Wake up to the real deal.

That's right dames & fellas, we've got shirts. We're gonna have an astounding 10 shirts for sale at the M$M/Hostage Life show tonight, and they're ghetto as hell, so they'll be very reasonably priced. We're talking VERY reasonably. Like go and sell both of your Hawthorne Heights CDs for $4 each and you can afford one. It's a good move.
Designed & handcrafted by Emmanuel & myself while listening to Kill the Musicians and eating Kettleman's. It was a delightful afternoon. Random sizes, white & yellow, occasional smudge-marks.
Limited edish. New designs for the next show.

LC vs. M$M & more

Ya, I know that's a picture of RKL and not Last Communion, but I'm not at home and there's no scan of the upcoming show flyer yet, so here's what you get. A killer old shot of one of the greatest bands of all time. RIP Jason, Bomer and Derrick.
Anyhow, we're playing our first non-End Hits show this week with our pals the Million Dollar Marxists, as well as Toronto's Hostage Life and a couple of other bands. It'll be followed by the weekly Rock N Roll Pizza Party at which Emmanuel and I (Dave) will be sharing Emmanuel's usual DJ spot. It should be swell.
The show is all ages and starts at like dinner time or something, so why not just come on out. You'll be home nice and early, probably. We might even have actual shirts at this show, although chances are we're gonna make like 10 of them and only sell 2 or 3...if we're lucky. May 24th @ Babylon. $7, I do believe. It starts at 6 or 7. Hopefully 7.
In other news, even after numerous attempts to pin down a date to record, we have not pinned down a date to record. It's happening in June. That's for goddamned sure. Then hopefully we can weasel our way onto to some out of town shows.
In related news, Handsome Hayden Menzies will be showing his art at Artguise on Bank St. starting May 25th. Get on down there and spend some of your parents' money. This shit is genius. Also, METZ (featuring LC rhythm wizards Hayden and Chuckington Saso) will be playing at this year's NXNE festival in Toronto on June 7th. A guaranteed ass-shaker.

We thought we had it sussed.

After the Bouncing Souls/Strike Anywhere/The Loved Ones/Static Radio NJ show last night End Hits Records hosted an afterparty featuring the one and only Last Communion opening for a visibly exhausted but stoked-as-hell Loved Ones. The show was the fucking best time ever and we played what was undoubtedly our best set so far. Immediately afterwards, Hayden even vomited on the street, like a hobo. He was that excited...or that full of Kettleman's.
Mad thanks to End Hits again and to everyone who came out, and especially to The Loved Ones for making a lot of dudes' and chicks' night. Killer times. They were super nice dudes who were insanely appreciative about borrowing our gear. I was pumped to get to hang with Dave Hause and Dav from The Loved Ones/The Explosion (picture #3 up there) and Hayden even got to seriously nerd it up drum-style with TLO's Mike Sneeringer as pictured in last last shot above.
Nothing too exciting on the horizon just yet, but I think we're gonna try and swing some Toronto and Montreal shit soon enough, so check back with regularity.

Here's a video of us covering Husker Du's "The Girl Who Llives On Heaven Hill". It was immediately after this that Hayden hit the streets for a good purging. Thanks to the lovely Jessica Gilmore for recording it. What a fox.

Oh ya, check out the Red Dons. They're the new Observers band and they fucking destroy.

Take the manic ride.

So it looks like we got a somewhat ambiguous review in Toronto's 'EXCLAIM!' newspaper concerning our performance at the End Hits birthday bash. Did the dude who wrote it actually like our band? Who knows? Also, who gives a fuck? We're actually pretty pumped about it. We fucking destroyed that show and apparently did some serious aural damage at the same time. That's all we can hope for, isn't it? Some other bands played that day, too.
We're gonna try and line up some more rad shit for the summer months and hopefully put our collection of 2-minute masterpieces to tape, as well. It'll be a mind-bomb, naturally.
There's some Last Communion artwork in the works c/o our handsome friends at Doublenaut, so I'll post some of that shit when it's ready to roll. We should have some rudimentary merch at some point, too.
Until then, listen to Blitz, watch Pick of Destiny and save your pennies for our swag.

Something that may never come to you.

Yes, it's true, we covered 'Disconnected' by Face to Face. A risky move? Perhaps. The payoff? Mediocre at best. The 3 dudes singing along were pretty pumped, though. Orphan Choir were radical and seeing old Jim Meloche again was a lovely little treat, especially for Emmanuel who still gets misty-eyed at the mention of anything Windsor-related, particularly the rub & tugs. One time I got a Dirtbombs CD at Dr. Disc in Windsor for like $1 or something.
We're playing at End Hits yet again this Saturday, as we are now the End Hits house band. When it inevitably becomes an Irish pub we will regale you with Spirit of the West covers and perhaps a saucy rendition of 54-40's 'Ocean Pearl'. Until then you'll have to deal with anthemic punk jams.
Saturday March 10th, End Hits Anniversary Party. Be there at noon-ish or something.
Paul Galipeau is the fucking man. It's not up for debate.

One down.

So the first show was killer, no surprise there. Mostly thanks to Lords, of course. Good dudes who made us look a touch inadequate. Regardless, it was a rad time. We've got another spectacle planned for the 4th of March with Windsor's Orphan Choir and it should be just lovely. We've also got the End Hits birthday party the following weekend, so you should try and make it out to at least one of those. Capice?

Lords of Louisville.

It is a go. Last Communion will be playing its first show at everyone's favourite little record nook End Hits on January 28th. Oh ya, and the mighty Lords will be headlining. Bring some cash and buy their record Swords. It's a total mindblow. LastComm won't have any merch or anything, but we'll throw some shit together for consumption in the near future. Sunday, Jan 28th. 7pm. $8. Oh snap.
