About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
Boston Globe
"Pure hard rock...blessed with a singer as well as a menacing wall of riffage and tunes about chicks and rocking out, the Chicago quintet is a good, sleazy time."
The Last Vegas are the return of trashed-up, guitar-driven, leather-clad rock. They rule the nights in United States and Europe, touring consistently throughout 2006-2008, delivering hi-energy rock action.
The Last Vegas are featured on Guitar Hero 2, Nascar.com, NBC Sports, UK's Kerrang Radio, MTV, MTV2, Fox, Fuel TV, Fearless TV/Radio, Q101, WLUP, The G-Hole, Camel Farm Program and as the official music of Kyle Busch Motor Sports.
The Last Vegas have independently sold over 10,000 records, toured in 17 countries within US/Canada/Mexico/Mainland Europe, and are the top rock band in Chicago.
The Last Vegas were selected as the "Be a Guitar Hero 2" competition winner, beating out thousands of bands and earning a spot on the wildly popular, 5-million-unit selling video game, Guitar Hero 2.
The Last Vegas have made festival appearances at Sweden's Gearfest, Italy's Bridgestock Festivo, Denmark's Primitive Fest, Milwaukee's Summerfest, Austin's South By Southwest, Belgium's Sjock Festival, CMJ, Sleazefest, Van's Extreme Sports Tour, Montreal's Degeneration Overdrive, and Rockford Speedway's Memorial Day Event rocking over 25,000.
The Last Vegas could very well be the band that clears the slate for the future of hard rock'n'roll. Strap it on and turn it up.!!!!!!

NEW SONGS! CD DIGIPACK LIMITED EDITION PRESSING
In the harshest winter Chicago's seen in years, The Last Vegas bunkered down in a recording studio and recorded a full album's worth of songs about lust & destruction at Raxx Traxx Studios Chicago. Now available in a limited edition pressing...The Raxx Traxx Sessions. ORDER NOW!

Signing Endorsement deal with Kyle Busch Racing Team. We've always been fans of speed freaks. A badass group of guys that keep it fast and loud in their own way.

Playing out numerous summer festival shows across the States. From blasting off in front of over 15,000 people in Rockford, to Summerfest in Milwaukee, to the sold out Rockfest here in Chicago, it was a non stop rush of rock.

European Tour 3 - What could we expect but full on madness from our overseas fans. We rolled through Spain like a tornado of long hair, sweat, and extremely loud rock n roll. Nothing but good times omitting the broken foot and lost vision along the way. Can't wait to get back for summer dates in 08!!!

Putting 2007 to rest, we headed back to LA for one more shot of adrenaline. Rocking the King King club with our good buddies and a packed house. Hell Yeah. Bring on 2008.

So stay tuned for all things to come in the next couple of months. Rock on - TLV
