Ian MacKaye at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music

Ian MacKaye is one of the most important and uncompromising independent musicians of the last thirty years, Ian MacKaye has founded two influential bands (Minor Threat and Fugazi) and a landmark record label (Dischord Records). Throughout his career, MacKaye has kept his attention squarely on his fan base and on the musicians who wish to follow in his footsteps - since founding Dischord in 1980 he has personally mentored many of the label's signees, and has made a longstanding policy of selling every Dischord release for a retail price point of $10.
