The Last Dinner Party covered a Lana Del Rey classic at the Hammersmith Apollo.During the final night of their three-night Hammersmith Apollo residency on October 19, the band performed a rousing cover of ‘Ride’ from 2012’s ‘Born To Die – The Paradise Edition’, as well as a rendition of Chris Isaak’s ‘Wicked Game’ earlier in the night.It comes after the band recently released ‘Prelude To Ecstasy: Acoustics and Covers’, which they previewed with their version of Sparks’ ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough For The Both Of Us’, and elsewhere on their UK tour have performed ‘Nothing Matters’ in Simlish.Check out fan-shot footage of ‘Ride’ their cover below.The Last Dinner Party reminding us that Ride is indeed the best “big” Lana song pic.twitter.com/NpkK0Oyd2x— Poppie Platt (@poppieplatt) October 19, 2024the last dinner party covering ‘ride’ by lana del rey in london…. don’t talk to me pic.twitter.com/3sM8SxWhmV— amika (@paprikamusix) October 21, 2024‘Burn Alive’‘Caesar on a TV Screen’‘Second Best’‘Beautiful Boy’‘Wicked Game’ (Chris Isaak cover)‘On Your Side’‘Gjuha’‘Sinner’‘Portrait of a Dead Girl’‘The Feminine Urge’‘Mirror’‘Big Dog’‘My Lady of Mercy’Encore:‘The Killer’‘Ride’ (Lana Del Rey cover)‘Nothing Matters’Queen‘s Brian May was in attendance at one of their other Eventim Apollo gigs last week (October 16), and went on to share post of himself with former NME cover stars, dubbing them “the new British Rock Royalty“.Elsewhere, the band recently spoke to NME at the 2024 Mercury Prize, and discussed their approach to building a “sense of community” among their fans.
