Bio
.. ..the public.. .. .. .. .... .. The Public T-Shirts printed on American Apparel S M L or Girl sizes $17 PPD .... Free ..NOLA Indie Rock Compilation.. (Robots Are Mean) while supplies last!!.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..the public was formed.. in 2003 by drummer bryan besse and guitarist jack champagne with the singular goal of creating the band they wanted to listen to. singer/guitarist travis shuler soon joined the lineup and the trio began working on a few songs inspired by 60's pop, 70's glam, 80's uk goth/postpunk, and 90's britpop. a few months later, with the public's first show already booked, bassist ryan plattsmeir joined just in time to complete the group before it hit the stage. an ep/demo (we are the public) was released soon afterward and the band has since played many successful shows in their hometown of New Orleans and around the U.S. The Public has independently produced and released an ep/demo, and a full length "saturn missile battery". In August of 2007 they signed with NYC based indie Five03 records and their next recording, "No Love Is Permanent" is due 2009. The band's name, "the public", is trademarked internationally (serial number 78853015) as a performing and recording artist licensed to the four members. .. .. ...... ..
