English
When Sven Dekker and Mark van Zanten decide to form a band in 2006, a journey of 6 month resulted in the band Last Gear. Since that moment, the line-up has been:
Mark van Zanten - Guitar/vocals
Sven Dekker - Guitar
Leo Cremers - Bass
Rogier Verplancke - Drums
The Leiden based foursome started to write their songs and develop their own sound. The alternative rock Last Gear plays is characterized by heavy guitars, raw vocals, fluent bass and pounding drums.
The band signed up for the bandcoaching made possible by the Ontzettend Leiden Foundation. With it’s selection for this bandcoaching, the band had been offered studio time at the Art of Sound studio and a show at LVC, where many compliments were received.

Als in 2006 Sven Dekker en Mark van Zanten besluiten om een band te vormen, ontstaat er na een zoektocht van een half jaar de band Last Gear. De bezetting is vanaf dat moment:
Mark van Zanten - Gitaar/zang
Sven Dekker - Gitaar
Leo Cremers - Bas
Rogier Verplancke - Drums
Het viertal, dat in de regio van Leiden gevestigd is, begint vrij snel eigen nummers te maken en een eigen sound te ontwikkelen. De alternatieve rock van Last Gear wordt gekenmerkt door stevige gitaren, rauwe zang, vloeiende bas en stevige drums.
Ook schrijft de band zich in voor het bandcoachingtraject dat door het Leids Ontzet wordt mogelijk gemaakt in het kader van Ontzettend Leiden. De band wordt hiervoor geselecteerd, en krijgt o.a. een opnamen aangeboden de Art of Sound studio en een optreden in het LVC te Leiden, waar vele positieve reacties te horen waren.
