En Public is a live record by notorious French rock band
Noir Désir. It was the first release by the band after
Noir Désir's frontman,
Bertrand Cantat, was incarcerated for four years after he drunkenly beat up his actress/girlfriend Marie Trentingnan, who died following the incident. The material for
En Public was recorded several years before the release, when the band toured in support of its
Des Visages des Figures album, released in 2001. The live album went straight to number one in France. ~ Sergey Mesenov
