Alternate meanings: Fugazi (disambiguation).
Fugazi is a rock music group from Washington, D.C., formed in 1987 (see 1987 in music). They are ranked number 95 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock".
The band name alludes to a Vietnam-era GI slang acronym for a particularly bad combat situation, which stands for "Fucked Up, Got Ambushed, Zipped In". In Our Band Could Be Your Life, the group reported that they chose the name because of its ambiguous and vaguely exotic qualities.
Perhaps just as well known as Fugazi's music is their ethical stance and manner of business practice.
