'''Joe Lally''' (born [[December 3]], [[1963]] in [[Silver Spring, Maryland]]) is a [[bass guitar]] player, primarily known for his work with [[Fugazi (band)|Fugazi]]. He has also contributed occasional lyrics and vocals to Fugazi songs. He has worked with [[John Frusciante]] and [[Josh Klinghoffer]] on the album ''Automatic Writing'' as the group [[Ataxia (band)|Ataxia]]. In early [[2002]], Lally joined ex-Frodus members Shelby Cinca and Jason Hamacher on a project originally called The Black Sea, which would change its name to [[Decahedron (band)|Decahedron]] and release an EP and an album before Lally left the band.
In 2006, Mr. Lally was playing solo shows on bass with slight laptop accompaniment in various college towns. The songs appear to be originals and have a socio-political bend.
In 2007, he toured the U.S. with the Philadelphia band [[Capillary Action]] and Europe and Japan with the Italian band [[Zu (band)|Zu]].
Lally's first solo album, ''[[There to Here]]'', was released in the fall of [[2006]]. It features [[Jerry Busher]], [[Ian MacKaye]], [[Amy Farina]], [[Guy Picciotto]], and many others of the DC music scene.
On [[May 29]], [[2007]] Lally's side project band [[Ataxia (band)|Ataxia]] released their much awaited second album ''[[AW II]]'', which features Joe Lally on bass once again.
His second solo album, ''[[Nothing Is Underrated]]'', was released in November of 2007.
