[kj] OT: Fugazi/Minor Threat's Ian MacKaye uses Dischord studio equip to aid investigation into Kent State massacre

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

That must be his new band, The Evens. It's just him, on the rarely-used 
baritone guitar (not a normal acoustic guitar) w/ Amy Farina on 
percussion. The songs have an almost political folk feel to them but 
sometimes manage to approach Fugazi intensity. Fugazi fans seem mixed 
about how good it is. But The Evens already have two LPs out. The tour 
dates are on the dischord.com website.

DC-area kids' show, believe it or not. The song here is "Vowel 
Movement." Sorta catchy.
