Fugazi Covers Project: Musicians Wanted

Christina DaCosta (whom you may know from Man In Gray), Phil Rosenbloom, Jeffry Opdyke, and Michael Sowiski have formed a team called “The Rims” that will be participating in a 275 mile bike tour called Braking The Cycle that will take place to benefit HIV/AIDS services provided by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center of New York City.

To help raise money for their team’s efforts, the Rims are organizing a Fugazi covers project that has been given the full blessing of the seminal punk band. Anyone can participate and to to do so, all you have to do is get in touch with the group through the project’s website:

http://fugazicoversproject.wordpress.com/

For more information about the project, visit their FAQ and to see which songs have already been claimed, go here. We already see a number of local musicians taking part, including Gold Streets, Cholo, and members of Zero Spanish and The Song Corporation.

Photos: Abigail Warchild at Hot Rocks

Abigail Warchild plays straight-ahead, heavy-hitting rock. There’s perhaps a certain grungy edge to their music, but they’re no early nineties Seattle kickback. They’re doing their own thing and they’re doing it extremely well. They put on one hell of a live show at last weekend’s Hot Rocks Party at The Delancey. Here are some photos, with more available on Flickr:

Abigail Warchild will be playing the ASCAP showcase in Austin during SXSW on March 12th. They’ll be back in Brooklyn, playing at Matchless on March 29th and at Luna Lounge on April 26th. Check out their MySpace for more info.

The next Hot Rocks Party is Saturday, April 5th at The Dalancey and features El Jezel, Rowboats, and Zero Spanish.
