Ian MacKaye Is In A Band with Joe Lally in Washington, DC

Ian MacKaye has finally reunited with bassist Joe Lally, but it’s not for the ‘band whose name we shall not speak’. This new as-yet-unnamed band also includes his Evens bandmate Amy Farina.

They will play their first show this Sunday, November 11 at St. Stephen’s Auditorium in Washington, DC, at a benefit for Loaves & Fishes.

The show is free but it’s for charity so make sure you donate. Details are below. If you decide to go, please let us know, we’d love to hear about it.

Also, fun fact, that ‘band whose name we shall not speak’ plays together in Washington, DC, all the time.
