2010 - I picked an interesting time to start listening to THE MATT
BURKE BAND's new album 'PRETTY CLOSE TO VERY GOOD'. The country is
currently moving in a different direction politically (for better or
worse), the weather is getting colder and we're still in a recession. I
say that it's strange because 'PRETTY CLOSE TO VERY GOOD' boasts an
easy-going, laid-back acoustic sound that brings to mind a never ending
beach party with such pleasantly grooving tunes as THE WEEKEND WAR,
SUPERSTAR, and FADING FACES. Singer-songwriters with a laid back
appraoch are a dime a dozen but MATT BURKE's bright melodies and sunny
outlook was hard won after having shaken off the shackles of his
cyncal, nu-metal past. With "PRETTY CLOSE..." BURKE and the band have
found their footing and it's a hell of a lot better than pretty good.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.”
