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

favorite bands. |
|
|
| --Queef - |
| |
| Former
Last bassist Missy Buettner and drummer Robbie Rist

| 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 - Hello Young Lovers.
Check it out! |

|
| --The
Urinals - |
| |
|
One of the great bands in the 70s/80s LA punk
scene, and longtime friends of The Last. 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.
The Urinals changed their name to 100 Flowers after some
clubs refused to book them and/or put their name on the
marquee. Now they now call themselves The
Chairs of Perception.

|
