Friday, October 19: Throwback featuring The Public
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 independantly 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 Spring, 2008.
More about Throwback
Throwback is the new Friday night party for the live music crowd with
Damion Yancy playing 80s, 90s, and contemporary indie. Throwback is an
indie rock house party – 80s/90s decore, original Nintendo games and
80s movies on the big screen, three free arcades. The drinks are cheap,
the music is fun, and the atmosphere is completely laid-back. Dress to
be trendy, dress to be retro, dress to be you. Local indie bands perform every few weeks and play a few 80s/90s covers in the spirit of the night.
