Courtney Love helped The Last Dinner Party censor ‘Nothing Matters’ lyrics for radio
The Last Dinner Party have revealed that Courtney Love helped advise them on how to censor their ‘Nothing Matters’ lyrics for radio.The original version of the quintet’s debut single has a chorus where vocalist Abigail Morris sings: “and I will fuck you, like nothing matters.”On the radio and during recent TV performances on The Graham Norton Show in the UK and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Stateside, they changed the word “fuck” to “have”.Speaking to Music Week, Morris revealed how Love advised them on changing the lyric when meeting them at a festival.“We met her at The Great Escape and at the time we were in agony over what on earth we were going to use instead of [the F-word] because that’s the whole point,” Morris said.“After the show she stormed up the dressing room stairs saying, ‘I’ve got it!’ She had an empty packet of painkillers and she’d scrawled ‘punch’ on there.“She was kinda pitching to us. We were like, ‘Yeah, thanks!’ We appreciated her passion.”Elsewhere in the same interview, Morris expressed the band’s love for Florence + The Machine, who they supported at a 2023 gig and who recently told the band that they were the winners of BBC Radio 1’s Sound Of 2024 poll.“Florence Welch was someone we spoke to who really made an impact on us,” Morris said.

Listen to The Last Dinner Party’s empowering new single ‘Caesar On A TV Screen’
The Last Dinner Party have dropped a theatrical new single, titled ‘Caesar On A TV Screen’. Check it out below.Shared earlier today (January 4), the new track precedes the release of the forthcoming debut album, ‘Prelude To Ecstasy’, and sees the indie five-piece channel inspiration from one of Shakespeare’s tragedies.Their first new music of 2024, ‘Caesar On A TV Screen’ captures the same charisma that first put the band on the map – with a blend of rock and pop touches and a colourful sense of theatricality.“Just for a second, I can be one of the greats/ I’ll be Caesar on a TV screen, Champion of my fate/ No one can tell me to stop, I’ll have everything I want/ Anyone and everyone will like me then,” frontwoman Abigail Morris sings in the chorus, as the band channel their inner Shakespearean actors for the music video.Check out the track below.The new track arrives ahead of The Last Dinner Party’s long-awaited debut album, ‘Prelude To Ecstasy’ (pre-order/pre-save here).Set to arrive on February 2 via Island Records, the much-hyped London band and NME 100 alumni first teased their first LP last year, and it’ll also feature previously shared singles ‘Nothing Matters’, ‘Sinner’, ‘My Lady Of Mercy’ and ‘On Your Side’.“Ecstasy is a pendulum which swings between the extremes of human emotion, from the ecstasy of passion to the sublimity of pain, and it is this concept which binds our album together,” the band said of the new album.“This is an archeology of ourselves; you can exhume our collective and individual experiences and influences from within its fabric.
