Burn to Shine (DVD series)

Burn to Shine is an ongoing series of music DVDs created by Trixie DVD, a collaboration between filmmaker Christoph Green and ex-Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty. The filmmakers select a house that is set to be demolished in a certain city and ask a member of a local band to curate the event. In one day they shoot all of the selected bands giving each band an hour to set up and perform with no overdubs or corrections. They document the house's history and subsequent demolition, creating bookends for the performances on the DVD. As of May 16, 2008, four volumes have been released. On March 2, 2016 Matador Records announced volume six, shot in Atlanta, would be available online on April 13th, 2016.
