Every once in a while the punk rock geniuses here at Dying Scene like to unleash some punk rock trivia to enlighten and enhance the minds of you, the readers. Today’s trivia is about former Minor Threat and Fugazi (among others) front-man Ian MacKaye, and is brought to you by the letter “E.”
In 2001, Ian MacKaye formed a new band with his partner Amy Farina (of the Warmers) called the Evens. As Fugazi entered their hiatus, MacKaye had more time to focus on the post-post-hardcore band, and the band recorded a music video for their original composition “Vowel Movement” to air on the DC-based online children’s program, Pancake Mountain. The song is notable for not only being an upbeat Sesame Street-esque children’s song, but also for being the first (and in all likeliness, the only) time Ian MacKaye had ever recorded a music video for one of his songs.
You can watch the music video for “Vowel Movement” right here.
The Evens put out a two song single, appropriately titled “2 Songs”, in 2011 on Dischord Records.
