Last Place Champs are a 4 piece punk band hailing from Milwaukee Wisconsin. The band consists of Andy (drums), Richard (lead guitar), Dave (guitar and vocals), Jason (bass and vocals).
These guys are energetic and entertaining when they hit the stage. I've had the pleasure of seeing them play the Warped Tour and The Rave in Milwaukee, and both times they played their hearts out for the crowd and the crowd was totally into them. They've independently released an EP and a full length which you can currently get only at the shows. Not to worry you don't have to wait until they come to your town to hear their music! You can download "Cheer Up Emo Boy" and "Ebby McEbb" off of the Last Place Champs website. You can also download "The Opener" off of mp3.com. (You could also try Kazaa, but if you can, buy the CD because it is really good.)
LPC has played with some big name bands such as: Taking Back Sunday, Alkaline Trio, The Juliana Theory, The Movielife, Lucky Boys Confusion, as well as on the Drive-Thru stage for selected dates of Warped Tour 2002.
