Philosophical: Existentialism laces our lyrics. Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Greek mythology, Buddhism, Confucius, Lao Tzu, Upanishads and of course the Kama Sutra for lighter moods. Don Quixote always remains within reach. Who stole my dog-earred copy of Gogol?
Under the Influence of: fairly benign at this stage in life. Pilsner Urquell, a pint of English ale in a pub, Jack Daniels (Ja Mo), single malt Scotch (Da Ho), fine red wine but no booze for Kevin (he's the driver).
Secular: Shapes and curves dominate daydreams. Great cooking consumes evenings. JT programmes rhythms for dance tracks, which we prefer to keep secret. We advocate the destruction of televisions; death to the great vacuum! except when The Simpsons is on.

Billboard reviews "Worlds Away, Yards Apart"
"Starting with the Beatles but also the Small Faces and Squeeze, the troupe's 3rd release displays the same unaffected yet sophisticated leaning of its predecessors. It's a series of subtle delights that make for an understated but captivating whole."
Listen to songs from our new CD now!
We have posted She Was Mine, Worlds Away Yards Apart and Sangria Evening to give you a taste of our latest sound.
Hiding in Public is a pop-rock project driven by songwriter David Holland that features the extraordinary guitar playing and silky, soulful singing of Jamie Moses. Jamie is a legendary live and session player with a stellar list of achievements (Queen + Paul Rodgers, Mike & The Mechanics, Brian May Band, Paul Young, Bob Geldof). And what about the music?
Hiding in Public will delight your ears with classic snap, crackle, pop, rock. Their mature, thought provoking songs are loaded with radio-friendly hooks and retro twists that prove timely and timeless.
With John Tonks on drums (Neneh Cherry, Fish, Duran Duran, Paul Oakenfold), and Kevin Porée on bass and keyboards (Berry Street Studio), expect first class support and sound.
Our 2nd CD "What Lies Ahead" is available on iTunes and CD Baby!
Reviews of "What Lies Ahead" “Their sound is majestic and otherworldly … in the same vein as late career Eric Clapton, Hiding in Public manages to deliver a great tune after another great tune.” - Smother Magazine, Editor’s Pick
“This is good rock music and when you first hear it you like it. After the second or third spin, you love it! There are many catchy tunes on this CD. They see clearly the glamorous deceptions of modern life and confront them head on.” – MuzikReviews.com, Pick of the Week
“Caution: This CD is habit forming! When Jamie Moses’ extraordinary guitar playing is mixed in with the soul searching lyrics of David Holland you have a CD that will rapidly rise to the top! Look for this group to go big time.” – Steve Bingham, KRIM-FM
“Tracks like “Satellite” seem to be heavy in a tradition that includes acts like The Eagles and Bryan Adams … and it becomes catchier with each subsequent minute that the song runs. There is more than a small nod to Pink Floyd and The Beatles during “Things Will Never Be The Same”. They could be one of the premiere acts in what is a very difficult style to become successful in.” - NeuFutur
Hiding in Public's first CD "Silent Exchange" is available in its physical form on CD Baby and in its virtual form on numerous sites, including iTunes.

"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell."
