The Last Goodnight to Perform at NCAA Div-II National Championship Game
CT Natives to Rock Out Following the Championship Game on March 29

March 29th the NCAA D-II Men’s Basketball Championship Game is slated to have national recording artist The Last Goodnight perform. The Connecticut based band is known for their debut radio hit single “Pictures of You”.

While writing and recording Poison Kiss, their major-label debut, The Last Goodnight realized their influences range from Ella Fitzgerald to Richard Ashcroft to Supertramp to Sly Stone to ELO to U2 to Massive Attack, Poison Kiss is impossible to pigeonhole. “It’s about vibe. We keep the spontaneity and adventure in every aspect,” singer Kurtis John explained.

The result of their influences is 12 cinematic, singular songs, rife with ‘80s musical references and classic rock influences, but with a modern resonance. Poison Kiss is piano-driven but guitar heavy, and at once rhythmic, lush and soulful. From the first single, “Pictures of You,” a collage of poignant and vivid vignettes, to the strident title track, where the sounds of crackling vinyl meshes with a melancholy but buoyant, layered vibe, Poison Kiss takes an emotional journey.

Tickets are now on sale for the NCAA D-II Men’s Basketball Elite Eight. Tickets for the NCAA Div-II Men’s Basketball Championship Game will also gain entry to the FanFest scheduled pre-game in the MassMutual Center Exhibition Hall and the post-game concert by The Last Goodnight.

Tickets are available at all Ticketmaster locations, the MassMutual Center Box Office and over the phone at 413.787.6600.
