jfitzsimmons — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:24:08 +0000

You have to read this whole article. Nicole Brors(Rock Angel) gave us a great review of our new album coming up. Read a snippet of it below:

The Perfect Little Noise from Last Night’s Vice is anything but little

Last Night’s Vice’s first full length album, due out August 27th may be called The Perfect Little Noise, but don’t be fooled…there’s nothing small about the sound of this music.

This St. Louis 5-piece rock band hits the scene with a power-packed album reminiscent of The Used and My Chemical Romance, but with an intensely refreshing energy. From the first track “Lock and Key” to the last track “The End is Near”, LNV takes you on a thrilling musical ride full of raging guitars, pounding percussion and incredible vocal diversity.

Absolute Punk Random Interview with Last Nights Vice

jfitzsimmons — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 17:51:21 +0000

Check out all 20 questions of the Random Interview by Jenny Tate of absolutepunk.net.

1…2…3…4…

5. If you were a furry, what animal would you be? Why that animal?
Brandon: I would be a fox. Why? A wise old Indian shaman sat down with me, helped me find my power animal. I thought he was full of shit, but it worked. It’s still probably bullshit, but I swear I saw a fox.
Andrew G.: If I were furry, I would be a skunk because nobody harasses a skunk and I don’t like being harassed.
Joe: A Panda. They always stumble around and look like they’re having fun.

6. Why should people listen to your band?
Brandon: People should listen to our music because…we made it for you. Seriously.
Andrew G.: People should listen to my band because it’s fun music with an edge. It will motivate you to get up and have fun. Try listening to it while driving; it will make you speed!
Chris: You won’t find another band like LNV, which is usually a goal of any artist. Our songs are pretty organic. We are a brand of pop rock that you don’t have to be embarrassed to listen to, similar to a lot of pop in the 80’s.

7. If you were chosen to be in Guitar Hero/Rock Band, what song would you want in the game? How hard do you think it would be to five-star on expert?
Brandon: POWER COSMIC. The solo is insane. It’s not even a real solo, its two solos. I doubt we could even play it on expert.
Andrew G.: If I were chosen to be in Guitar Hero/Rock Band, I would want RAGS TO RUINS in the game. Personally these are the most technical drums I’ve ever written for a song. If you listen closely, there are a lot of little things that I do to make the drums interesting. It would be pretty difficult for a 5-star expert but not impossible!
Chris: “Power Cosmic.” Interesting lead with creative harmonies to it. Sick guitar solo.
Joe: I think Gin and Tonic. I wrote a lot of the guitar lines last minute. I’m not even sure if I could play it.

8. If you won a Grammy, who would you thank?
Brandon: I would thank the trophy makers, the engravers and the raw material suppliers that provide all the material to make a Grammy. They never get a thank you. Ever.
Andrew G.: If I won a Grammy, I would thank my band, my mom, and the fans!
Chris: My dad, rock influences, and the kids that come out to the show.
Joe: Mom, Dad, Kim.

9. If you could change something about the music industry, what would it be?
Brandon: I would make it a tad easier to get your foot in the door, that’s for sure. I just wish people had more faith in their fellow man.
Andrew G.: If I could change something about the music industry, I would change the way that record labels sign bands. Most labels decide solely on the band’s ability to bring fans to a show and not how much talent they have. This industry is based exclusively on what sells.
Chris: No more American Idol. It is the single worst thing that has happened to music, especially pop music.
Joe: I would make it so music was cheaper and more accessible. I feel like artists have gotten that we aren’t going to grow up to be millionaires, now labels should figure that out too.

10. Memorable tour experience?
Brandon: Warped Tour 2002, I was sitting out back in Houston. I think and I was having a hot dog, talking to some girls…bit into the hot dog and found part of what I understand to be a human tooth. Strike one. Then the guys in NOFX walk by and stole my girls. Strike two. And the hot dog guy wouldn’t give me my money back. Strike three.
Andrew G.: My most memorable tour experience would have to have been our van breaking down in gang territory. Please see me in person to elaborate, it was some scary stuff!!!!
Chris:”The bowl of life.” Passing out in someone’s backyard in Kearney, Nebraska.
Joe: I remember playing in Kearney, Nebraska, and a bunch of people showed up singing our songs. I still don’t know how they had heard of us.

11. What does AP.net mean to you?
Brandon: I think it’s amazing in a world where music seems to be taking a back seat. It’s nice to have a place to go.
Andrew G.: AP.NET=AWESOME…Here’s why: It’s a free spirited movement that enables you to deliver your music and character to people who you couldn’t reach on your own. They will give the little guys like us the opportunity to do this amazing interview!
Chris: AP is one of, if not the best mediums for bands and punk rock.

12. What is your favorite song to play?
Chris: Right now it is “Gin and Tonic” because it is our newest.
Andrew G.: My favorite song to play is “All I.” I especially like the bridge of this song when the music cuts out and leaves the vocals to carry the energy. The crowd loves this too.
Brandon: I can’t tell you. It would lose its meaning.
Joe: I put on my dancing shoes for “The Power Cosmic.”

13. What is your vacation spot of choice?
Brandon: Free and fun. Wherever that is.
Andrew G.: My favorite vacation spot is any place that I can rip my shirt off and get sun. I love it when the heat causes my chest to sweat into my chest hairs!
Chris: I enjoy Panama City Beach. I love the insane amount of energy it has as it is a hot spot for youth. I think “The Power Cosmic” pretty much explains PCB Florida in the spring.
Joe: Northwest Michigan.

14. What music reminds you of your childhood?
Brandon: NO JOKE Michael Bolton.
Andrew G.: Old 90’s pop music reminds me of my childhood.
Joe: Blues and folk.
Chris: Glam Rock reminds me of my childhood.

15. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Why?
Brandon: Super strength. -
Andrew G.: If I could have any superpower, it would be the ability to fly. I’ve always loved things that can take flight.
Chris: To never have to pee when I’m drinking.
Joe: I’d like to throw exploding cards like Gambit.

Missed Connections and a Drunken Star Spangled Banner

jfitzsimmons — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 15:17:10 +0000

Here is a Blog/Video post of some cool crap that has happened lately. I’m not trying to stroke my ego by posting about myself, but earlier in June I had the pleasure of playing the Star Spangled Banner at the 2nd Annual Linders/Dreste Washer Tournament. I (Joe) played pretty poorly and drunkenly, but it should at least be a little entertaining.

Also, our friends at Onrye Productions regularly put out short comedy sketches on the internet. Their latest one is called “Missed Connections” about a guy who finds himself looking through the Missed Connection section of Craigslist. They used our song “The Power Cosmic” in the video. Check it out:

Last Nights Vice rocks “Lock and Key” video shoot – ReImagine

jfitzsimmons — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 19:21:04 +0000

Re-Imagine writes up a review of our music video shoot for “Lock and Key”.

After driving down a nearly deserted road in St. Charles, I found myself standing in a parking lot looking up at a gigantic pile of rock. The members of Last Nights Vice lugged their equipment up the rocky terrain. Filming for Last Nights Vice’s first music video, “Lock and Key” was about to begin.

After waiting for a few more people to arrive, the director A.J. Meadows had everyone head to the top of the rock pile, where the (majority of the) band waited and extras (which I ended up being) signed release forms.

Meadows shot from a few different angles and then did individual shots, one of House and another of LNV drummer Andrew Ghiassi. On the last take involving the extras, a couple guys, Scott Hutcheson and Tim Gowan—appearing to have woken up from a dream—run up to the ‘set’ after the band stops playing and the extras are leaving. The plot of the video wasn’t mentioned—other than to briefly explain why three guys in little more than boxers were running towards us. With that said, I’m very interested to see the finished product—more so for the storyline than if I’m actually in any of the shots or not).

Despite the warmer temperatures, everyone involved seemed to have a good time, the band included. Before and during filming, the band joked around with the extras and made sure to acknowledge and thank them for being involved. I’ve known the guys of Last Nights Vice for almost a year now, and it still amazes me how much they care about their fans and the product they put out for their fans to enjoy.
