Description:

New York City's Burnside Project released "The Networks, The Circuits, The Streams, The Harmonies" on Bar/None Records, mixing indie rock guitar and sensibilities with electronic dance music beats and aspirations.

The band had an interesting year in 2003 as they begin work on their next CD. In addition to having their song "Cue the Pulse to Begin" featured in the opening sequence of the Jackie Chan film "The Medallion," they were also nominated by Cameron Crowe for the Long List. They've also have just had their CD picked up for release in Japan, and have been approached by several advertising agencies to produce music for commericals.

I met with Richard Jankovich, Gerald Hammill, and Paul Searing on Manhattan's West Side to discuss what musical and lyrical influences the band is melding together, how the collaboration process is changing for their upcoming third CD, and how they got Rick Moody, author of "The Ice Storm," to write the liner notes to their second CD.

At the end of the interview, we'll also hear the full performance of "Bravo Bravura," a new and as-yet-unreleased song from Burnside Project, giving some clues about their next direction.
