About Me

Commercial Interruption formed as a side project of "Sunnyside" a New Haven based cover band playing mostly clubs and college mixers. John, Don Glenn,Paul & Carl created volumes of original music on reel to reel tapes. Playing only one gig as Commercial Interruption the band members went their separate ways... In September ’06 Paul, Glenn, Carl and John all agreed to reunite for a informal Jam session in the former Mansion recording studios in West Haven, CT. We called on Don to add bass. They liked what they heard and plans were made rehearse and book some gigs. ..
