Last Few Days were a British industrial band, noted for their secretive performances during the 1980s. For a couple of years, they cooperated with Laibach performed together with concerts. The band that consciously left little mark, deliberately avoiding releasing their material and kept a limit on their live performances, they also had a very low profile though it was increased briefly after the Laibach collaborations.<ref=MelodyMaker/> Most people attending their concerts had little very idea who they were, simply enticed along by the ambiguous posters or simply a night out.
The concerts themselves were often lasting through the night (with a mixture of music and movies), up to 7AM and not quite easiest sort music to be listening too either. They made heavy use of megaphones, guitars often played with broken bottles, drum unrelenting and brutal, delivering rather harsh and bewildering but occasionally rhythmic apocalyptic music. The three main members were Daniel Landin (aka Stan Bingo or D. Styme), a Throbbing Gristle roadie who later built on a career as a cinematographer; Si Joyce (aka Si Gross); and Keir Wahid (aka K. Warhead & K. Fraser). They were regularly helped out by Fritz Haaman (aka Fritz Catlin) who also performed with Laibach during the joint tour, and occasionally by Sam Mills, both members of 23 Skidoo (band).[1]
After the limited-edition tape Laibach/Last Few Days, the band moved on to record only two LP records: Too Much is Not Enough (Touch, 1986) and Pure Spirit and Saliva (Dead Man's Curve, 1986).Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
