about
There have been at least four groups named Institute. A rock band fronted by Gavin Rossdale, now split-up, and a currently active post-punk band from Austin, Texas, Yugoslavian experimental world music collective. As well as one from Savannah, active from 1997 to 2007. (1) Institute was a Sludge Ambient band from Savannah, Georgia. First appearing on Fish Fur Records with the album 13 Planets, Institute was quickly linked up to Yellow Dog Records, a hardcore punk label from Berlin Germany. Institute released Two Shadows and The Piano Player, two albums within the years of 2002 and 2005 with Yellow Dog. In 2006 another band appeared out of nowhere with not only the same name, but a very similar logo. Legally nobody can say anything other than Institute - Savannah were very happy to change their name for future releases, though all past releases are still in print and available from stores, distros, and mail orders worldwide. Institute continued under various monikers until 2007, when the band had officially become 10 years old, and has now vanished into a slew of other projects. band members: David Rapp - synthesizer guitars, vocals Kyle Kellogg- guitars Ben Dean - samples Sanders Creasey - guitars Chris Christ - guitars Jason Bradshaw - bass guitar album releases: 1999 - 13 Planets (album) CD - Fish Fur Records 2001 - Sleep (compilation album) CD - Fish Fur Records 2002 - Two Shadows (album) CD/LP - Yellow Dog Records 2005 - The Piano Player (Institute album) - Yellow
