THE BEST OF ROCKWiRED RADiO PROFiLES PRESENTS:
THE EDGY ROCK SOUND OF RiCK SHAFFER
AND HiS EQUALLY EDGY CD  'HiDDEN CHARMS' http://www.rockwired.com/hiddencharmscd.jpg
AUGUST 5, 2011 - Since 2010, singer,guitarist and one half of the electronic rock duo THE REDS - RICK SHAFFER has thrown himself into a couple of solo recordings that run the gamut of neo sixties garage rock with the occassional excursion into R.L. BURNSIDE-styled territory. Hovering on top of this sound is SHAFFER's haunting vocals - an oil and water mixture of IGGY POP and VELVET UNDERGROUND-era LOU REED. The first of these recordings - 2010's NECESSARY ILLUSION - boasted a raw swirl of distorted guitar, atmospheric percussion and stark droning hill country blues. His latest release HIDDEN CHARMS expands on the template established by NECESSARY ILLUSION with steady hypnotic beats and percussion and intensely personal lyrical content.

   ABOUT THE HOST:
http://www.rockwired.com/brian.JPGBRIAN 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."
