The newcomers from Kirchheim unter Teck have won the Firestone Band Contest and are allowed to perform at the Southside Festival. We introduce them to you.
Being able to perform at one of the largest and most visited festivals in Germany is a long-awaited dream for most new artists, but for many it seems to be a long way off. There are exceptions though, and The Last Bash is one of them. The new indie rock band from Kirchheim unter Teck has won the coveted Firestone Band Contest and is allowed to perform at the Southside Festival on Friday, June 16, 2023.
Musically, The Last Bash are strongly based on the Arctic Monkeys, The Killers and The Strokes. The songs that have already been released, such as “London”, “Impressive” and “Galaxy”, are primarily defined by their mixture of indie with a rock’n’roll attitude – a sound conglomerate that the group itself calls “IndieTude”. .
This is how The Last Bash sounds:
Singer Max Bantlin and guitarist Thomas Schöttle have been working together for a decade and have been part of quite a few band projects. Together with bassist Till Mack and drummer Tobias Schöttmer, they have been performing under the name The Last Bash since 2018. Like many other bands, the indie troupe experienced a creative boost during the Corona pandemic, which resulted in ten songs that are now being gradually released as singles.
