The Last Goodnight

• Genre: Pop

About

With upbeat hooks and big choruses, The Last Goodnight's debut, Poison Kiss, is the product of a band who is well calibrated for commercial triumph. In fact, it was the major label ink that transformed the band quite literally -- they started playing gigs around their Connecticut hometown under the moniker of Renata in the early 00's, and changed their name when they entered talks with the majors after a 2004 gig at the Whisky in Los Angeles. The current roster is a burly quintet that includes Leif Christensen, Kurtis John, Mike Nadeau, Ely Rise, and Anton Yurack.
