Amidst the breakup of Rites of Spring in 1986, three of its four members - Picciotto, Janney and Canty - went on to form a new band after picking up Michael Hampton, former guitarist of Faith and Embrace. With the name One Last Wish the band began playing shows in August of 1986, which were mostly in the D.C. area and included a series of benefit shows. Their sole recording was done in November of 1986 at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, VA. It was engineered by Don Zientara and produced by Ian Mackaye, who Canty and Picciotto would later join in the band Fugazi. One Last Wish broke up shortly after mixing was completed, and as a result the album was not released until 13 years later in November of 1999, on Mackaye's Dischord Records label. Prior to this release of this record, titled "1986," only one single, "Burning in the Undertow," had been released, having been on the Dischord benefit sampler "State of the Union" (April 1989). After the band's breakup, Picciotto, Janney and Canty would reunite with Michael Fellows of Rites of Spring, taking on the new name Happy Go Licky. Hampton would go on to form the band Manifesto. There is also a ballet called The Rite of Spring. ...
