What/who are Burnshee - Thornside

Burnshee and Thornside first met in their teens, when they played in the club "Hard Pepper Funk Unit", on 8th street in N.Y. They both were about 18 and had there own bands. Burnshee had "The Lame Flames", playing rock with a touch of funk and Hendrix, and Thornside had a jazz ensemble playing Bebop and 60's cool jazz. The two bands started jamming after the shows, that's when Thornside, after a few beers, tried to sing. Burnshee liked what he heard and approached the young Thornside afterwards and asked them if they could play again, maybe try to form a new band, with Thornsides trumpet and singing together with Burnshees Hendrix guitar. Thornside didn't mind at all. And so it all began.
Alongside the gigs and touring they've written songs together. Now they've also started recording their best stuff. Their third album "Rock this moon" is just released. Burnshee says:
"Once again we've had pleasure playing with a lot of fine musicians. Hope y'all like the new CD as much as we do!"
