Joe and Mike Nolte of The Last
The last time brothers Joe and Mike Nolte did an acoustic performance, Greg Shaw was there. Joe and Mike continue to vocally front The Last, as they have since the band's formation in 1976. A brand new Last album will be out in early 2008, featuring Descendents/All rhythm geniuses Bill Stevenson and Karl Alvarez. Additionally, the "old school" early 80's Last (including keyboardist/co-conspirator Vitus Matare) has recently reformed and will be performing live in the near future.
