About The Last Dinner Party

Emerging from the vibrant London music scene, The Last Dinner Party have swiftly ascended to become one of the most talked-about acts of their generation. Formed in 2021, the quintet – comprised of Abigail Morris (vocals, keyboards), Georgia Davies (bass), Lizzie Mayland (guitar), Aurora LaJIM (keyboard, vocals), and James Macfarline (drums) – have carved out a distinctive niche with their art-rock sensibilities, drawing inspiration from the grandeur of Gothic architecture, the theatricality of classic cabaret, and the raw power of post-punk. Their music is a rich tapestry, weaving together soaring vocals, intricate guitar melodies, and driving rhythms, all delivered with an almost operatic flair.

Their debut single, “The Feminine Urge,” released in early 2023, was an immediate statement of intent. Its anthemic chorus and sharp lyrical observations garnered widespread critical acclaim, signalling the arrival of a band unafraid to challenge conventions. This was followed by a string of equally captivating releases, including “My Lady of Grace” and “Caesar,” each showcasing their evolving sound and deepening lyrical prowess. These tracks, along with their subsequent live performances, have established The Last Dinner Party as a formidable force, earning them a devoted fanbase and a reputation for delivering unforgettable shows. Their highly anticipated debut album, “Prelude to Ecstasy,” released in early 2024, further cemented their status, praised for its ambitious scope and cohesive artistic vision. The album is a testament to their unique brand of maximalist art-pop, exploring themes of desire, power, and transcendence with a theatricality that has become their hallmark. They are a band that understands the power of the spectacle, weaving together their sonic narratives with a visual aesthetic that is as striking as their music.
