It’s happened before and it’ll happen again: rumors of a Fugazi reunion began swirling around the blogosphere today.
Rumors are all over the place that Fugazi will get back together for one final show to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their first show, which was documented in Instrumental. The show is supposedly taking place at the Fort Reno Park in Washington, DC on Monday, September 3, 2007.
We even got caught up in the excitement ourselves, imagining exactly what kind of picnic dinner would constitute a Steady Diet of Nothing — for about five minutes that is, the time it took for Amanda from Fort Reno to email us back. Here’s what she said:
IT IS A HOAX. apparently it was up on wikipedia this morning and my brother took it down but its been popping up on folks’ blogs all day.
The whole thing seems to have started due to the planned Sept. 3 release of Keep Your Eyes Open, an absolutely real book of photos of the band by Glen E. Friedman, which we wrote about earlier, and in fact speculated (or more like wished) about the possibility of a reunion show in conjunction. Sadly, our hopes and these latest rumors haven’t panned out. Sorry, kids.
