Joe Lally (from FUGAZI - full band show) + Don Zientara

Joe Lally has played bass in Fugazi since their inception in 1987. In 2003 the members of Fugazi decided to take an indefinite hiatus from recording and performing. Since that time Joe has continued to write and perform solo material in collaboration with various musicians and friends.

"There to Here" was recorded both at Inner Ear Studios by Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara and at the Dischord House by Ian MacKaye. The album features Lally's spare and direct bass compositions with contributions from Jason Kourkounis (Hot Snakes, Delta 72, etc.), Jerry Busher (French Toast), Danny Frankel (KD  Lang), Eddie Janney (Rites of Spring, One Last Wish), Guy Picciotto (Fugazi), Ian Mackaye (The Evens, Fugazi), Amy Farina (The Evens), Scott "Wino" Weinrich (Spirit Caravan, Hidden Hand) and Antonia Tricarico.

Joe has been playing regional east coast dates in the US with Don Zientara, toured in Italy and will be touring the states with Antelope in the fall of 2006.

Don Zientara, owner of the legendary Inner Ear Studios, is no stranger to Washington D.C.'s punk and alternative scene. Over the years Zientara has produced and engineered many of Washington's most widely recognized and acclaimed bands including Fugazi, Minor Threat, and Rites of Spring.
