Hi Brendan, I hope you read this someday. You are one of my greatest sources of inspiration, I want to thank you for everything you have given to culture in the world, Your way of playing is unique and special, Listening to those beautiful rhythms has helped me through the years, Thank you thank you thank you Greetings from somewhere in Mexico City
I think it's rare these days to just have an artist talk plainly and openly about how they make a living, how they live, and explain it all in a friendly down-to-earth way. I think this is why I always loved Fugazi. Just a few guys from DC making music, doing it themselves, and no barriers between fans and them.
This guy is amazing. Loved watching him play in Fugazi. It was the first time I realized it was ok to actually know how to play and be musical and still be punk.
Brendan is a powerhouse of a drummer and a gift to the world. His final statement gave me hope. "Somebody's Bad Brains are out there." Because if the scene dies, the culture dies. Forward-thinking music that pushes the envelope isn't created in a vacuum. It thrives inside scenes. I'm so glad to hear it's all still happening in D.C., because it's totally dead around my neck of the woods, lol. Really nice video, thanks.
I was one of the neighborhood skate rat kids who grew up in Arlington, skating to the 7-11 on 4th and Washington Blvd, during the mid-1980's. I always will remember meeting the members of the Dischord House when skating to the store, and the influence that they had on me then. Becoming a musician, and older teen in the late eighties, gave me the opportunity to know the music scene in DC from a completely different perspective. I'll treasure that era. This was a great interview! Thank you!
@@whitelakeofficial - It's funny, because at the time, we were all pretty much clueless, other than the fact we lived skateboarding, and punk rock (I'm hesitant to use that descriptor, though). So many good times growing up there. It feels like a million miles, and years, from where we're all at, now.
This is lovely. So torn on whether I want Fugazi to get back together and play (publicly). It’s such a perfect legacy, that in a way it the tasteful thing would be to leave it to rest as it is. But, I passed up the opportunity to see them play in Bristol, as I was shattered from work, shortly before they called it a day, and it will haunt me forever that I never saw them live.
I helped Brendan carry his old Gretsch drums (the ones he used with Fugazi in this video) to the stage at a show a while back. That was a big moment for me, as he is a huge inspiration to me. What a great guy
This was great. Thanks for making it. He’s been a big part of so many bands and albums I love. Rites of Spring, One Last Wish, Fugazi…Well done Mr. Canty
Great to see this. As a high schooler who didnt know anything about drumming I definitely picked up on his drumming like this is different in a good way. Also always loved his instrumentals with Joe
Thank you for this. I’m at a point in my life where I needed. Very inspirational. Might have actually saved a band that was almost defunct. Canty rules and the film makers deserve all the flowers. Thanks again. Me gusta
Was lucky enough to see them at Fort Reno just before they stopped playing entirely. I really hope they unite for one last tour ! Would love to see them again !!
He talks about how scoring films really helped him out. And as mentioned, never signed to a major label, split everything evenly. Though I think Fugazi made less than people realize.
None of it has any guidebook, I think. I believe the DIY mindset is the most powerful way to make your way in the world. And somehow he's done it.@@whitelakeofficial
Fugazi sold a lot of records, believe it or not, and all through Dischord. Brendan also bought his house back in the late 90’s (twenty-seven years ago), so it was significantly less expensive than what I imagine it’s worth (and what it’s cost) these days or insanely inflated real estate and housing scarcity.
I absolutely LOVE that he owns that house, has 4 kids, and has the same kind of belly I'm just starting to grow. Inspiring.
What a sweet guy and absolute legend and monster on the drums.
One of the best drummers ever 😊
Amen!
Really? What planet u on...

Greetings from somewhere in Mexico City
Love how lowkey this was, and how down to earth Brendan is.
Thanks! Definitely wanted it to feel like he was just inviting you into his house to chat.

Thank you for this catch up with Brendan #1. So many amazing personal photos (especially Guy’s yearbook photo, priceless).

Absolutely the best part of Fugazi and all his other projects. Fantastic musician.
Thanks for putting this together. What a wonderful spirit this man has. Great band. Clever guy.

Loved this, so wholesome. As time goes on, I'm a bigger Fugazi fan & I loved them back in the day.
I wish i could have the opportunity to thank this guy for the experience he gave me at the mc50 tour
Great musician and a wonderful guy.
Awesome thank you for sharing this! 🙏
Great interview. Thanks for sharing.
Was lucky enough to see them at Fort Reno just before they stopped playing entirely. I really hope they unite for one last tour ! Would love to see them again !!
I believe that was their last US show. Must've been an amazing experience.
Great interview! Nice to learn about how Brendan’s been keeping busy between Fugazi & the Messthetics.
I went to school with you at Wilson and Fort Reno. So nice to see you now.
This was so good. Thank you.
This is TRULY wonderful. Thank you.
This was great, thanks!
Brendan would be the best neighbor ever.
His Burn to Shine film series is phenomenal.
Love this interview... Brendan #1!! We need a month in DC with him :-)
A month in DC could be spent with many punk legends! I certainly would love that.
One of the best. This was great 👍👍
One of the most influential drummers of all time.
Beautiful. I love it.
Class act. I got to bump into him a few times when I was in a band in DC in the aughts. One of the best drummers of all time. Glad he is still active.
Pure powerhouse drummer.
This is so great, one of my favourite drummers ever 🙌🏽
Love The Messthetics
Always always loved your drumming 🙏

Punx don't die we just stand in the back.

Haven't deleted any comments!
His brother James rules as well.
That bell on his kit is iconic
Definitely. Nation of Ulysses, Make*Up, French Toast, etc.

8:00 in 1981, $250 would be the equivelant of about $875 in November 2024's spending power after adjusting for inflation
u can have give Guy, his stage persona na na na, chewing the scenery a lil bit histrio
How did those guys make any money to be able to buy a house?

Brendan Canty, Super Cool, Great Drummer, Great Guy. Last saw him drum with Bob Mould, and got to shake his hand.
