Brendan Canty starts Burn To Shine DVD series with Ted Leo, The Evens, Bob Mould

The Tripwire is reporting that Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty has created a DVD series to help promote notable rock bands from various cities. The series will be titled Burn To Shine, and will feature a selection of artists from different city on each release. Each band involved will perform one song, but the location of the taping must be an empty house that faces imminent destruction.

Canty explained to Billboard, "I thought it would be great to catch these bands doing whatever they were doing on that day. I said, 'just show up and do whatever you're interested in right now.' Using a house that was going to be destroyed basically marks it in time forever."

The first DVD is expected to be released on January 20th and will feature Ted Leo, Ian Mackaye's new band The Evens, and former Husker Du frontman Bob Mould. Other cities slated for tapings include Chicago, Portland, New York and San Diego. You should be able to find more info on TrixieDVD.com soon.
