About The Last Dinner Party

Emerging from the vibrant London music scene, The Last Dinner Party have swiftly ascended to become a truly sensational force. Formed in 2021, the quintet – Abigail Morris (vocals), Lizzie Mayland (guitar, vocals), Georgia Davies (bass), Aurora La Crete (drums), and Emily Roberts (keyboards, guitar) – burst onto the radar with their debut single “The Feminine Urge” in 2023. This track, a defiant and artfully orchestrated anthem, immediately signalled their unique sonic identity: a potent cocktail of theatrical flair, sharp lyricism, and a refusal to conform. Their music draws inspiration from a rich tapestry of influences, from the grandeur of Kate Bush and the dramatic intensity of Florence + The Machine to the art-rock sensibilities of David Bowie and the evocative storytelling of Scott Walker.

The band’s live performances quickly became the stuff of legend, renowned for their striking visual aesthetic and mesmerising stagecraft. Clad in striking, often custom-made costumes that wouldn’t look out of place on a historical drama set, they create an immersive experience that transcends the typical concert. Their debut album, Prelude to Ecstasy, released in early 2024, was met with critical acclaim, further solidifying their reputation. Tracks like the anthemic “Nothing Matters” and the haunting “Sinner” showcase their dynamic range, from blistering rock passages to delicate, introspective moments. “My Lady of Grace” exemplifies their ability to craft epic, sweeping ballads, while the more urgent “Caesar on a TV Screen” demonstrates their knack for biting social commentary delivered with infectious energy. The Last Dinner Party are more than just musicians; they are storytellers, provocateurs, and architects of an aural and visual spectacle that is both timeless and thrillingly contemporary.
