[DID NOT ATTEND: November 4, 2023] The Last Dinner Party / Mothermary
I heard about The Last Dinner Party a few weeks ago. Right around when I found out they were doing a very short US Tour and Philly was one of the places.
I was intrigued by their gimmick, but also by their music. And I snagged a ticket even though I knew we had tickets to see The Head and the Heart. I figured this would sell out and I’d rather not be able to go because I had something else to do than not be able to go because it was sold out.
So what is this band about? Well, they dress as you see here, and they play a kind of “art-rock bombast” with a “distinctive baroque-pop sound and look.” Lead singer Abigail Morris sings in a very aristocratic way with very long vowels.
And they dress up. Often in corsetry and baroque outfits.
Because, yes, they are all university students. And there are few things more fun than British University students starting a band. (more…)
