about

'We say what we like, we play what we like, I think we've earned the right'

Debut single Recorded with legendary drummer/producer Dave Morgan (The Loft/Weather Prophets) at 'The Living Room' ....

'A Kind of Loving in a Loveless Town' is our love letter to the twisted frontier times of the 1970's, which we 3 (just about) managed to grow up in and somehow escape from - It's our 'Waterloo Sunset'.

'Our Flowers will Grow' is one of the earliest Last Party tracks which we recorded on a cassette (with Daniel Ashkenazy) and then stored away in a drawer for 30 years - we had to completely re- learn the song because we never knew what chords were back then - It is an ode to our optimism and resilience despite the chaotic world around us.

We hope you enjoy.

Simon, Kim & Neil
