Guitarist Rick Joyce, vocalist Jeff Diehm, and bassist Peter J. Gorritz rely on many years of working together in the stage and studio combined with a wealth of varied musical styles and influences between them to forge a sound that is solid and consistent yet flexible enough to constantly evolve.
Years of friendship and shared triumphs and tragedies have also helped the 3 principle members keep the band going strong in situations where many would have given up. The rigors and hazards of life on the road, the constant challenge of being an independent rock band in a world of Major Label competition, Pop Divas and American Idol; even the tragic death of longtime drummer Ivan Dominguez have not been able to slow the bands momentum and desire to succeed.
The Last Dance have released 6 full length albums, along with several E.P.s and Limited Edition releases. They have also been featured performers on innumerable compilations released worldwide, including international magazines and Hot Topic exclusives. They have performed exhilarating live shows on stages of all sizes in clubs, halls, and indoor and outdoor festivals throughout North and Latin America and Europe and are expected to be hitting Asia and Australia in the near future.
The Last Dance are also no strangers to the world of visual entertainment. They have had their music featured on MTV's "Made", on ABC news, and they have appeared and performed on the Fox Reality show "The Search For The Next Elvira". They have a video for their single "Once Beautiful", courtesy of acclaimed director Sandy Collora, and are the subject of director Rocky Costanzo's recent DVD documentary "Almost Beautiful", filmed during the recording and subsequent U.S. tour for the "Once Beautiful" album.
With a history like this and no signs of slowing down, it's no wonder that The Last Dance have a loyal and devoted following worldwide and are picking up new fans every day. But the best way to get to know The Last Dance is not by reading a bio. Listen to the music. Watch the video. See a show.

The Last Dance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Creeping 'round the walls
Now you'll feel him
Crawling over you
Creepy crawly things
Filling up your bed
Soon you'll feel him
You think he's there
Beware his bite
But when you look
The spider's not in sight
Spiders reappear
Taking peoples names
Everything is
Taken down insane
There's no way out
And there's no key
But here's a clue
The spider's really me
You're written in his book
The spider won't forget
You won't forget
The spiders in the night
The end is going night
Itsy witsy friends
The spiders disappearing
From the night
You think he's gone
You think he's dead
There's no escape
The spider's in your head
All the spiders in the night
All the spiders in the night
All the spiders in the night
...
The lyrics to "51051" by The Last Dance are a chilling portrayal of the presence of spiders in the night. The song creates an eerie atmosphere with its descriptions of spiders crawling on walls and beds, and ultimately makes a shocking revelation: the spider is actually the singer.
The first verse details the spider's movements and its ability to creep up on you without being seen. The second verse alludes to the spiders filling up your bed and crawling through your brains, creating a sense of horror and claustrophobia. The third verse takes the listener by surprise with the revelation that the spider is actually the singer, and has been taking people's names and writing them down in his book.
The lyrics then repeat the phrase "All the spiders in the night" several times, emphasizing the all-encompassing and inescapable nature of the spider's presence. The song ends with a sense of finality as the spiders disappear from the night, but the implication remains that the spider is still lurking in the minds of those who have been bitten.
Overall, the lyrics to "51051" by The Last Dance create a vivid and unnerving picture of the presence of spiders in the night, and the potential danger they pose to those who encounter them.

Spiders in the night
There are frightening things lurking in the dark
Creeping 'round the walls
Whatever is lurking is moving with stealth and care
Now you'll feel him
You're about to be confronted with something terrible
Crawling over you
This terrible thing is going to surround you
Creepy crawly things
More of these frightening creatures are coming
Filling up your bed
The creatures are multiplying and becoming more numerous
Soon you'll feel him
You will be completely surrounded by these creatures
Crawling through your brains
You will not be able to escape the terror
You think he's there
You suspect there is a foe out there
Beware his bite
You know the foe is capable of hurting you
But when you look
When you start to investigate
The spider's not in sight
You cannot see the foe, but you know it is there
Spiders reappear
The terrible creatures have returned
Taking peoples names
They are claiming lives left and right
Everything is
All is lost
Taken down insane
People are becoming irrational in the face of the terror
There's no way out
There is no escape
And there's no key
There is no solution or way to deal with the problem
But here's a clue
There is a shred of information to be found
The spider's really me
The person singing is the spider
You're written in his book
Individuals have been marked as targets
The spider won't forget
The spider is not going to forgive or forget
You won't forget
The targets will not forget what has befallen them
The spiders in the night
The dangerous creatures continue to strike under the cover of darkness
The end is going night
The night is advancing towards its conclusion
Itsy witsy friends
The spiders are small, but very dangerous
The spiders disappearing
The spiders are vanishing
From the night
They are being defeated by the coming daytime
You think he's gone
You believe the foe has been vanquished
You think he's dead
You think the foe has been killed
There's no escape
The foe cannot be avoided
The spider's in your head
The foe cannot be defeated and lives inside your mind
All the spiders in the night
All the horrible creatures that come out at night
All the spiders in the night
All the dangerous nocturnal creatures
All the spiders in the night
All the creepy, crawly things that start to emerge in the dark

This song reflects what many of us felt while growing up - that what everyone else, what the "popular kids" had, was "normal", and that we had left. And the wistful longing we had to be like them, but being trapped inside who we really are - which is someone *not like everyone else*.
