The Last Dinner Party

The Last Dinner Party are a British alternative, indie rock band, formed in London in 2021. The band is composed of Abigail Morris on lead vocals, Lizzie Mayland on guitar and vocals, Emily Roberts on lead guitar and other instruments, Georgia Davies on bass, and Aurora Nishevci on keys and vocals. They have no permanent drummer as of 2023 but a suite of guests who have played shows and singles.

Defying modern conventions of bands emerging from sudden viral stardom, The Last Dinner Party came together the old fashioned way: they met organically in 2020, began working together, and started grinding live shows before attracting the attention of managers and labels due to the overwhelming charisma, style, and sound of their live performances.

Originally called “The Dinner Party”, they opted to change their name after being signed to Island Records to avoid conflicts with the rap super group.

The sound of the band has been described as anything between alt and baroque, but the band describes themselves in Rolling Stone thusly:

We don’t have a tagline or genre or anything that we can whip out of the bag whenever someone asks about what we are. We never give the same answer because we just don' know what that is. More often, we’ll use aesthetic words that you might use to describe a painting, like opulent or decadent or grotesque! That’s the sound, because we borrow from so many genres and styles and we don’t want to be able to nail down a genre. We want to be timeless. Some of our songs might sound like Nine Inch Nails and others are Pink Floyd, there’s everything in there. – Georgia Davies
