The Last City

Oldies but goodies. Found some photos from one of our film cameras playing at back when it had a brick and mortar.

New year, new lyrics

New show poster 😍

LIVE MUSIC! We are so excited to be back at this Thursday at 6:30! Come enjoy some covers and originals. We might even take a few requests.

There's no way to lose this until we lose control
So I won't let you take this unless you take it all
Our new single, Take it All, will be out in 3 days! Pre-save it on Spotify today with the link in our bio!

Glow up alert! 🚨 Album artwork edition

Take it All was written over a decade ago and has had several versions (more on that later) but the real change is in this album artwork 😆. When we lived in Japan we release a self titled EP and Lizbet made a little custom drawing for each song around the main art theme. It was all colored pencils scanned into the computer and took forever. The new artwork feels more polished but we will forever cherish where we came from! 🫡

🎶 7 days! 🎶

Making plans 👀👀👀

We’ve got another new song in the works with a full write up and instrumental demo on Patreon of how it came together!

“I've often said that for creativity to really be focused and clear, it needs a box to play in. A blank canvas can be intimidating. This is the first time in a while I felt like myself as a creative, like I was directing ideas onto the paper instead of forcing them out of hiding.”

Head to our bio to get to Patreon for the full experience!

We had a great time on Friday in the studio adding as many layers of violin as possible and making sure the foundations of the song are all in place. Alma Ro. Records has provided us with such a fun, professional recording experience!

Take It All has been through a lot of iterations, it deserves to reach its final form and is helping us get it there

“If I could save you from myself, it’d be the greatest thing I’ve ever done.” Putting some work into “Hourglass” during our Music Monday on a Wednesday.

If you caught our stories, you saw some of what we were working on last night during our weekly "Music Monday." We are working hard to make sure we still keep music as a big part of our lives, and having a consistent Monday night writing/recording/practice time has made a huge difference. We've got a little behind the scenes write up of the demo recording process on our Patreon (we're making this post public for a few days to give you a taste of the patron experience!). Let us know what you think!

and having this consistency has made a huge difference!

Last night was magic. Thank you Top Ten Records and Cozi anda Flounder for having us out! 📸 by SC Imagery

The first time we ever played at Top Ten Records, we got to share the evening with our dear friend and amazing musician Ezra Vancil Music. This time around, things are a little different. He's playing with his daughter (Cozi anda Flounder) and we have a whole new baby! The things that are similar are the good music, good people, and really great vibes at an Oak Cliff staple! We're looking forward to playing on Friday, the show starts at 7:30. See you there! Get your tickets at https://www.toptenrecords.org/product/cozi-anda-flounder-w-the-last-city-7-29-22/11064?fbclid=IwAR01XRVmrB-rbPC4zTIhRVZu1MP9uwdcLW9UDrhvjtuNTXDdUQRmSb9XIrI

We can't wait to play with our friends Cozi anda Flounder on July 29 at Top Ten Records. We love playing at Top Ten, the vibe is intimate and they do really wonderful work in our community. Get your tickets at https://bit.ly/topten729!

Hey y'all! We're doing some market research for those of you who are fans of Gungor, The Liturgists, or adjacent projects. We have the opportunity to put together a house show, or maybe something bigger, or maybe both, for Michael Gungor this fall in Dallas. Before we set things in motion, I'd love to gauge interest! If this is something you'd be interested in, please fill out the following! https://bit.ly/aneveningwithmg

Go follow on Instagram! We had to start a new band account after getting hacked. The old one has disappeared but that means we get our original username back. That also means we’ve lost all our photos (this is almost a decade of content, so sad 😭😭😭) and followers. Just another reminder to not click links from people until you know they’re really them! (Could also be called “don’t Instagram with mom brain)
