[Photo by acidjack] Charles Burst began his set with most of us imagining we were in for a beautiful evening of DIY rooftop music that benefited a good cause, specifically UNWRA and the Free Gaza Movement . Indeed, Burst's laid-back country and blues inspired songs provided a perfect backdrop to a breezy summer evening on the 210 Cook St rooftop... until the NYPD decided to shut down the party. Fortunately, Burst managed to finish most of his set of finely crafted, timeless American rock n' roll. Burst is an accomplished producer/engineer and [...]
aus brooklyn stammt charles burst , der sich zu ende juli anschickt, ein zweites album auf den markt zu bringen. wem der name nichts sagt, sei getröstet, in der regel, weiß man nicht so genau, wie die drummer anzusprechen sind. denn bis dato hatte sich burst bei the occasion hinter der schießbude vergnügt. doch irgendwann reichte es ihm wohl nicht, den anderen nur den takt anzugeben. er ist ein songwriter und muss die eigenen ideen und anschauungen an den mann bringen. das zeug dazu hat er. denn wer wollte nicht folgen, wenn die melodien [...]

I like Ernest Jenning's taste. They've signed my homeboy Chris Mills, are pushing O'death onto an unsuspecting public and now they've signed and will soon release the solo record from ex-Occasion drummer Charlie Burst . His brawny singer-songwriter style is usually not my style, but I'll take EJ's word that this will be a good release. The new record and Charlie's debut doesn't have a release date yet but is titled Come Home and Feast . The first song released is called "Bars". Charlie Burst has a strange vocal presence (almost spooky, [...]
