We Dance to Remember…

Since its formation in 1990,THE LAST DANCE has endured all manner of challenges. Life, growth, upheaval, adventure...even death. In the past few years, three of the four members have relocated to cities around the globe. They have faced an always changing music business, evolving musical muses and passions, along with periods of intense activity followed by periods of hibernation.

Through it all, they have kept dancing.

From the days of sharing a house in Fountain Valley, Ca, through the years of living in a van while touring, into a present that finds the four members of the band living in different cities, perusing their own muses…Rick, Jeff, Peter, and Tom have kept the dance going…if only to remember those who danced along with them.

Through it all, they have continued to create, perform and grow.

And now they are ready to dance again, with your help.

WHY NOW?

At the end of the last album/tour cycle in 2008, THE LAST DANCE seemed to be at the end of the road. Rick got married and moved to England. Jeff moved to Virginia to pursue his dream of a career in History. Peter settled in Tucson, AZ and began a career in film and TV soundtrack composition. Tom held down the fort in Los Angeles, playing drums with Death Rock legends 45 GRAVE and many others.

All was quiet in the TLD world.

Then the letter came.

In 2013, Jeff received a heartfelt letter from a long time fan who was fighting to continue her own dance. She described her battle with a terrible disease and how the music of TLD had been a great comfort to her during her struggle to stay alive. She shared her hope of having new TLD songs to play while in therapy. One of the new songs is named after her...”KatSong”.

With that as a motivation, the band rallied to complete some demos that they had been circulating for a few years. A haunting single, “Mesmerize”, was released online in early 2014. The reaction was so positive that the band drew up a plan to write, record, and release two songs every few months until they had enough material for a full CD. A second single entitled “Thoughtless” was released in August 2014.

The new music was proving to be more aggressive, dark, introspective, and organic than ever before.

The new album, RUINS, is nearing completion. 12 new songs, all written and recorded without the members of the band ever being in the same room! Each member working in his own time zone, using recording studios in Los Angeles, home studios from Tucson to Northern England...even recording vocals in parked cars! Sharing files and building songs from the ground up…or sometimes the top down.

All of the new creativity coincides with the invitation to perform at the 21st Anniversary of their favorite Goth festival…Whitby Gothic Weekend in beautiful Northern England.

This will be the band’s fifthtime performing at WGW, though Jeff’s solo band Autumn Cannibals performed in 2010 with Tom on drums. This year’s event has an INCREDIBLE LINEUP, including THE DAMNED, THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE, THE CRUXSHADOWS, BELLA MORTE, ABNEY PARK and many more.

It would seem that the stars have aligned for a full fledged LAST DANCE CD AND UK TOUR for April 2015. 

A short tour is being booked as we speak, with shows in Manchester and London confirmed so far.

THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN!

The priorities for the IndieGoGo Crowd Funding Campaign are to get Jeff, Peter, and Tom to England for the tour, as well as to manufacture a small run of physical CDs to sell both during and after the tour.

The new music will be widely available in all the usual places. RUINS will be represented in the territories of Germany, France, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland by the record label Strobelight Records.  In the rest of the world, including the USA and UK, it is being self-released by the band members.

By using IndieGoGo, there is now the chance to presell the new record, plus offer our older recordings in digital form to those who are missing them in their collections. There are also several fun perks, including bonus tracks, drum and bass tracks for your own songs, full access to the band members, and house concerts. 

All of this is in the hope that in continuing to dance TLD can help their friends and fans continue with their own dancing…literally and figuratively.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT…NOW AND FOREVER

Rick - Jeff - Peter - Tom
