Out of the Gutter – Exclusive The Last Word album and gig news.
By Chance Mullet

PARAGON punksters The Last Word have announced that their eagerly anticipated debut album is to be entitled Greetings from the Gutter.

After a series of acclaimed live appearances and band member Dee Dee Diablo attracting personality maulings in the media that money can’t buy, the release date for the album has finally been unveiled as November 30 just as interest in the band is reaching fever pitch.

And more exciting than even that, after several weeks locked in the studio, The Last Word are to play an one off gig at the Comet Club, Galaxy City, on October 31, to showcase classic album in waiting Greetings from the Gutter.

As well as the Word’s anthems and fan favourites Slip of the Tongue, Turmoil, Chemical Burn, Mother’s Ruin and The Place Where You Are, the band have announced that they will play live for the first time four new tracks written especially for the album.

Diablo said: “This album is really a journey. It was important that we included the songs we are known for as they mean a lot to us as a band. But in the last six months I feel I’ve grown both as a person and a songwriter, and these new tracks reflect that. Hopefully our fans will come to love these songs just as much as stuff like Slip of the Tongue; and if they don’t they can always go **** themselves and listen to Avril Lavigne.”

The titles of these new tracks have been confirmed as Crucifixion Anxiety, Gimme Hell, Mrs Loverboy and Intravenous Redux. The latter is surely The Last Word’s touted reworking of Dead Birthday Clown’s breakthrough hit Intravenous, which the Clown’s front androgyne Ethan Ink recently confessed was penned by Diablo during her brief stint with the band.

Before their hiatus, fans had seen the band appear with a depleted line up, and there are rumours that new Last Word members will make their debuts alongside the band’s backbone of Lady C, Diablo and Alice Springs.

Guest appearances by punk queen Suzi White, who has been working in the studio with The Last Word recently, and Diablo’s special friend Nene MacAllister, of Nene and the Nines fame, have also been rumoured but not confirmed.

The gig takes place on Wednesday, October 31, at 7pm. Tickets are available from The Comet Club, Divinyl Sounds outlets, and the Paragon University student welfare office in Steel Canyon.

An advert has been running in Stigma Magazine for a couple of weeks:

Girl guitarist and wanted for up and coming hardcore/punk band.
Attitude as important as ability.
If interested text **** ******.

((There is a vacancy for a guitarist/s in The Last Word. We could go with an npc but ideally I’m looking for a good character/roleplayer to join the band.
IC: The character will be female, between 18 and 26, and have a punk rock attitude as well as exceptional musical ability specialising in the guitar. Being a hero or villain isn’t really an issue, but with four heroes in the band it’s unlikely they would hire a high profile or overt villain.
OOC: There aren’t many requirements to joining. Ideally you will be a good roleplayer that gets on with the other members. The Last Word don’t team up in game very often, so you will be free to do you own thing. All I ask is that the character is used enough to keep in touch with the other members and try to attend band events like hell Night on Weds. It is assumed that the characters meet regularly to rehearse, perform, record and socialise. I also need to be able to use characters in the write up of gigs, based on descriptions provided of how they behave and perform on stage.
You can find more details about the band at its members on the union roleplayers‘ wiki. Anyone interested can PM an IC text and an OOC introduction. The timeline is quite tight as I‘d like the new member in place for Hell Night.))

One Hell of a Night
Review of Hell Night concert by The Last Word plus support
Part One
By Chance Mullet.

“Never go back.” Whoever coined that phrase obviously didn’t pass on his wisdom to
The Last Word who chose their old stomping ground of the Comet Club in Galaxy City to finally unleash their much anticipated debut album on the world. The band, who’s following has been swelling over the past few months as much for their off stage antics as their music, could have filled a venue twice the size. But for this self-confessed fan boy, who first heard the band make a raucous, drunken Friday night crowd stop fighting and ****ing each other long enough to witness the fiery statement of intent Slip of the Tongue eight months ago, there is no better venue for Paragon’s riot girls.

The venue, the crumbling walls seemingly held together with the faded posters of the hundreds of bands that have played there, was packed to capacity. The Hellion element usually dominant in a The Last Word crowd was present but diminished. The band has picked up a legion of new fans among students and music fans, and there was a healthy smattering of heroes among the sea of flesh. But the underlying threat of violence at a The Last Word gig, swimming beneath the sweaty excitement like a tiger shark was as palpable as ever.

But there was something else; an unspoken challenge to Diablo and company to put their money where their loud, dirty mouths are and deliver the album we all hope they are capable of.

But before The Last Word took to stage the crowd were given a tasty appetiser giving a hint that the night was going to be something special.

As the lights on stage came up for the opening act, the crowd gasped as Suzi White, star singer formerly of the Gothic Overtones stalked confidently to centre-stage. Dressed completely in white leather, from boots to long trenchcoat, she took the mic like she was embracing an old friend and without any hesitation, belted out a stunningly original version of the Rolling Stones classic Paint It Black. Her ethereal voice giving the lyrics a fresh potency as she made the song her own.

For the barest instant, it seemed as though the crowd was actually stunned by the performance as she finished, causing a half-second pause before the audience gave a rapturous response. As the music began for the next song, a hush once more descended as Suzi sang a previously unheard new number called Beyond The Dark.

A dark and heavy bassline gave the song plenty of rock appeal, but White’s soaring, hauntingly melodic voice wove pure magic into the number. If this song is anything to judge by, Ms White has grown still further as a singer and songwriter, and her next album, which the rumormill says is currently being written, will indeed be something to eagerly await.

White obviously subscribes to the motto “leave them begging for more”, leaving the crowd awestruck by her two powerful numbers, and very much ready for the main event as she said a simple thank you, bowed deeply just once and walked off stage.

The stage remained in darkness for several moments. Long enough for the crowd to get restless and vocal. Then from the darkness came one of the most familiar baselines of the last five years. The crowd seemed confused at hearing the opening Dead Birthday Clown’s Intravenous. Then the baseline stuttered and stopped. And started again before stuttering again. For many, this reviewer included, it seemed like the gig was going to come off the rails before it had really begun. Questions about the girls’ hard living lifestyle were raised in the mind before a single spotlight illuminated Dee Dee Diablo in the centre of the stage. Trademark low-slung leather trousers and even lower slung five-string bass in place.

“I never liked how that ****ing song started anyway,” she said to the audience. “This is how it’s supposed to sound.”

She launched into a thrashing, kinetic baseline that seemed to gut punch every member of the crowd. The stage lights came up and Alice Springs added thunder to thunder with her own brand of drumming by way of a machine gun.

Alice wore her traditional outfit of baggy blue jeans and suede red leather jacket, which is starting to look more and more battered with each performance. Her trademark wrap-around shades, as ever, keeping her eyes hidden away.

The Last Word has always had one of the tightest rhythm engines in Diablo and Springs, from the off they raised their game to a new level with a sound that shook the building to its foundations.

The band’s new additions create a more striking overall stage presence. The Last Word always looked like a bunch that would start a bar fight – now they look like they’re capable of finishing it.

Former Human Alternative fronter Nathalie Brissaud is an imposing figure, dressed in a revealing top, Freddy Kruger red and black striped tights, leather mini-skirt and knee-length boots. She was obviously happy with her newfound band as she radiated a palpable pleasure to be on stage. Taking Hell Night more literally than the rest of the band, she had decked out her keyboards in pumpkins and stylised flying witches and cobwebs.

She played a pivotal link throughout the night, performing complex solos between songs and for an extended period when Diablo and Lady C decided to put in drinks orders with the bar staff at about the halfway point of the gig.

The other new gun was billed simply as Silvia. The guitarist, who appears to have undergone extensive body modifications and tattooing to give her a feline appearance, held her own against the more experienced members of the band. Diablo seemed to square up to her a few times, and given her labelling guitarists as “on stage masturbators” it remains to be seen whether the red-haired thrasher will last longer than previous on stage masturbator Lance Simmons.

When the band beating out the well-known refrain of Slip of the Tongue, a faint tone could be heard above the music, steadily growing in intensity. Desiree Bell, preferring to go by the name Lady C these days, entered the stage howling her presence into the microphone. She boldly strode to the edge of the stage, still keeping that high-pitched note, where she stood in a defiant stance as if to dare the audience to storm the stage. She paused, seemingly takes great pleasure from the massive pounding from the abused speakers. She caressed herself and the microphone as the band turned the intensity up to eleven. When it seemed the speakers couldn’t take any more punishment, Lady C threw the microphone into the crowd and starts to sing.

It takes balls to open a gig with what amounts to a cover version. Even bigger balls to play a song synonymous with a more successful band. But the girls of The Last Word have balls as big as boulders, and they have them pressed firmly to the wall of rock.

Almost unrecognisable from Dead Birthday Clown’s Intravenous, The Last Word’s Intravenous Redux is a boneshaking, heartstring tearing account of desperation and dependence. Stripped of the original’s emo angst, the lyrics takes on a new resonance when Lady C blasts them out with equal measures of self awareness and loathing.

The doctor says you’re killing me
But he don’t understand how you’re thrilling me
Getting more of you is how I spend every waking day
Only a fool can’t see the scars of needing you
Every breath that wants to be breathing you
But you’re the only thing that takes the pain away.


Without a second the band roll into one of the most recognisable intros from the past few months. A raucous cheer erupted in the audience as they recognised Slip of the Tongue. This is the band’s anthemic rollercoaster and tonight everyone wanted a ride. Backed by a relentless baseline and frenetic guitar, Lady C tells the now familiar tale of a one-night stand who wants to be something more. The crowd sand along to every word, competing with the vocal power of Lady C herself when it came to the hook:

What we did was fun
Won’t say it was wrong
But you and me, honey
Was a slip of the tongue.


And the ride didn’t stop there, with The Last Word ripping through Chemical Burn, Turmoil and Other Side of the Street. The dirty, frenetic bass of Diablo and the chugga-chugga guitar of Silvia grounded by the melodic platform of Brissaud’s keyboards.

If the gig had stopped there it would have been a triumphant kick in the balls to announce the band’s album. But The Last Word aren’t into half measures, and the latter half of the gig raised the stakes with new material and reworkings of two of the band’s most respected songs.

One Hell of a Night
Review of Hell Night concert by The Last Word plus support
Part Two
By Chance Mullet


The second half of Hell Night began with a stream of overlapping news reports beneath a wavering hum of radio static. Diablo leant into her mic with the swaggering confidence of the rock icon she is fast becoming. And with switchblade syntax she speaks the opening of The Last Word’s first all new song of the night, Crucifixion Anxiety

“It’s crucifixion week on Channel 69
Now a word from our sponsors
**** you!”

With the expletive, Diablo’s partner in crime Lady C joined her on stage. By the time she reached the centre, The Last Word rock engine was firing on all cylinders and she wailed out the first new lyrics from the band in months:

Once bitten, shame on you
Twice bitten, **** you too

Latest victim of your persecution
Here I am, this week’s crucifixion
Roll up, come on, come and see the show.
A two faced, broken girl, a silent rodeo

Here’s the subject of this week’s new inquiry
Tie your words in knots, but you’ll never bind me.
The truth hurts, but hell’s for you
Don’t ya know, the devil always gets her due.

Dear lord here I am, it’s my darkest hour
Would you forgive me, if it was in your power
A prayer from a fallen angel in the world of men.
But ****er you dealt this hand - and I’d do it all again.


It doesn’t take a genius to work out this song is Diablo’s right to reply to the recent mauling she took in the New Paragon Inquirer. But lines like “Momma you failed me/Hurt more than the ****ers that nailed me” and the repeated word “crucifixion” in the chorus suggest that there are more demons are being exorcised in the song.

The tone then changed dramatically. Past the halfway mark, it was time for the keyboards of Nathalie Brissaud to take the lead. A lighter, bouncy tone, almost straying into pop, was the order of the day. But despite the tone, the song Mrs Loverboy might end up being the band’s most controversial yet. The lyrics tell the story of a girl tired of her relationship who finds new excitement and satisfaction in the arms and bed of an older woman. The track is permeated with recordings of two women at the height of ecstasy, raising the obvious question of whether the moans and gasps belong to Diablo and her rumoured lover Nene McAllister. The song features the most explicit description of two women being intimate this reviewer has ever heard, and I subscribe to several gentlemen’s magazines and websites. With Diablo in particular having a strong following among teenage girls, one wonders if the band has gone too far and given critics another arrow to fire at them. But the band seem to welcome controversy like Michael Jackson welcomes pre-pubescent boys to sleepovers; and a The Last Word song that doesn’t offend someone is unimaginable:

You say that you love me
But your mom knows how to touch me
In places you can’t even find
Could show you how to **** me
Three minutes that won’t come back to me
You’re in my bed, she’s on my mind

You showed me what it means when they say love hurts
Only thing we have in common is ****ing things in skirts
You gave me STDs, she gave me joy
So ‘til you can be a better man, she’ll be my loverboy


Gimme Hell has the same anthemic quality of fan favourite Slip of the Tongue. A diatribe against Diablo’s perceived evils of the world. Another high-octane hit, with Silvia let off the leash to perform gritty guitar solos and play a game of one-up-womanship with Diablo’s pace-setting bass.

At this point, Diablo took off her famous skull n crossbones vest and wiped it across her brow and threw it into the crowd for a future e-Bay sale no doubt. And for the first time the reviewer noticed that, in her black leather bra, this is a leaner more ripped Diablo than we’ve ever seen and there were several whoops of approval for her honed, inked physique.

Now, Mother’s Ruin is a song that divides The Last Word fans. Some think it is indulgent and lacks the musical hard edge of their other work. Others, this reviewer included, think it’s one of the ballsiest, emotion wrenching songs ever written and destined to be a future classic.

Suzi White returned to the stage, sensationally dressed in a stylish red dress and with bright red hair to join with The Last Word for Mother‘s Ruin. The crowd seemed to really appreciate Suzi’s homage to Dee Dee in the notable change of style, and again the excitement lifted to a new high as the opening bars began.

With Suzi on acoustic guitar and Dee on vocals this could have been The Last Word being self-indulgent but there was one hell of a surprise in store.

Backed by Silvia’s haunting guitar and Brissaud’s dark toned keyboards, Diablo sang the song with a desolate, dirty emotion. Not content with this, White’s distinctive vocals added new layers to the words that seemed to resonate throughout the venue like a rumour. The story of abandonment, betrayal, broken families and wasted lives hit harder than ever before, causing a few tears to be shed. And spontaneously, several members of the crowd produced copies of The New Paragon Inquirer magazine with Diablo on the cover. And with neither collusion nor discussion, they set light to them, releasing them to float into the air in an impromptu pyrotechnic show.

And then the band added a twist, cranking up the volume and energy to give the song a new rock out ending that saw the queen of alt rock White hold her own with the purple-haired pretender to the throne of punk.

Diablo seemed drained by the performance, just muttering a thank you and nodding her appreciation to the former Gothic Overtones front woman.

Lady C rejoined the band on stage, accompanied by the second guest performer of the night Nene McAllister.

Nene, vocalist and guitarist of her band The Nines, arrived on stage with her usual black 1980 Lead Fender 2 slung over her shoulder, her brown hair done in a slightly tussled and fluffy manner. The recent Capes magazine covergirl was dressed in loose fitting black hipster jeans, with a PVC halterneck top on that showed off a fair amount of pale skin and cleavage.

Nene hugged Diablo and the pair exchanged a few brief whispers before the assembled musicians fired up the Word’s perennial showstopper Place Where You Are. The rock ballad pre-amble was dispensed with, the band preferring to launch into the cacophony of noise that they regular unleash to bring the house down at the end of the night. Lady C’s vocal gymnastics were bolstered with the very different voices of McAllister, White and Diablo to create a sound that just shouldn’t have worked - but by hell it did. This reviewer stopped counting when the song had run into its eighteenth minute with nobody, either on stage or off, wanting it to end.

But end it did, with The Last Word proving that all the hype was justified and raising hopes that they can bottle thunder by capturing a fraction of what they can do on stage on the Greetings from the Gutter album.

As the band say themselves say in Other Side of the Street: “For us lying in the gutter, the only way out is up”.

((News report breaking on several city news websites and the radio))

POLICE were called to a Galazy City nightclub tonight just moments after controversial rock band The Last Word left the stage.
A PPD spokesman said that the body of a man had been found as the audience left the Comet Club just after 8.30pm.
Police have not identified the man but say they are treating the death as suspicious.
Bar manager Abbie Rhodes, daughter of club owner Ron "Rocky" Rhodes, said: "We still don't know what has happened but I'm sure that it was just an accident. Apart from the dude dying, and some trivial stuff like a lost hairbrush and faulty mic, the show was a great succes. The busiest night we've had in years."

((Characters leaving the venue may have seen the police arrive and could even remember a man in a cheap child's Halloween zombie mask slumped at the bar.))

All that being said, was a good night, some good costumes, and got to see people I rarely ever get to.))

CONCERT DEATH MAN NAMED

THE man found dead at last night’s The Last Word concert in Galaxy City has been named by Paragon Police Department.
Herman Constanza, 38, of Kirby Way, Marvelsdale, had been reported missing on Tuesday by his wife Barbara.
Speaking from their home today, Mrs Constanza said that attending a rock concert at a nightclub was completely out of character for her husband who was a devoted father to their two sons.
His body was found between 8.30pm and 8.40pm, just after controversial band The Last Word had left the stage.
Paragon Police Department spokesman Chuck Randle said that Mr Constanza had been stabbed multiple times and the police were investigating the possibility that he had been killed several hours before his body was found before being moved to the Comet Club.
Mr Randle added that Mr Constanza was wearing a Zany Zombie Halloween mask, which is available at outlets throughout Paragon City.
Police and paramedics were called to the Comet Club again at 11.35pm when a woman in her twenties was struck down by a mystery illness.
The woman, believed to be Abbie Rhodes, the daughter of club owner and former boxer Ron “Rocky” Rhodes, was rushed to hospital where she is being treated.
Dee Dee Diablo, of The Last Word, was seen arriving at the hospital in the early hours of this morning.

CLUB OWNER’S DAUGHTER DIES AFTER BATTLE WITH MYSTERY ILLNESS

THE family of a young woman who died this morning have paid tribute to her spirit after a short battle with a mystery illness.
Abbie Rhodes, 23, died at 11am this morning less than 36 hours after being rushed to hospital after contracting what doctors called an aggressive and unidentified illness.
Miss Rhodes, the daughter of Comet Club owner Ron “Rocky” Rhodes had been working backstage at controversial band The Last Word’s Hell Night concert on Wednesday night. Shortly after the concert at the Comet Club, Galaxy City, she fell ill and her condition rapidly worsened.
An insider at the hospital said that a representative of MAGI and The Last Word member Dee Dee Diablo were among those that visited Miss Rhodes in hospital.
Speaking outside the hospital, Mr Rhodes said: “Abbie was an angel, she would help anyone who needed it and touched the lives of everyone she met. She had a pure spirit and love for life and will be missed by us all.”
He refused to comment on whether MAGI had visited the hospital and said it was not appropriate to talk about rumours of curses or foul play.
Paragon Police Department spokesman Chuck Randle said that police were treating the death as suspicious and inquiries are ongoing.
