Burn to Shine is a film series produced by Fugazi's Brendan Canty and directed by filmmaker Christoph Green. This first installment features live performances by Bob Mould, Ted Leo, Ian Mackaye's new band The Evens, Weird War (ex-Make Up), Q and Not U, Canty's band Garland of Hours, Medications (ex-Faraquet), and French Toast (featuring James Canty of Make Up, and Jerry Busher of Fugazi). Canty and crew traveled from town to town filming bands performing in houses about to be demolished or burned. They document the house, the bands, and the demolition, put it out on DVD and move on to the next town. The first installment took place on Jan.14th, in Bethesda, MD just before the house was burned by the fire department. It also contains a sequence of beautifully shot still photos of all the bands with outtakes and music. You can expect a new installment every six months from cities like Chicago, Portland, San Diego, and New York.
