The Public Good stormed... well, maybe that's not the right word with the apocalyptic rainstorms here in DC lately... including the rainout of our original date. Anyway, TPG took Fort Reno this past Monday night, and would like to thank both Dot Dash and The Black Sparks for a phenomenal night of rock. You can see more photos here at our Facebook page. If you took any pics, please share 'em with us, or if you would like to share some thoughts, please feel free to comment here at the blog or on our Facebook page. We'd especially like to hear from anyone who came out to see us for the first time. Special thanks to Amanda and Marty from the Fort Reno Crew!
A great night of rock by all the bands, and you sirs were on it. though I must confess I suspect that the Black sparks are actually robot children. I am working to confirm this theory.
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.
