The Last Dinner Party are a indie rock band from London, formed in 2021. The Last Dinner Party will soon be your new favourite band. They look like a gang of feral Catholic schoolgirl misfits who have staged a rebellion, raided the drama club’s wardrobe room and are throwing a goth party on the hockey pitch. They sound like a group who broke free of orchestra training when they discovered a stash of old Sparks and Roxy Music albums, The band consists of Abigail Morris (vocals), Lizzie Mayland (vocals, guitar), Emily Roberts (lead guitar, mandolin, flute), Georgia Davies (bass), and Aurora Nishevci (keys, vocals). The band’s debut single, “Nothing Matters“, was described as “art-rock bombast” by Rolling Stone UK, while the Evening Standard described their music and live shows as having a “distinctive baroque-pop sound and look”. The band have been compared to Kate Bush, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sparks, and Warpaint,
The band signed with Island Records before releasing their debut single “Nothing Matters” in April 2023. Their second single “Sinner” was released in June 2023, and their third single “My Lady of Mercy” was released in October 2023. The band have just completed their first tour as a headline act was of the UK and US beginning in October 2023.
“My Lady of Mercy” is about being a girl. A girl looking at a painting of Joan of Arc for the first time and thinking that she looks so brave and so beautiful that maybe she wants to kiss her. And maybe she also wants to kiss the girl who stands next to her in the school choir.
The Last Dinner Party perform “My Lady of Mercy” on Later… with Jools Holland.
