In his write-up of our upcoming Ft. Reno show (June 28), the Washington City Paper's Jon Fischer mentioned that our new disc reminds him of the dBs -- one of North Carolina's greatest rock bands. High praise indeed. Thanks, Jon.
Fwiw, here's the GREAT video for the dBs song "Amplifier" -- enjoy:
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.
