Last Of Our Kind

About Me

Last of our Kind (LOOK) is the preeminent Alternative Eclectic Experimental Rock Band on the San Antonio music scene today. In a remarkable career that started out as a two piece Instrumental act , the Quartet of Amadeus Fernandez on guitars , Bryan Alfaro on guitars and vocals, Eric Miculka on drums and backing vocals and Derek Easterling on bass and backing vocals continues to push the standard for original rock music.Critical acclaim and a wide demographic fan base has built a dedicated following that grows each year. Whether headlining a local bar, playing music festivals, benefit concerts, or sharing the stage with such celebrated acts as Grammy nominated band Grupo Fantasma , The Dreaming , Vallejo, Blowing Trees, February Chorus, VAST, Mothers Anthem, Sounds Under Radio, among others looks great on LOOK’s accomplishments but it’s not what keeps them at the forefront of the music scene it is the energy and vitality of their music and songwriting, but most importantly the showmanship in which it is delivered.From its humble, inconspicuous beginnings as a open mic act, to making finals in every battle of the bands entered, LOOK’s journey has been one of hard work, perseverance, and dedication. Their music is clever, melodic, refined; their performances are entertaining, mesmerizing and epic. There's a reason that San Antonio Current magazine awarded best instrumentalist of San Antonio 2007 to Amadeus Fernandez ,why SARocks.com was impressed with new vocalist Bryan ; and why fans really enjoy the new additions of Eric on drums and Derek on Bass — all within a year — because they're that good! Amadeus chord progressions and riffs are catchy, delicate, and sets the mood for the songs, Bryans Vocals are melodic, vibrant, passionate, and daring. The understated bass play by Derek masterful. The seamless, efficiency of Eric’s drum play and his jazz background is extraordinary. The interaction among the 4 represents Alternative Eclectic Rock at its best.The news keeps getting better— LOOK is just hitting its creative stride. Their much anticipated self titled Freshman Album “Last of our Kind”, set to be recorded this summer, comes a year after the band found its roots and began to grow.By all accounts, for this "eclectic band," as SARocks.com recently described them, it would be best to keep your eyes on this band and your ears tuned in to their music. Witness history in the making. This is welcome news for LOOK’s faithful and ever-expanding fan base. Yet — even better news for the world of Original Rock — LOOK has finally come into their own.
