Erik Stabile: Purveyor of Media

Music is good for the brain, said Joe Lally, former bassist of Fugazi, as he prepared the microphone. Lally sang somberly to the crowd, reminding us of the beauty and ugliness of America. It was as though our ship was heading for an iceberg. He was accompanied on this sinking ship by My Flag is On Fire and the scenery was beautiful.

Later in the set, Lally, walked off the stage and joined the immediate crowd for an A’Capella piece on war. He challenged our conceptions on the word ‘War’ and delivered a grave reminder to events taking place overseas.
