For a long time now Aarhus has been Denmarks Oi! capitol and Last Seen Laughing is another band in that tradition, which we are proud to belong to!
Last Seen Laughing is a 3 piece band, with members who all come from OI/Punk/Hardcore musical backgrounds. We've all played in various bands over the last approx. 20-30 years. We have played together about 2½ year and had our debut in our hometown of Aarhus, Denmark in Dec. 2008.
The Line-up is:
Steen - Bass, Chorus : Frontman, leadsinger & guitarist in legendary Danish punk band The Zero Point still goin' strong since 1979. Drummer in Hardcore outfit War of Destruction.
JP - Drums, Chorus : Drummer in Oi! band The Hoolies. Singer in Oi! Band The Outfit. Drummer in 80's punk band Dayli Kaos and 90's punk band deFuldeprofeter (The Drunken Prophets).
Kres - Guitar, leadvocal : Guitarplayer in 90's Hardcore band Toe Tag, bassplayer in 90's Hardcore band Tiny Toons. Guitar in 90's punk band deFuldeprofeter and Guitar in The Hoolies and The Outfit.
After The Outfit decided to call it a day, Kres as being the main idea holder of the band, had tons of unused material, decided to start on his own along with brother JP on Bass. Back then we called ourselves The Jutland Muster. Jutland being the part of Denmark where we live. After about 8 months JP couldn't find the extra time to play music, but Kres kept on with various bass players and drummers (very hard to find musicians that want to play or know oi music in Denmark). It was always kept as a 3 piece band to keep it minimalistic, aggressive and tight. After approx. 2 years of practicing and creating songs JP decided to join back in and took over the drums. 3 months later in late 2008 we hi-jacked Steen to play bass and Last Seen Laughing was born.
Last Seen Laughing is inspirered by the second wave of Oi! from the 80's as well as the Oi! Revival of the 90's. We take bits and pieces from many different bands and mix it into our own sound. The style is aggressive, minimalistic and catchy!
Last Seen Laughing has already made quite an impact on the scene in Denmark especially with the song ”Tæsk” (translates Beating or more precise ”to get your head kicked in”), which is somewhat of a hit or anthem in the underground. This last year has also seen a very fast growing interest for Last Seen Laughing from abroad and we've already been to Norway, Sweden and Germany to play gigs. Quite exceptional considering the band hasn't released anything yet!
The future for Last Seen Laughing looks remarkably bright if you look upon the bands history so far!
Last Seen Laughing's debut album ”Where we belong” will be released on LP & CD on The German label Randale Records sometime in the spring of 2011. Be sure to get it before your mate!
