“This is not a Fugazi show,” says the event invite. It’s a reference to the smirking bootleg shirts and stickers that proliferated as a result of the DC hardcore band’s famous policy to not make or sell merch, and in that sense it’s entirely appropriate. Tonight’s screening will be not of the (excellent) official tour documentary, Document, but rather of a bootleg recording of Fugazi’s 1999 all-ages show at the now defunct DV8—2 hours long, with material from End Hits, Red Medicine, and beyond. I was there, 18 and stupid, but whether you were or not, this screening will be, as the invite also says, “the next best thing.” With performances by Strong Killings, Blood Orange Paradise.
