        JULY 19,
2010 - It was only a matter of time before things started to get a
little artsy here at ROCKWIRED. Back in my art school days in Santa Fe,
New Mexico, I remember being introduced to the photographic art of one
ANDRES SERRANO, thanks to my roommate who happened to be a
photography major. The one piece that stood out for me just so happened
to be SERRANO's most famous and controversial photograph entitled 'PISS
CHRIST' in which a small plastic crucifix is submerged in a glass of
Mr. SERRANO's very own urine. Year after being introduced to his
stunning and provocative portfolio, ANDRES SERRANO has now embraced a
whole new artistic medium - music. Under the moniker of
BRUTUS FAUST, SERRANO goes through the past darkly on his debut CD
'VENGEANCE IS MINE' with quirky - even demonic - renditions of music
from that most exciting and tumultuous period in pop music - the1960's.
With backing from the eclectic NYC based rock collective BLOW UP
HOLLYWOOD and producer STEVE MESSINA, SERRANO's whiskey and cigarette
charred vocals menacingly growl the lyrics of all too familiar
compositions such as CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL's 'BAD MOON RISING',
THE TEMPTATIONS' 'IT WAS JUST MY IMAGINATION' and KETTY LESTER's
plaintive soul ballad classic 'LOVE LETTERS' . Not everything in
'VENGEANCE IS MINE' is a love letter to the pop music atmosphere that
surrounded SERRANO forty years ago. Of the original material on the
album, 'GOO GOO GAGA is a reggae-fied howler that darkly illustrates
what hard economic times do to the soul.YOU CAN

 ABOUT THE HOST:  BRiAN
LUSH (PROGRAM
PRODUCER / HOST)BRIAN
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.
From January 2005 to March 2009, LUSH was the host of the weekly
internet radio
show ROCKWIRED LIVE. He produced the program for the AMERICAN RADIO
NETWORK. As
the editor-in-chief for ROCKWiRED MAGAZiNE, 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 (but to a significantly lesser
degree).
“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.”
