This is our second post now about some of the smaller stories that we in Last Nights Vice would like to promote. Together, all these latest news combine to form one killer post. Kind of like Captain Planet.

1.) Check out this photo gallery by Crystal Rolfe. She photographed the 80’s prom night we were at.

For those who missed their prom or simply wanted to relive the funky-styled action, the Mad Art Gallery in St. Louis played host to an ’80s Prom Night on Friday. Complete with costumes, stylized deco, bar and prom photos, Last Nights Vice provided the music and people rocked out, like totally.

2.) A couple of quotes from around the web about our new CD:

“The album starts off with ‘Lock and Key,’ an intense explosion of funky dance beats and a hook that will definitely get you off your ass, something that Last Nights Vice know how to do well. ” -Alter the Press

“You feel as if you’ve just heard the next big thing in the alternative music scene.” – Eat Sleep Breathe Music

3.) The Point local show is still playing us strong:

* Monster Eats Manhattan – My Gemini
* Strata G w/ 13 Days – Ruthless

4.) Sarah Dope publishes our press release:

This press release and digital package mysteriously landed in my Inbox today. I took a moment to check these guys out, happen to like what I heard, and as always, I thought I’d share. Where were these guys when I lived in Missouri?

5.) Our friends in Me Verse You are real close to winning a record contract. Help them out by voting for them in the Toyota Rock the Space contest.

6.) Check out our movie making friends new podcast, Pixel Slayers.

Pixel Slayers: Episode 5 from Anthony Meadows on Vimeo.

Last Night’s Vice – “I can’t believe you’re not a national band!” said Donnie Fandango, of Missouri Alternative radio 105.7 The Point, about Last Night’s Vice. Fans echo the sentiment on the band’s Web site, but it’s likely they won’t have to worry for long. With a hook-laden, dance-rock sound and experience sharing the stage with Fall Out Boy, Hawthorne Heights, and fellow Missourians Story of the Year, it’s possible that Last Night’s Vice could become tomorrow’s next stars.

I thought it would be cool to round up our top 7 posts of all time, based on popularity and an arbitrary measurement of coolness.

1. 105.7 The Point interviews Last Nights Vice
Aug. 13, 2009
Posted In: Press

We went into the Point studio to promote three Point sponsored shows we were playing. In the studio was Steve Ewing(formerly of The Urge) and the DJ Donnie Fandango. Donnie had a few nice things to say about us so we decided to get the audio and make a slideshow using animoto.com and throwing the video up on YouTube

2. We are Full Throttle Magazine’s Band of the Month
Dec. 11, 2007
Posted In: Press

This is one of the first articles I remember being written about us. We had close ties to Full Throttle and we even played a show sponsored by them. Here is a piece of the article:

There is a new sound in St. Louis. It incorperates rock
n’ roll you can bang your head to, and dancy undertones
to put a shake in your shoes. And our band of the month,
Last Nights Vice, has been injecting this new sound into the
stagnent scene, with no plans of slowing down…

3. LNV music to be in ‘White Tiger: The Story of Rick and Roddy’
Jul. 18, 2009
Posted In: News

A couple of local filmmakers got a hold of us after seeing an article about us on rockandrollreport.com. We ended up getting a lot of our music into their film, which is currently being submitted to international film festivals. We played at the wrap party and even saw ourselves on the big screen at the Tivoli. Awesome guys and an awesome film.

4. Spotlight Stl interviews Last Nights Vice
Jun. 16, 2009
Posted In: Press

I think this was the first we met Kari Williams who has written about us a few times. It was a very candid, laid-back interview with great questions. Here’s a bit:

LNV works collectively to put lyrics to a melody.
“It starts with a small idea, and we keep playing it over and over…until new parts evolve from that idea, and then we make a song out of it,” Ghiassi said.

Read the whole SpotlightSTL interview here.

5. Watch Hawthorne Heights Rep our boy Speakerhead
Oct. 31, 2008
Posted In: Videos

Jordan had the genius idea to create a real life Speakerhead. He wanted to bring our mascot to life. Using cardboard, paper, a working speaker and an iPod, we were able to put this thing on our head and play our music out of it. After a Hawthorne Heights show at Pop’s, we talked the members of the band into posing with Speakerhead and saying a few words. Check it out:

6. Last Nights Vice in the studio, etc…
Nov. 23, 2009
Posted In: Videos

Here are 3 random videos of us recording our newest songs. One is of Andrew in the studio recording drums. The 2nd one is of all of us spaz dancing. The 3rd is a classic from when we hit the road. We like to prank call certain establishments as Jordan’s alter ego, Mort Weinstein.

See all 3 of these videos here.

7. A History of Last Nights Vice
Ju. 08, 2009
Posted In: Blog

This is our 2nd blog post. I wanted to explain how Last Nights Vice came to be. Here’s a part of it:
Last Nights Vice has really been a 14 year ride for us. Most people don’t believe us when we say we’ve been playing for that long but it is true. The whole idea for a band started in the 4th grade and came from the mind of Chris Blake. He invited me to be in the band and then we started inviting everyone we knew into the band. None of us played instruments, but that didn’t seem important at the time.
