...And The Tree Was Happy. by Last Falling

Under the influence of his father/on-air radio personality, Charlie Tuna, Bryan developed a unique taste for music at a very young age. His memories are still vivid; singing into a microphone for the first time along to Van Halen songs, listening to his father's radio station on the way to pre-school (trying to figure out if his Dad was actually 'inside' the car radio), to taking drum lessons for a year when he was just five years old. At thirteen life seemed to change indefinetly when he played his first guitar. After learning all his favorite Nirvana songs by ear, he began to write, play, and sing his own songs. The song Mantra, written at the age of sixteen, was one of those songs. His family knew that it was only a matter of time until that first taste of music developed into a hunger.

LAST FALLING's strong rhythm section supports the vocal and guitar melodies, rounding out the band's distinctive sound. James Callaghan brings the pain to the low-end rumble in LAST FALLING. A veteran L.A. scenester of eight years, James first picked up the bass guitar after a grade school chum's band asked him to fill the void left by their former bassist. Learning to play by placing the headstock of his Mexican Jazz bass against his bedroom wall, he developed his own unique style of playing, unvarnished by outside theories or distractions. Relying heavily on a solid mix of stage presence and unrelenting melody, James adds his own unique thumbprint to every musical nuance created by LAST FALLING. The most recent addition to Last Falling, Mark Evangelista, is the only drummer capable of handling the dynamic style and feel the band requires. Mark makes sure that each powerful drum hit is felt by every last audience member from the front of the stage to the back of the bar. From a whisper to a roar, his dynamic touch sets him apart amid a scene saturated with lightweight imposters.

Since the band's inception in March 2003, LAST FALLING has generated a loyal and growing fan base due to their aggressive promotion tactics at shows and online; notably passing out one thousand free home-brew cds of their EP, CALLUS HEART, to self-producing and distributing their latest EP, ...AND THE TREE WAS HAPPY. Currently emersed in their latest project, a 16 track record to be released late 2005, anticipation is felt among LF fans as the band intends to release the most creative and well thought-out project yet. So whether you go looking for the music of LAST FALLING or not, chances are that it will find its way to you.
