ALWAYS LAST to tour with BACKYARD SURGEONS in September 2010

Hello people! We will be going on a short tour with BACKYARD SURGEONS from Australia in September! They will be on their South East Asian tour and we'll help them out for the Malaysian, Singaporean and MAYBE Indonesian dates. We will update more about the tour when all is confirmed. Here's a brief description about the band:

"Backyard Surgeons play a brand of fast, melodic punk rock similar to A Wilhelm Scream but with a slightly more mid-90's skate punk feel. (Think Pulley)"

So What The Hell Happened To Always Last?

Yup, so what the happened happened to us? well, nothing much really. the band is busy with their own projects and stuff like that.

Min recorded and released a CD with his new-school hardcore band, THY REGIMENT and played a bunch of shows promoting their record. You can check THY REGIMENT at http://www.myspace.com/thyregiment7 and we heard he is now started to focus on recording with his other punk rock band, SKUNKFIX. We did told you he is a drum machine right? Check out SKUNKFIX at http://www.myspace.com/skunkfix. He also plays with KIDS ON THE MOVE once in a while.

Bulat recently got married, and recently got busy with his side project, PARTIMELOVERS. If you're tired of the same old, same old punk rock, PARTIMELOVERS is definitely a band worth checking out. Definitely recommended for those who love shoegaze rock or something like that. check 'em out at http://www.myspace.com/partimelovers and guess what, his wife is pregnant now! yeay!

Shah finally started working but quit his job after 2 and a half months and now working somewhere else. He recently got busy running a small DIY punk distro/record label that is owned by his girlfriend, called Cellulite Records. His other band (THE MINDLESS SHOW) also just recently released a split tape with another local punk rock band called Gasoline Grenade. Check out TMS at http://www.myspace.com/themindlessshow and also Cellulite Records at http://celluliterecords.wordpress.com

Tobek, shares the common affection for the band Dillinger Four with our friend, Buyeng and jams to D4 sometimes him. Recently formed a Weezer cover band with the fine boys from PARTIMELOVERS and TOXICTOY.

Rice Above!

We were just added for playing fourth installment of Rice Above!, that happens on Tuesdays everyweek! As posted by Joe Kidd via Facebook:

"Rice Above! #04! Get ready for Tuesday next week! We have CRIMESCENE, ALWAYS LAST, FREYGYLE, KELADAK aaannndddd,.. hopefully,... SILENT DEATH!! Mari menari!"

Always Last NOT playing Theoretical Chaos!

"We are very-very sorry to inform that ALWAYS LAST will not be able to make it for tomorrow's show. This is because Tobek was injured during the Bad Omen show last weekend. It's got something to do with his back. Me and Napi (The Korok) brought him to the hospital and did the X-Ray and luckily nothing really bad happened, but still haven't recovered. We're very sorry Duan, Dean and friends but I will still be going to the show tomorrow! See you there!"

-Shah-

latest updates from Dean:

this just in. tomorrow’s gig is on!

FORTE will replace always last. Forte is a new band made up of Virginia On Duty line-ups and friends. I suppose they play screamo, but I don’t know for sure. Come and see for yourself!

SHALLOW DANCE am going to replace infinite delay. the line-up got sick and being a student sucks (especially during exam/thesis submission period!). An equal replacement I must say. SD is surely and underrated technical grind monster!

QUANTIS is a new band made up of line-ups of Utarid, Kias Fansuri, and Merkuri. FIRST SHOW EVER! Based on what I’ve heard during their practise, damn, this is some good stuff, somewhere between Reversal of Man and Louise Cyphre.

What's new with ALWAYS LAST?

We just recorded one new song that will be featured in a compilation called "3 Chords Goes 80's", will be released by Nervhous Records. The song is still in a raw format and haven't been mixed yet. It will be done by Akmal (TIM). The compilation is a project of a bunch of local punk bands covering Malay songs from the 80's. Some of the bands that will be on it are such as Dum Dum Tak, Stick No Bill, Skunkfix, TIM and a bunch of others. Keep your eyes open on that one!

On the other note, Always Last will start recording our full length some time next week. The record is tentatively titled as "Antidotes". As for now we have like 13 songs ready. We are super stoked about recording them. We will try to put the updates on the recording here as frequent as we can.

OUT NOW! on Nervhous Records!

Our band/personal copies of the first "S/T" demo have already sold out but we got help from Nervhous Records who are willing to re-release this CD. So from now on, those who are interested can get a copy of this from Nervhous Records or you can get it at shows that we play. Thanks in advance!

Here is the tracklisting:

1. Intro
2. Theoritically Rhetoric is Pathetic
3. The Best Practices
4. Kalau Aku Pak Lah!
