JOE LALLY
8 p.m., Vino’s. $8 adv./$10 d.o.s.
Joe Lally is probably the third most famous member of Fugazi, the
most famous DIY band ever (which is to say, in relatively small
circles). In the four years since Fugazi began its indefinite hiatus,
the bassist has occupied himself with a burgeoning solo career.
Anchored by slow, loping bass lines, Lally’s music is contemplative
and, despite the pace and soft vocals, often urgent. On tour almost
continuously since 2006, Lally will be backed on Thursday by Ricardo
Lagomasino and Andrea Moscianese. His tour mate of late is Edie
Sedgwick, a D.C.-based transgendered electro-pop artist with a mean
celebrity obsession and a penchant for using video accompaniment. The
Reds, the finest bass-player-led band in our neck of the woods (and
probably yours, too), open the show with a spare, hook-heavy set of
pop-rock.
