Members of The New Standards led past lives in groups like the Suburbs, Semisonic, and Billygoat. On their latest album, "Rock and Roll," the trio's rock chops fuel unplugged and jazzy covers of songs by Elvis Costello, Britney Spears and the Clash. They join us to perform live.

i really don't get "the new standards." seems like a really bad cover band. doesn't sound at all like jazz, just bad soft rock or something. i don't know maybe i missed something...
That was totally random and fun funky!
What great guests!
On the theme of today's show. Chan's old band the Suburbs was my first real rock show, and John's band Trip Shakespeare was my first live rock band obsession. I've still seen them more than any other, 15 years on.
Cheers!
I LOVE the New Standards!! Thank you for having them on the show!!
