Last Nighters are one with the Universe.

     They use everybody and everything around them as inspiration for creating the music that they play. All of this inspiration is tossed around between this 5 piece collective, and then turned into a form of expression. So turn off your radio, kill your TV, forget about the magazines telling girls how fat they are, when really, they look awesome. Throw all of that aside, because with Last Nighters, it's all about love and harmony. No agendas, no greed, no institutionalization. Just a genuine music experience. "Our music makes me feel like I'm connected with everyone in the world, like we're all in this together. And when people hear our music, I feel as though I've made a deep connection with them." - Rob From the cultural centers of the world, to small towns in unlikely places, the 5 members of San Antonio based Last Nighters have had individual experiences in places all over the globe. They have a bigger understanding and realization of how big this world is that we live in, and aim to bridge the gap of relativity between these largely varying frames of reference. The music of Last Nighters can be classified as "Alternative/Indie/Rock". Their songs are as individual & dynamic as the human mind.

        "Bunch of dudes live in the same host, listen to the same records, and jam out a lot. Add those ingredients, a healthy appreciation for a pop hook, and you've got Animal Room, the debut from upstarts the Last Nighters. Recorded, mixed, and released by the band, it's the kind of record that sounds gone over a hundred times, streamlined for maximum punch (see the soaring "Your Mind Is An Airplane" for proof). You don't get debuts much stronger than this."
        J.D. Swerzenski - KRTU Indie Overnight/San Antonio Current

        "A remarkably cohesive whole with parts born in disparate locales, Last Nighters is a San Antonio band with a far more fully realized sound that you'd expect from a group that just released their debut album. Boasting a rousing and never wasteful or overdone album - Animal Room, released this summer -- the band has a wildly emotive and irresistibly transfixing live show. A mix of sincerity, tight musical execution, and balls: the live incarnation of their twangy-jangly indie pop-rock crackles with youthful energy and surplus self-mastery. Last Nighters have a promising penchant for arresting, almost Americana feeling indie rock songs with pop essences. They also know how to use their strengths - especially, but not only, Fernandez' thick and whiskeyed voice - to the fullest. All this, plus a live mojo that makes it hard to keep from gyrating when Fernandez launches into the heady chorus on "The Borough," their most gigantic song."
        James Courtney - San Antonio Current

        "Animal Room, the debut LP by San Antonio's Last Nighters, plays like something of a concise history of modern Southern indie music. From blues to pop to country twang and indie-rock bluster, Last Nighters are children of the wide-open Texas night - unafraid to be exuberant or to dress like their heroes when the time is right. A diverse and bite-sized introduction, highlights from Animal Room include the sultry almost-ballad "Very Direct," the jam band sing-along "Your Mind is an Airplane," and (my favorite) the vehemently stomping crowd-shy lament "The Borough.""
