The band formed in high school, and the friendship at the core of PUBLIC was visible in their performance, with high energy throughout their set and a passion for music shining clear. Still, it is encouraging to see that her client has got back on the horse, and suggestions are encouraged as to whose shilling he'll take next.PUBLIC, a rock-pop band consisting of lead singer John Vaughan, bass and synth player Matt Alvarado, and drummer Ben Lapps, opened for American Authors and Magic Giant at Webster Hall at the final show of their Band of Brothers tour. You can only say, "Oh, it's not me, it's all down to the promoter," if that's what you'd have said had it been a roaring success. She was apparently unable to comprehend that if you allow a festival to be called "Alex James Presents" – presumably in the hope of critical praise and a healthy payday – you must take the rough with the smooth, and accept some criticism when it all goes tits up and contributors are left out of pocket.
Incidentally, the last time we touched on Alex, in connection with the festival he held on his Cotswolds estate last summer, the item drew an irate response from someone who admitted to being his agent. well, he'd like you to know that "backstage was brilliant".
"If you want to compete on the British high street in 2012 you have to be brilliant," Alex noted, before going on to reveal that: "My day with McDonald's was absolutely brilliant."īut what of his visit to the kitchens of some of the chains' branches? Poignantly, Alex seems unwilling to let go of his pretensions to cool, describing himself as "backstage at a KFC in Reading" (I do hope he was wearing an "Access All Fryers" laminate). Thus we learned that "Getting the chance to get the bonnet up and see how the Greggs machine ticks was brilliant". Charged with touring factories for Greggs and McDonald's and so on, Alex's prose style is that of a seven-year-old asked to relate the events of their weekend, crossed with Brilliant Kid from The Fast Show.
