Welcome and Initial Info

Hello and welcome to the Fugazi Covers Project Blog, where I’ll be posting updates about who’s doing what. We’ve already got some folks signing up, so here’s a list of who’s called dibs on specific tracks so far.

Gold Streets – Blueprint (Repeater)
Daniel Decriscio – Smallpox Champion (In On The Killtaker)
Jeffrey Opdyke – Waiting Room (13 Songs)
Mike Barthel – Arpeggiator (End Hits)
Beastmaster Romance & The Earl of Bandwidth – Repeater (Repeater)

Did I miss anybody? I know other people have expressed general interest as well, which is awesome. Let me know when you pick a song and I’ll post it.

I’d really like to make sure that everybody who’s interested in participating here gets a chance to contribute something, so I’m hoping that we can all help each other out when needed – setting people up with each other to work on a track together, helping folks out who need help getting things recorded, etc. So in that spirit, we currently have a drummer looking for some project bandmates (Jeff – maybe you want to write a comment letting folks know what sort of cover you’re looking to do) and another looking to find a way to get some drums recorded (anybody care to offer up access to some practice space and a mic?)

Finally I’ve got an invitation for you. Next Wednesday (May 14) is Bike Night at the Brooklyn Brewery. The brewery is one of Braking the Cycle’s sponsors, so a bunch of teams are setting up fundraising tables – selling food, etc. The Rims (me, Tina, Mike, Jeffrey) will be selling baked goods. But the tidbit you may be most interested to hear is that there will be $1 DRAFTS. Come hang out and have some quality beer for cheap!

The details:

Bike Night at the Brooklyn Brewery
Wednesday, May 14th, 6:30PM-9:30PM
The Brooklyn Brewery
79 N. 11th Street
Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Hope to see you there!
