California, United States

The Last Dance are a modern alternative rock group from California. The music is a hard hitting blend of basic guitar, bass and drums rock ‘n’ roll with 80’s style new wave, postpunk, darkwave, and electronica.

Guitarist Rick Joyce, vocalist Jeff Diehm, and bassist Peter J. Gorritz rely on many years of working together in the stage and studio combined with a wealth of varied musical styles and influences between them to forge a sound that is solid and consistent yet flexible enough to constantly evolve.

Years of friendship and shared triumphs and tragedies have also helped the 3 principle members keep the band going strong in situations where many would have given up. The rigors and hazards of life on the road, the constant challenge of being an independent rock band in a world of Major Label competition, Pop Divas and American Idol; even the tragic death of longtime drummer Ivan Dominguez have not been able to slow the bands momentum and desire to succeed.

The Last Dance have released 6 full length albums, along with several E.P.s and Limited Edition releases. They have also been featured performers on innumerable compilations released worldwide, including international magazines and Hot Topic exclusives. They have performed exhilarating live shows on stages of all sizes in clubs, halls, and indoor and outdoor festivals throughout North and Latin America and Europe and are expected to be hitting Asia and Australia in the near future.

Online I was watching the finale of "The Next Elvira" reality show. And, The Last Dance was performing! They were the only redeeming factor to that horrid show.

Well, they've grown on me, thats for sure. I do have to admit, when Nightmares came on, I did think I was listening to a Crüxshadows remix or something... until the singing of course :P

Wow, the music is really good, but I don't like the guy singing which spoils it for me. Shame because the music itself is good in my opinion, hope this stuff grows on me...

Please recommend any good gothic rock bands like this! I love TLD.. and I can tell you as a fan of The Cruxshadows that they have little to nothing in common.

The vocalist has so much more range and depth than Rogue. He's much less nasal, and the songs in general are much tighter and more cleverly constructed. "Whisper" knocks me over every time I listen to it.

They sound exactly like older Cruxshadows. Even the vocalist sounds like Rogue. Tons of ppl in clubs think they're hearing Cruxshadows when a dj plays Nightmares.
