| CD "Distress Call", "Comfort In Misery" and
"Cafe Radical" Last Burning Embers formed in 1997 in New York City and have been unsteadily building steam since. The members of the band are: David Burokas, songwriter, vocalist and guitarist; Tom Burke, bass guitar; Jack Rabid, drums and some vocals. Collectively they're a band in the tradition of swirling British, Australian, and American post-punk of the past twenty years with a certain modern vitality. LBE believe that the greatest of oxymorons, rock with brains, beauty, and brawn, is a viable alternative to the current status quo. Reference points are wide and varied, but the goal is to produce earnest, heartfelt music with an unmistakable edge. |
