We asked Dischord about the current happenings with the members of Fugazi, who have been on hiatus since January of 2004. The band released their last studio record The Argument in 2001.

The members of the band are still busy however, with numerous projects ongoing or in the works. As reported earlier, Vocalist/guitarist Ian MacKaye continues to work with Amy Farina on The Evens, and will be headed to Japan to support The Evens.

Drummer Brendan Canty has been acting as producer for recent records from Mary Timony and Medications as well as performing on the recent solo release from Bob Mould titled Body of Song. Canty also continues to work on his Burn to Shine DVD series, which will release the Chicago edition on August 23rd and has begun work on the Portland, OR version. In the series Brendan and film maker Christoph Green travel to towns and film local acts performing in houses that are scheduled to be demolished or burned. Each disc documents the house, the performance and the demolition.

Guy Picciotto is also producing records with recent collaborations with The Gossip and Blonde Redhead. Joe Lally had been working with Decahedron who are currently on hiatus and is also working with John Fruscanti from Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
