[edit] Sound
The Last Vegas are a band neck deep in Sleazy, Good Time Rock n Roll. Think the best parts of 70's arena rock, 80's Sunset strip, and modern underground ass kicking boogie with a flair for leather, cheap drinks, and girls that should know better. It's Loud, It's Cocky, It's long hair and guitar solos, big balls, big fire, and everything you ever wanted from a rock n roll band.
The band released their first record, "Lick 'Em and Leave 'Em" on independent distributor Get Hip Records in 2003, which was met with critical success, allowing them to establish a cult following across Europe. From that time onward, The Last Vegas has toured persistently, releasing three more albums and headlining concerts in over 17 countries worldwide.
