16-year-old Justin Bieber's appearance on Saturday Night Live brought us a slew of emails. Not only has this kid obviously been watching our hairstyles and dance moves (if anyone has seen Sam move during our "Black Ice," you know what we're talking about -- they both do that same floor slide and wave to the crowd), now he's come up with the same chorus refrain as ours in "Baby, Baby, Baby."
Cool, though, how he follows his "baby, baby, baby" with "no!" He's a step behind us, sure, but that's a very happening addition. Listen for it in our upcoming renditions of our version.
Like any band, The Public Good is a group of people that forms around music making. This group isn’t limited to the people holding instruments; it embraces all involved. This blog records and riffs on this involvement.
The Public Good’s live shows in and out of the District of Columbia have developed a cult following intrigued by the band's special mix of heart-pounding rock-n-roll, brain-wrenching IQ quizzes, and occasional costume dramas.
John Elderkin (guitar) and Steve Ruppenthal (bass) lead songwriting and vocals, and the band is rounded out on stage by literary genius Sam Esquith on guitar/keyboards/tambourine, and the supremely talented roaming percussionist Chris Garges (Mitch Easter band, etc.) on drums.
