunite to play a Fort Reno show again, which seemed to me immediately bogus. My impression is that you guys aren't getting back together, and definitely not for just one show. Yeah. [Laughs] I mean, we might do it for a benefit kind of thing. But everybody is doing something different. Almost all of us have kids now. Fugazi was a real full time activity and the reason we stopped a few years ago was because it didn't feel like Fugazi when we only did it twenty percent of the time.

But you're right, I don't see us putting it all back together, which would be a lot of work. We still see each other all the time, except for Joe, who's moved to Rome. If there was a burning desire for us to get back together and do it, we would do it. There's nothing necessarily stopping us. But I don't see it happening. I've got to say, it doesn't feel like things are pointing in that direction. It just doesn't seem like that would necessarily be a step forward for any of us. It doesn't really make sense, you know?
