Jerks - |

Longtime friends
of The Last - Keith Morris and Greg Hetson. They're
still around and playing - definitely go check 'em out! |
|
| --Cockeyed
Ghost - |
|
Joe sez, "Home page for one of the
key (and best) bands to emerge thus far from the current 'Pop
Underground.'" |
|
| --Descendents
/ All - |
|
All Central. What can I say? They were influenced
by The Last; David Nolte was in the original lineup;
Bill Stevenson produced
The Last for SST; both bands hail from the South Bay;
and now Bill & Karl are members
of The Last! |

The Eddies - long-time
friends and supporters of The Last - check 'em out! |
|

David Nolte is currently playing/recording in David
Gray's band. His new CD is great - go and buy it! |

| --Misfortune
Cookie - |
|
New band featuring
Joe Nolte (from The Last) and Kelly Hom &
Lisa Torres (from 5 Star Crush). |
|
| --The Negro
Problem - |
|
We linked to them
a long time ago, but their site on AOL disappeared one day. Just
ran across their new site today! One of Joe's favorite
bands. |
|
| --Queef - |
|
Former Last bassist
Missy Buettner and drummer Robbie Rist are "unapologetically
vulgar purveyors of F*ckcore Music." Their album Stinkin'
Up the Joint is due this summer! |
|
| --Redd Kross - |
|
One of the infamous
bands from the "Church" who, along with Black Flag,
The Last and The Descendents, helped define the
South Bay scene of the time. Cool site with lots of content. |
|
| --The Residents - |
|
A favorite band
of Dan, Joe and Missy. They have a new CD
& DVD out (Demons Dance Alone) and just finished playing
a short tour in support of it. |
|
| --Sator - |
|
These famed Swedish
punksters were all set to record a version of The Last's
unreleased classic "Go Away Girl." I don't think it
ever happened as planned. |
|
| --Sparks - |
|
"Nothing
to do" with The Last (except they're both from LA,
have both been involved with low-budget thrill movies that flopped
("Rollercoaster" and "Fade to Black," respectively)
and former Sparks member Earle Mankey produced
The Last's Gin and Innuendoes. Either way, Dan
loves Sparks. They have a great new CD out - Li'l Beethoven.
Check it out! |
|
| --The
Urinals - |
|
A great band who
thankfully are back together, both playing and recording. Last
keyboardist/songwriter Vitus Mataré recorded a
number of their records, while Last bassist David Nolte
recorded a 1998 demo for them and even played a few gigs with
them on guitar. They have a new album about to be released this
year (2003)! |
|
| --Wednesday
Week - |
|
Just one of the
many bands of former Last bassist David Nolte. He joined
this band and married the lead singer, Kristi
Callan. They performed on the Joan Rivers
Show the same night newcomer Arsenio Hall took over. |

| --X - |

Pioneers in the
LA punk scene - back together and touring! |
|
| --Climb Your Wall
a Kinks Fan Page - |
|
Former last bassist/producer
David Nolte sometimes plays in Kinks co-founder
Dave
Davies' band! Just one of the many bands David
is currently playing with. Here's a cool tribute site to The Ravens
(Dave Davie's band), that has lots of info on the various members,
including David Nolte! |
|
| --Common
Thread - |
|
Much-anticipated
video documentary on the South Bay (LA) Punk scene. |
|
| --Indie
Radio 103.1 - |
|
Cool radio station
that changed their format in January, 2004 - now featuring older
punk almost exclusively! It's an LA station, but they stream
over the web... |
|
| --Happy
Squid Records - |
|
Formed and run
by John-Talley Jones of The
Urinals, this cool record company just released the classic
Keats Rides a Harley compilation on CD (in Aug 2005),
with loads of great bonus tracks! |
|
| -House of the
Rising Punk - |
|
A very comprehensive
punk link page, running the website gamut from the Screamers
to Wreckless Eric to the Lunachicks. |
|
| -Of
Hands and Hearts - |
|
A benefit album
for the victims of the 2003 tsunamis in Southeast Asia. |
|
| --PunkNet77 - |
|
A cool "old-school"
punk site from Europe. Is The Last a punk band? Depends
on your definition of "punk." My view - if The Buzzcocks
can be considered "punk," then so can The Last... |
|
| --Punk Rockers.com - |
|
Another great
site devoted to many different classic punk bands from the US
and Europe, such as Black Flag, the Screamers, Weirdos, Sex Pistols,
Sham69 and more! |
|
| --Trouser Press - |
|
When Trouser
Press released their "90s Only"edition, all references
to The Last disappeared. However, the band is well represented
here,
in their website... |
