A Fiery Debut for Last Drag at The Iron Horse Pub
Vernon's alternapunk trio sets the bar high as an opening act
It could be argued that the true measure of respect for a performer is how many other performers come out to see them play. If true, Vernon’s Last Drag announced their arrival on the Wichita Falls scene with an explosive debut at the Iron Horse Pub. Members of The Kept, Strange Lucy, Escape Goats, Hellen Bach, and many more showed up to watch Last Drag blow the doors open as the opening act for Baylor Rose, and everybody seemed to go away convinced—Last Drag slaps.
We saw Last Drag for the first time in the summer of 2025, at an outdoor gig at Vernon Parts, and we were immediately impressed with this trio of young performers playing alternative and punk numbers from the turn-of-the-millennium… Green Day, Yellowcard, Blink 182, STP and more.
Last Drag’s show brings tremendous energy, propulsive, guitar-driven hooks, and a double vocalist performance from guitarist Alvin Guerrero and bassist Kavian Montoya. All the while, skinsman Parker Flynn keeps time with powerful drumming that might just knock some cymbals loose. We saw that happen, but Last Drag didn’t miss a beat.
If you have good memories associated with the music that was popular a few years on either side of 2000, Last Drag is a band you don’t want to miss in a live setting.
