"Last Nighters Album Release Party"

After gigging around town with increasing frequency and to increasingly profuse accolade, Last Nighters are throwing an official release party for Animal Room, the album containing most of the songs they’ve been honing. The show promises to be one of the highlights of the weekend. First of all, Last Nighters write beautiful Southern indie rock music, laced with woozy harmonies and satisfying guitar-driven forays into a haunting and psychedelic sonic realm. Secondly, as good as they sound on the album for which this party is being thrown, Last Nighters are even bigger, deeper, and more magnetic live, creating an intoxicating sonic thickness out of their loose, yet expert musical collaboration. It doesn’t hurt that two other local powerhouses, Cartographers and Lonely Horse, round out the bill. - San Antonio Current

"Local band to watch: Last Nighters"

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 and reviewed here — 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.

"The band took our time honing in on our live sound and making sure that it works in conjunction with the way our recordings sound," says frontman Rob Fernández. "It took lots of time to figure out what we were going for, musically." It was a smart move that has paid great dividends for them and serves as a reminder to other new bands that starting a band and being a band are quite different things.

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, Fernández' thick and whiskeyed voice — to the fullest. All this, plus a live mojo that makes it hard to keep from gyrating when Fernández launches into the heady chorus on "The Borough," their most gigantic song: "When I see you, when I see you talk about me, I just wanna, I just wanna run away." Yeah dude, we're talking about you, but don't go anywhere — it's a good thing. - San Antonio Current

"Last Nighters: 'Animal Room'"

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.” Download the whole album at lastnighters.bandcamp.com. - San Antonio Current
