On October 17th at One Eyed Jacks New Orleans’ post-punk/indie band, The Public, are releasing their first bit of new material in almost five years. When their debut for New York label Five03 Records, “No Love is Permanent”, became delayed for far too long by label problems and the tragic death of their Bassist, Ryan Plattsmier, it was decided to head to the Living Room Studio in Algiers to start anew and record some new material. The results of this summer’s work, “Keep Calm and Carry On” and “Chasing the Cops in Stolen Cars” are both set to be released in the next few months through Five03.
“Keep Calm and Carry On” features two songs written by the band while evacuated for Hurricane Gustav (“Keep Calm” and “Conclusion”) and their first collaboration with new bassist Ronan Bradley (“Vato”). The EP will be followed in the next few months by “Chasing the Cops in Stolen Cars.” The band’s full length “No Love is Permanent” is set to be released in February, and features the last work of Ryan Plattsmier.
Longtime friends of the band, The Tomatoes will open the show at 10pm. At Midnight, The Public will be followed by ActionActionReaction, the popular indie rock dance party started by DJ Elizabeth Christiansen, The Public’s singer Travis Shuler, and guitarist Jack Champagne and now features popular local DJ, Eugene Oubilette, who’s known for his work at FTPA (The Whirling Dervish) and Katamari Pharmacy (R-Bar). ActionActionReaction is monthly at the Circle Bar and has featured events at One Eyed Jacks, most recently ”The Dead Celebrity Ball” and “EASY: a 70’s porn style dance party”).
