Ignition
Ignition, featuring Alec MacKaye and Chris Bald (both ex-Faith), Dante Ferrando (Gray Matter) and Chris Thomson (ex-Soul Side) , played their first show in the spring of 1987 at d.c. space in Washington, DC. Ignition played for a couple of years and toured extensively in that time, including a long European trip, making them one of the first Dischord bands to play overseas. Their shows were chaotic and unpredictable, with one ending before the band had finished even a single song after Chris Bald smashed his guitar and amp in a fit of frustration. This is possibly the shortest set ever played by a DC band. Ignition released two albums and several 7"s, all of which were culled onto one CD, "Complete Services," released on Dischord in 1994.
