Biography
[a251800] (often referred to as G.I.) was a punk rock band from Washington, D.C., active from 1980 to 1989. The group began as a hardcore punk band but gradually incorporated more melodic and alternative rock influences over time. Vocalist [a454908] was the only constant member throughout the band’s existence, while original drummer [a454909] played from 1980 until 1986. [a454906], who initially joined as bassist in 1981 before switching to guitar, remained with the band until their breakup. [a289257], who played guitar with the group from 1981 through 1982, and the final bassist, [a323329], joined in 1986 and stayed until the end. The band reunited briefly for shows in 2007 and 2010, though there were no plans for a full-time reformation. In 2014, [a251800] performed another reunion show featuring three-quarters of the Legless Bull lineup, performing songs from that EP as well as their 1980 demo. Following those shows, G.I. continued with a new lineup into 2015, further celebrating the band’s catalog and legacy. Frontman [a454908] passed away in May 2016 after a battle with stomach cancer, marking the end of an era for one of Washington, D.C.’s most influential punk bands.
