<p><strong>Joe Lally</strong> is one of those bassists whose playing has largely defined ideas of what punk and post-punk can be. Best known as a founding member of <strong>Fugazi</strong>, Lally’s deeply, sometimes dub-inflected feel and tight rhythm-forward approach have influenced an entire generation as a critical component of Fugazi’s fiercely independent and uncompromising approach to being in a band. In more recent years, he’s continued to push boundaries with <strong>The Messthetics</strong>, a band that he plays in with Fugazi drummer Brendan Candy and Jazz virtuoso guitarist, Anthong Pirog. While sounding nothing like Fugazi, The Messthetics create a textural, instrumental intensity that is every bit as compelling as their lineage.</p><p>In this episode, Joe talks about how he approaches creativity in his work—then and now—offering insight into collaboration, restraint, and the power of groove as a form of expression. If you’re a lifelong Fugazi fan or are someone fascinated by the true spirit of independent music, this conversation goes deep into the mind of a musician who has always played with purpose and intent.</p><br><p><br></p><p> * * * * </p><p>PLEASE FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:</p><p>Website:</p><p> https://www.TheCApod.com </p><br><p>Facebook:</p><p> https://www.facebook.com/TheCApod/ </p><br><p>Instagram:</p><p> https://www.instagram.com/CreativeAsylumCA/ </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
