PRESENTS:
THE SOCiALLY CONSCiOUS SOUND OF THE WHEEL WORKERS AND THEiR NEW CD UNiTE 
FEBRUARY
24, 2012 - Following in the footsteps of socially-conscious artists
like THE CLASH, FUGAZI, and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, THE WHEEL WORKERS are
unafraid to proclaim progressive values deep in the heart in one of
America’s most conservative states. JEREMY HART of SPACE CITY ROCK
calls “The MOP” (the opening track of UNITE) “pretty freaking great,”
picturing THE WHEEL WORKERS as “a quirky protest-ragtime band that’d be
right at home marching on Wall Street, tubas and clarinets a-blazing,
gathering people behind them as they danced their way in to tear down
the financial giants.” Since the release of UNITE, THE WHEEL WORKERS
have played regularly around Texas, receiving airplay on local radio
stations, and opening for national touring acts such as MINIATURE
TIGERS, ELF POWER and THE COATHANGERS.

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
