The Last Laugh (VA)
Who has The Last Laugh?
So one day, these two crazy kids at Virginia Tech started playing around with a guitar and a $500 MP3 recorder. They showed some of their stuff to a few of their musically inspired friends, and before long, the joke of starting a band starting becoming a reality.
They don't know where they're going with this...it may just continue in good fun, or maybe something more. But where the road may lead, your welcome to follow along.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We've been friends for years, and within the last year and a half have been playing around with ideas. Dana (Nad) is the guitarist, and also comes in with the bass now and then, and co-writes the lyrics and vocals. I (Laura, aka Valdyr) mainly do vocals and lyrics, with a little guitar or percussion influence, along with a beginning interest in mixing.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Nothing live yet, just recordings. But maybe an open mic night is in our future...
Your musical influences
Wow, we like so many things, but sound like none of them. I think we could list some of our favorite bands as Orgy, Jimmie's Chicken Shack, Fluffy Starr, and Blues Traveler...but we've been described as comparable to Bjork and Massive Attack. But I don't doubt that one day we might working more of our favorite sounds into what we do.
