Video Tiny Vipers playing in Burn to Shine, Seattle
posted by on January 16 at 13:53 PM
Burn to Shine’s manifesto goes like this:
1) Gather local bands on one day to play live in a house or building that is going to be destroyed. 2) Each band plays one song and performs their song twice. 3) No overdubs. 4) Film the building’s destruction. 5) Edit and display in chronological order. 6) That is all.
Burn to Shine (produced by Brendan Canty, directed by Christoph Green) came to Seattle last year with Benjamin Gibbard (of Death Cab for Cutie) curating the event that featured performances by Harvey Danger, Blue Scholars, Eddie Vedder, Minus the Bear, Dave Bazan, Spook the Horse and many more local artists. The DVD will be released on February 19th, but Sub Pop just released this clip of Tiny Vipers’s performance. It’s really gorgeous.
Some day the Cooper-Hewitt will look at all the Burn to Shine videos and think: that is such a simple, genius idea that it needs to be in our museum. This Richard Prince video is oddly similar and expresses some of the same sentiments that make Burn to Shine interesting: http://www.vbs.tv/player.php?bctid=1213949991&bccl=MTIxMzg3NTEzMF9fRVRD
