On this edition of BrokedownPod, we have Tom Malach, guitarist from the great band Garcia Peoples, joining us to talk about his band, their upcoming album, Natural Facts (available via Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records), and the Grateful Dead. These young guys bring a fresh ear to the two guitar indie rock sound, bending themes and melodies with a knowledgeable, psychedelic, intent. We've got some live stuff from one of their recent shows after the interview.

And after that, some terrific Grateful Dead.

Garcia Peoples like to play live and always have shows on deck. Coming up, they hit the road with LA Dead-cover jammers Grateful Shred for a number of shows.
