The Golden Republic originally formed in 1999 as a five-piece glam-rock band called the People. Their first few years brought numerous lineup changes — the band estimates eleven People have played in the band at one time or another.
They finally settled on the current lineup in October 2001 and self-released a few records. In 2004, the band signed on with Astralwerks and changed their name to The Golden Republic.
