Last Call - 2 albums: Boogie Witcha' / 10

Bass, Contrabass – R.C. Stock; Drums – Steve Wouters; Guitar – Luke Alexander; Vocals, Harp, Accordion – Henk Van Der Sypt.

Last Call is considered to be one of the three best blues bands from Belgium. As a matter of fact they tour regularly in Italy, Germany and they even went to Jamaica. You might call them a blues band, but that doesn't cover their self penned music. All southern states of the US gives them inspiration, so expect large pinches of cajun, zydeco and tex-mex as well. This gives a distinctive flavor to the band's sound. And when they are on stage it's cookin'. A first-rate blues & roots combo with a strong live album! From boogies, grooves reminiscent of '60s acid jazz, New Orleans style r&b, straight blues and latino rock la Los Lobos: they can do it all their own way.

Over the past years there is a real blues boom in Belgium: three very promising young bands appeared in that period. Last Call is considered to be one of the best blues bands. This is certainly true after The Electric Kings (also on MW Records) ceased to exist. Last Call is not just a blues band. Their unique style is a well balanced mixture of blues, cajun,tex-mex and other music from the southern part of the US, melting into a steamy, catchy and versatile pot of self penned songs.

Last Call started in 1993 and has been a support to many an American band since then: Debbie Davis, Byther Smith and Luther Guitar Jr.. They were invited to tour in France, Italy and even Qatar! In 1995 they received the Tamine Blues Award, an award from the French speaking partof Belgium for the best Belgian blues band. In 1996 Last Call released their debut album Call of the wild on MW Records (MWCD 2022) and it immediately caught the attention of Belgian and Dutch journalists alike, hailing the band as one of the more innovative representatives of blues music. As on their new album, this first album was not a strict blues album. The band has always been very creative in combining blues with other musical styles from the southern states ofthe USA.
Over the last three years the band has been on almost any stage and festival in the Benelux and they have gained quite a following in Germany and most notably Italy, where they did several tours. The catchy presentation of leadsinger frontman Henk van der Sypt (who also plays diatonic accordeon and harmonica) never fails to set the audience on fire.
