Awesome Native Rock Bands from the '70s and '80s

Co-hosts of Native Sounds-Native Voices Tobias (Omaha, Dakota, Navajo, and Cherokee) and Aden (Rosebud) realized that the '70s and ‘80s produced a lot of Native rock n roll bands. So we figured why not feature a playlist with these artists on the show. We found some good music that is still cool to play on the radio today! Unlike some of those one hit wonders from the ‘70s and ‘80s, Natives understood what it takes to make great music. This was a fun show and we enjoyed playing these songs. As a child of the ‘80s I (Tobias) feel as though a lot good music came from the ‘80s. It was the ‘80s when Mtv was the channel to watch the hottest new music videos. We should all go to the video store and rent Back to the Future right now. But if you can’t make it then please enjoy this playlist of Native rock n roll bands. Also listen to the live broadcast of NS-NV Thursday mornings from 8 - 10 a.m. C.D.T. on the web at KZUM.org or AIROS.org.
