DAVE VON
BECK OF STRAW
DOGS
AND CUTS FROM THEiR FORTHCOMiNG ALBUM NO DiViDiNG LiNE
Hailing
from Seattle - a town known for it's distorted guitars sounds - STRAW
DOGS has built a career out of unplugging the guitars and
letting the songs speak for themselves. However on their last outing -
2009's LOVE AND THEN HOPE, the
band evolved into a four man electric band built around the earnest
compositions of DAVE VON BECK and DARREN SMITH. After four long years
STRAW DOGS is on the verge of releasing their follow up album NO
DIVIDING LINE (which will be available July 9, 2013) and once again,
the band lets songcraft shine in place of flashy soundbites concocted
in a studio. This time around VON BECK is joined by guitarists JEFF
FIELDER, and SCOTT BECKER, bassist BOB DIEHM, and drummer
CASEY MILLER and presence of these ace players makes NO DIVIDING LINE
the perfect marriage of raw , acoustic Americana and
electricity. Beautiful stuff!

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. 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."
