詳細 2018年9月2日 18:10更新: Ian Mackaye founded Dischord Records as a teenager in 1980
with partner Jeff Nelson. Their original intent was simply
to release a single to document their recently defunct band,
Teen Idles. However, the label has gone on to release music
from more than 60 bands, with more than 160 albums over the
last 25 years and counting.

As musicians Ian and Jeff went on to form Minor Threat, who
along with Bad Brains are credited in the early 80s with
introducing the DC hardcore ethic to an audience well beyond
Washington, DC.

In 1986, Ian formed Fugazi with Joe Lally, Brendan Canty and
Guy Picciotto. Over 20+ years the band has released seven
albums and toured the world extensively covering all fifty
United States, Europe, Australia, South America, Japan and
many points in between. Fugazi is self managed and maintains
a policy of affordable access to their work through low record
and ticket prices and all concerts are all-ages. In 2003 Fugazi
decided to take an indefinite hiatus from recording and touring
as young families and other priorities began to take center
stage.

Since 2001, Ian has played in The Evens, a duo with Amy Farina.
The Evens revel in short-circuiting the conventions of rock
music and perform mostly in non-traditional music spaces --
libraries, art spaces, schools, theaters, etc. They have released
two albums and have toured extensively in North America,
Europe, South America, Australia, and New Zealand. Ian has also
been taking on speaking engagements, delivering talks that take
the form of informal Question and Answer sessions.
