A few months later, with The Public's first show already booked, bassist Ryan Plattsmier joined just in time to complete the group before they hit the stage. An EP was self-released shortly afterwards titled We Are The Public and the band has since played many successful shows in their hometown of New Orleans and around the U.S.
Saturn Missile Battery, their independently produced first full-length, was released March 2005. Look for a new full-length from five03, No Love Is Permanent later this year!
November 11, 2008 - Remembering Ryan
It is with great sadness that we at five03 mourn the loss of our friend and The Public bassist, Ryan Plattsmier. Ryan was a friend to all who met him and an extremely talented musician who would go out of his way to never let you know it. He was quiet and self effacing off stage and took a compliment worse than anyone I know. On stage and on record however, his playing spoke for itself, at once beautifully melodic and grounded. In a band of big personalities with a sound always ready to spin out of control, Ryan held the center like a dog with a bone. The first time that I met him he was recovering from nearly cutting off a finger. An injury that would have grounded most bass players indefinitely seemed to be a mere annoyance to him. He was that guy... the one who literally played though the pain. We miss you Ryan. Rest in peace. Ryan passed on October 29. He was 31.
February 29, 2008 - The Public joins five03!
five03 is excited to welcome The Public to our roster. We will be releasing their first official full-length, No Love Is Permanent later this year. Stay tuned!
