Bio
The Last Barbarians formed in the winter of 2006, when old band mates of the once famed Flip McNally reunited for some overdue jamming. Within a week vocalist Mike McCaughan was added to the mix, and the Barbarian sound had been found. They were soon armed with a throng of new material and performed at their first show in a mere month.
Vocalist Mike McCaughan provides the thunderous screams and anarchistic undertones that fuel the connection between The Last Barbarians and their listeners.
Drummer Adam Phaneuf is the backbone taking influence from bands like NOFX, Nirvana and drummers Neil Pert and Buddy Rich.
Bassist John Walters is the Mad Scientist, a free-formed virtuoso who draws influence from conscious existence.
Guitarist Dan Reilly creates an emotionally charged blend of rhythm and lead guitar styles through the inspiration Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Satriani and John Frusciante.
Performing at places like the Trocadero in Philadelphia, Rex's Bar in West Chester, PA, and The Pussycat Lounge in NYC, the next move for The Last Barbarians is to take over the entire East Coast with the release of their new EP. The EP "Weekend Warrior” is scheduled for release on March 22, 2008.
The Last Barbarians are in demand, and are COMING FOR YOU!
