THE ELECTRiFYiNG BLUES ROCK OF THE PLATEROS AND MUSiC FROM THROUGHOUT iNDiAN COUNTRY  JUNE 2,
2011 - The Tohajiilee Navajo Reservation ain’t exactly ground zero
when it comes to the latest thing in music but for eighteen year old
singer and
guitar slinger LEVI PLATERO, it is home ad the source of inspiration
behind the
music that he performed with his band THE PLATEROS. Tohajiilee may be a
curious
launching ground for a rock band but when one takes a gander at how far
THE
PLATEROS have come in a reasonable amount of time, one is left
wondering what is
in the water besides uranium. I’ve interviewed some personalities in my
time n
I’ve also interviewed some low-key individuals. LEVI PLATERO has got to
be one
of the most unassuming front men that I’ve ever come across. Even
though our
interview was conducted over the phone, I could sense that my
interviewee was
nervously looking to the ground as he quietly recounted the genesis of
his band
and the projected course of his musical evolution. Hell, I was the one
that had
to point out the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that his band received
when
they took part in the NATIVE MUSIC ROCK tour across the country. The
band
earned invaluable touring experience while sharing the stage with the
likes of
DEREK MILLER, KEITH SECOLA, MICKI FREE and MARTHA REDBONE on a nightly
basis.
If that wasn’t enough, LEVI and his band have stormed the Millenium
Stage at
the ADVERTiSEMENT

LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn't
looked back
since. He is currently the host of all of ROCKWIRED.COM's programming
which includes such shows as ROCKWIRED RADIO PROFILES and ROCKWIRED
FREE FORM RADIO. As
program producer for ROCKWiRED.COM, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED's
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."CONTACT
