Bio
"Five guys and one gal came together as The Last Gasp back in January of 2006. The Austin-formed band crafts a melodic and melancholy brand of independent pop reminiscent of Cocteau Twins, Air and the Cure, with a little bit of proggressive rock and even country thrown in for good measure." -----------------------------------Dallas Morning News .. ...... .. ...................................................................................................................................................................... .. .. .. "Just before the Last Gasp took the stage, the inside of Emo's was fairly full. The band launched into their set, the amps adorned with projected mini-films and scenery...when the songs morphed from pop into spastic guitar ramblings that then turned into full-on anthems, there was no shortage of conviction, as guitarist Dan Nettles shined, giving soul to each song." --------------------------------------------------YourTexasMusic.com ...... .. .. .. ........................ .............. .............. "The Last Gasp makes the most of its various guitars, pianos, bells, and violins, creating atmospheric indie pop that’s defiantly unafraid of sentimentality. Taking the occasional turn toward prog-rock experimentalism, dipping into slow-burn shoegaze, and winding its way up a rootsy country road keeps the music from becoming too cloying, but that’s just the flickering backdrop to the somber, soft-pedaled tête-à-tête between Christian Glakas and Emily Burns, which suggests yearning and heartbreak behind every song." ----------------------- Austin Decider (The Onion) -
