Description
The dream of kicking the corporate job in the head and making the indie pop album that was always in you is not uncommon. To actually do it, and as gorgeously as Annie O'Rourke has in The Last of the Lovely Day's debut album No Public House Talk, is singular.
The band is composed of O'Rourke plus The Others' Jimmy Lager ('bad boy' turned good) on guitar and keyboards, Caramel Jack's Michael Eyers on bass, and Fugu drummer Paul Portinari.
Brighton based, they fashion a multi-faceted musical world in which Blondie were a West Coast band fronted by Kirsty MacColl, C86 was C&W inspired, and Mama Cass lived to go gloriously solo. The album title? It's just an Irish colloquialism for 'I'm not bullsh**ting!'.

"Pure power pop. Sounds like Kirsty MacColl and that is a very good thing indeed." Michael Weston King (My Darling Clementine)
"The Last Of The Lovely Days play classic 80s/90s-flavoured indie pop with smart lyrics and instantly memorable melodies. For fans of The Primitives, Lush and Blondie." Simon Price (Record Collector/The Guardian/The Quietus)
