I love “One last …” stories. It’s an opportunity for the book series, tv show, etc. to take one last look at the journey the characters have been on and wrap up any loose story threads. I especially love it when musical artists do this, “Give Us Rest” by davidcrowder*band and “Abbey Road” by The Beatles both come to mind as excellent examples of an artist knowing their story was coming to an end and giving us one last hurrah. I hope you guys have enjoyed this story and enjoy the last studio album from No Name Face. Goodbye After years of exhaustive touring No Name Face once again imploded, though this time in a much more amicable manner. Jeff Newsworth and Nathan Turner left to pursue other projects and spend more time with family respectively. This left lone original member Andrew Webber and relatively new guitarist Steven Franks as the only remaining members of the band.
Andrew talked to David Moon about maybe doing one last album, for old times’ sake. Moon agreed and helped recruit old band mates Alexander Gramm and Denny Owens for the project. With members spanning every iteration of the band they went into the studio for one last time. The good news was after years of rest and therapy Andrew’s voice was finally back in singing condition and he gleefully stepped to the microphone strapped with his old bass with addition vocal contributions from Alexander Gramm, Steve Franks and Chris Peltz. Everyone hit on all cylinders during the recording, and even though this exact lineup had never played together there was still a sense of comradery and adventure that had been missing from the past several albums. After recording they hit the road for one last tour. Andrew Webber – Vocals, Bass, Keys Steven Franks – Vocals, Guitar Alexander Gramm – Vocals, Guitar, Keys, Programming Denny Owens – Drums
