Last Burning Embers formed in 1997 in New York City and have been unsteadily building steam since. The members of the band are: David Burokas, songwriter, vocalist and guitarist; Tom Burke, bass guitar; Jack Rabid, drums and some vocals. Collectively they're a band in the tradition of swirling British, Australian, and American post-punk of the past twenty years with a certain modern vitality. LBE believe that the greatest of oxymorons, rock with brains, beauty, and brawn, is a viable alternative to the current status quo. Reference points are wide and varied, but the goal is to produce earnest, heartfelt music with an unmistakable edge.
