The Last Dance are a modern alternative rock group from Orange County California. The music is a hard hitting blend of basic guitar, bass & drums rock ‘n’ roll with 80’s style new wave, postpunk, darkwave, techno and electronica.

Guitarist Rick Joyce, vocalist Jeff Diehm, & bassist Peter J. Gorritz rely on many years of working together in the stage & studio combined with a wealth of varied musical styles & influences between them to forge a sound that is solid and consistent yet flexible enough to constantly evolve.

Years of friendship and shared triumphs & tragedies have also helped the 3 principle members keep the band going strong in situations where lesser bands would have folded. The rigors and hazards of life on the road, the constant challenge of being an indie rock band in a world of DJ's, Pop Divas & American Idol,; even the tragic death of longtime drummer Ivan Dominguez have not been able to slow the bands momentum and desire to succeed.

The Last Dance have released 6 full length albums, along with several E.P.s & Limited Edition releases. They have also been featured performers on innumerable compilations released worldwide. They have performed exhilarating live shows on stages of all sizes throughout North & Latin America & Europe and are expected to be hitting Asia & Australia in the near future.

The Last Dance are also no strangers to the world of visual entertainment. They have had their music featured on MTV's "Made", on NBC news, & they have appeared and performed on the Fox Reality show "The Search For The Next Elvira". They have a video for their single "Once Beautiful", courtesy of acclaimed director Sandy Collora, and are the subject of director Rocky Costanzo's documentary "Almost Beautiful", filmed during the recording and subsequent U.S. tour for the "Once Beautiful" album. A YouTube web search will reveal a plethora of official and fan created video documents of the band in action in a variety of environments.

With a history like this and no signs of slowing down, it's no wonder that The Last Dance have a loyal and devoted following worldwide and is picking up new fans every day. But the best way to get to know The Last Dance is not by reading a bio. Listen to the music. Watch the video. See a show. Experience The Last Dance!
