Ian MacKaye’s D.C.-based band, made up of former bandmates from Fugazi and the Evens, is putting out a full-length album on March 27.

Joined by Fugazi bassist Joe Lally and Evens drummer Amy Farina, the group formed in 2015, but didn’t perform live until a 2018 show at St. Stephen and the Incarnation Episcopal Church—back when they were still nameless. Now, the punk outfit is putting out an 11-song, self-titled record with their new name: Coriky.

“Every band name has been taken, and they all have lawyers,” MacKaye said when the trio debuted, according to NPR.

A spokesperson for the group explains by email: “Coriky (common spelling Kuriki) is a dice game that a number of folks in the D.C. punk community used to play on tour.”

The album, on Dischord Records, is available for pre-order on Bandcamp, and the band’s first single, on which all three band members sing, is out now:

The song is decidedly more laid back than Fugazi’s high-octane, breakneck punk, made famous from the group’s seven records and hundreds of concerts around the world in the 1980s and 1990s. The album was recorded last year with Don Zientara, the Arlington producer behind most Dischord legends of the past, including Minor Threat and Fugazi.

Fugazi has been on an indefinite hiatus for nearly two decades, but that hasn’t stopped superfans from finding ways to honor the band—such as graphic designer Carni Klirs’ data visualization of Fugazi’s impact from 1987 to 2002.

The new group, Coriky, describes itself on Bandcamp as such: “Formed in 2015, Coriky did not play their first show until 2018. They have recorded one album. They hope to tour.”

Coriky plays at St. Stephen’s Church again on Saturday, Feb. 22. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 8 p.m. Admission is free, but donations to Thrive D.C. are welcome.

A message from the band: “Please bring any D.C. punk ephemera that you might want to donate as D.C. Public Library staff will be on hand to receive materials.”
