1) For a ‘social experiment’ the PLB wanted to see how long if would take to get permanently kicked off the LSU Campus for playing FREE live music. Answer – it took 2 semesters to get booted off the campus of the “Ragin Cajuns”.

2) They are one of the only bands in New Orleans Jazz Fest history to be invited to play in less then a year of their existence. They stole the show.

3) More has been written about The PLB in their short 3 year history than probably any other band from Louisiana. Check out their press links at bottom of this page

4) The PLB’s have inspired an impressive array of phrases to describe them and what they do:
“unabashed rock ’n’ roll energy”, “exuberant passion”, “wrenching emotion”, “Rowdy dancing”, “whoops of excitement”, “sense of communal inebriation”, “revelation of anarchy and reverence”

5) One look at their 2007 Schedule is both extraordinary and dizzying at the same time, including a sick amount of time in Europe:

6) The PLB’s really must love each other because not only do they incessantly tour together, but they all live together in the same quaint shack in Lafayette LA, as stone’s throw from the LSU campus where they have been banned.

7) The PLB’s take them selves far too seriously - http://www.pineleafboys.com/archives.html
