Skewbald/Grand Union (commonly called Skewbald), was a hardcore punk band from the Washington, D.C. area founded by former Minor Threat members Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson.

[edit] Brief history

Skewbald/Grand Union recorded three songs in November, 1981, during Minor Threat's hiatus. They were finally released on MacKaye and Nelson's record label Dischord Records, in January, 1992. The band consisted of Ian MacKaye on vocals (who later formed Fugazi), guitarist Eddie Janney (who later joined Rites of Spring), bassist John Falls, and drummer Jeff Nelson. Their songs can be found on an eponymous one-sided 7" EP, Dischord #50, and on the 3-cd compilation album 20 Years of Dischord.
