===Fugazi=== {{main|Fugazi}} In 1987, MacKaye founded [[Fugazi]], a band that has been cited as one of the most important post-hardcore groups.<ref name="Perlah, Jeff 2002"/> Fugazi set itself apart from most other bands by never playing a show with high-priced tickets. They would often turn down venue options for this very rule, and the band would go so far as to stop a show and have unruly concert goers escorted out of the venue β complete with a refund of their ticket money. The band famously turned down at least one offer to headline Lollapalooza because festival organizers refused to price tickets cheaply; MacKaye objected to the $30 ticket price. MacKaye also has never conducted an interview with ''Rolling Stone'' magazine or any other similar publication, stating he would only do so if the magazine agreed to not advertise cigarettes or alcohol.<ref>{{cite web|last=S.|first=George|title=Long distance runner: The private and public evolution of Ian Mackaye|url=http://leoweekly.com/music/sight-unsound/long-distance-runner-the-private-and-public-evolution-ian-mackaye|publisher=Leo Weekly|access-date=October 11, 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120114124642/http://leoweekly.com/music/sight-unsound/long-distance-runner-the-private-and-public-evolution-ian-mackaye|archive-date=January 14, 2012|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
