Brad Brock & The Renegades joined forces with the boys from the Hard Livin' Band, Millie & Friends and the staff of the Brahma Bull Restaurant to raise $4,500 for the victims of Hurricane Katrina on Sunday in Okeechobee, Florida. With great food and great entertainment, people came from all around to lend a hand and donate to our neighbors in need. The event featured an auction in which members of the Brahma Bull staff were individually auctioned off to be placed in the dunk tank. The highest bidder received the opportunity to dunk the staff member first. The weather was beautiful and everyone had a great time for a great cause. All proceeds of Sunday's event were donated to the victims. Thank you to everyone who came out and donated their time and money.

The first edition copies of the record will be sold at the band's concert on Saturday night at the Long Branch Saloon in Vero Beach, FL. It will become available for sale on this website sometime next month.
"This record really encompasses a lot of emotions that I've been feeling in my life over the last few years. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Randy Isbell, an extremely talented writer, to produce the "Think About It" and "Just So You Know" tracks on the album," says Brock about his latest release. "It took a really long time to get this record together. We had a lot of songs on the table and it was really hard to choose the final cuts, but all the songs were great so keep an eye out for a follow-up release a lot sooner than this one took to put out."
Brad & the band are extremely excited about the release and are looking forward to promoting it at their shows.

06.10.05 - "Brand new song, "Paris On Her Mind," released on bradbrock.com today!
"'Paris On Her Mind' is a story of a guy and a girl in a relationship where the girl wants to spread her wings, but she doesn't want to hurt the guy. The only thing is that the guy already knows what she's doing, so the song basically develops to the point where she leaves and the guy reveals that he's known all along. It's a really great piece, I'm very proud of it!", says Brad Brock about his latest recording. This song is scheduled to be released on the "Broke 'n Broken" album, but is available for preview on the MEDIA section of this webpage

05.17.05 - "Brad Brock's rock 'n roll project, Chronically Crosseyed, debuts music on myspace.com!"
With four years in the making, Brad Brock decided to finally create a myspace.com account to present the music of Chronically Crosseyed. The site contains four songs from the album "I", which has not yet been scheduled for a release date. "It was a time in my life where that music really hit the spot. The whole thing really summed up a lot of what I was feeling at the time," says Brad about Chronically Crosseyed 'I'. "There's some angry music on there, I was an angry guy then." he adds. Brad also mentioned that he wasn't sure if he was going to release the album by itself, but maybe in a box set of unreleased songs that he's written.
Chronically Crosseyed is an unusual brew of alternative rock and poetry describing life situations from a psychological stand point. It's dark, it's angry, and very different from Brock's poppy country songs. "It's a little bit of my history on a CD." says Brad.
