Clint Conley’s early 1980s Boston rock band Mission of Burma had a second incarnation in the 2000s that had the band touring widely abroad and playing large music festivals.
By Brett Peruzzi Managing Editor CONCORD – Clint Conley, a senior producer for WCVB Boston’s award-winning “Chronicle” newsmagazine television program, has had not one, but two stints as a member of an acclaimed alternative rock band. The 67-year-old Concord resident played bass, sang, and wrote songs for Mission of Burma, a Boston band that came to prominence in the city’s eclectic rock music scene in 1979. Mission of Burma gigged relentlessly in nightclubs and became wellknown for its frenetic live performances and highly original style, mostly in the Boston area but also in New York City. College radio stations like MIT’s WMBR and Emerson College’s WERS played its music regularly, as did some commercial stations. Clint Conley | 10
