On this day in 1969 the BEATLES released the album ABBEY ROAD. So in commeration of that lets play some covers of those songs that are all ingrained in our collective music memory bank. Some fun facts and stories will be told as well since after all, it was ABBEY ROAD, that saw the BEATLES for the last time together in the studio.
I was about to write something that conveyed how much I look forward to this episode while providing some background on our guest, but he did a much better job than I could have at explaining things in an email sent to fans this past July. Good news! You can catch his live set a few hours later at Witch Room in Sacramento in support of Two Sheds. -Danny

In 2006, 07 and 08 I played bass and sang in Oakland indie-folk band Port O'Brien. You might remember our song "I Woke Up Today"; it was a crazy and fun sing-along and during our shows we invited the audience to shout with us and bang on a bunch of pots and pans we'd drag on stage in a wooden box. Here I am in the video for the song; I'd like to note that I broke my toe during the shoot (at least it was for a good cause).

JUSTIN COX is your host for this week. Brand New is an alternative rock band from Long Island, New York. Formed in 2000, the band currently consists of vocalist/guitarist/lyricist Jesse Lacey, guitarist/vocalist/lyricist Vincent Accardi, bassist Garrett Tierney, and drummer Brian Lane.
In the late 1990s, Jesse Lacey, Garrett Tierney, and Brian Lane were all members of the band The Rookie Lot. They eventually split off from the other members of the group, and in 2000 formed Brand New in Merrick, New York.The band signed to Triple Crown Records and in 2001 released their debut studio album, Your Favorite Weapon. Their second album, Deja Entendu, was released in 2003 and marked a stylistic change for the band. The album's first two singles, "The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows" and "Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades", both received airplay on MTV2 and Fuse TV, entering the top 40 on the United Kingdom Singles Chart. Deja Entendu was eventually certified gold in the United States.
Sometimes young talent needs a little polishing, but in the case of singer/songwriter CASEY GROAT he comes to us with a shine that begs to be heard. Casey enjoys a natural stage presence along with the tunes that he crafts. Picking away at his guitar shows us that young talent is worth more then a listen but worth our attention.
Join me for an hour with Casey.
