This week, we are joined by musician, producer, composer, and filmmaker Brendan Canty (Fugazi, Rites Of Spring, The Messethics), who chose the wildly unexpected outlaw country documentary HEARTWORN HIGHWAYS to discuss. We also get to discuss the importance of his bands Rites Of Spring & Fugazi, Chris seeing Fugazi in a hippie cafeteria on their first tour, playing videogames with Elliott Smith, Brendan's Burn to Shine series that featured bands playing songs in a condemned house that was going to be burned down, Jem Cohen's film with Elliott Smith, the making of the Rites Of Spring LP, the gang mentality of bands, how his latest score is as if Greg Sage of The Wipers had used an orchestra, how growing up in the 80s country music was seen as the enemy, 70s Country's anti-establishment vibe, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clarke, David Allen Coe, Brendan’s youth on CB radio, Willie Nelson being turned away from being in this film, talented nerds, what it was like recording the Fugazi records at the Inner Ear Studio, Les Blank, big box VHS tapes, Key & Peele parodying Brendans’ music and so much more!
So put on that bejeweled belt buckle and let's tip our hat on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!!
