KTVU.com Steve Burns July 23, 2004 Source Actor and co-creator of the children's television program 'Blue's Clues' Steve Burns probably could have rode the success of the program for decades, but instead Burns had himself written out of the show and has bravely embarked on a new career in music. Working with Flaming Lips drummer Steve Drozd, bassist Michael Ivins and noted producer (and frequent Lips collaborator Dave Fridmann) gave Burns some instant indie credibility, but the tunes he recorded on his debut record 'Songs For Dustmites' prove that Blue's old pal has plenty of talent at his disposal. The 2003 album scored unanimously positive reviews, leaving critics wondering what else the actor-turned-rocker might have up his sleeve. Burns will be joined at this Bottom of the Hill show by a local songwriter Kelly Stoltz, who has garnered solid reviews of his own with a brand of home-recorded psychedelia. Stoltz's debut effort 'Past Was Faster' has garnered comparisons to such outsider icons as Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits and Syd Barrett. James Leste and DJ Ted E. Bear will also be appearing.
