The Last Avenue RETURNS!

2008-04-22T05:29:00.000-07:00

Hey all ROCKERS out there!

The Last Avenue will be returning in the month of JULY! We will be performing for our school Fund Raising Concert. The concert was firstly settled in the month of June but now its postponed to July. Will be playing 2 songs and the songs will be "Ocean Avenue" by Yellowcard and "Basket Case" by Green Day. Ok, for some of you might remember that we've played "Ocean Avenue" during RockFest '08. However, i gurantee that it will be more POWER and BETTER than before. So do come and watch! haha. As this is a Fund Raising Concert for our school, you will have to pay for the concert. The date, time and cost of ticket will be put up as soon as we get the updates from the teachers.

Covers will also be recorded in the month of June and will be posted up at our MySpace. The more likely confirm covers that we will be recording will be again "Ocean Avenue" and "Basket Case" So check our MySpace! The link to our MySpace is attached in the Link section.

The Last Avenue will be stepping down for a short period of time after the July concert due to upcoming examinations we have but we will be back after our examinations. And of course, we will be playing other song rather than the 2 songs we played.

Finally, come and support us at the Fund Raising Concert held at our school and if you have any doubt or enquiries, do e-mail us. Our e-mail address is included at the left side of our blog. Thanks!

Goodbye ROCKERS!

Behind the Scene

2008-03-20T09:09:00.000-07:00

hey .I MISS JAMMING !I MISS LAST AVENUE !arhhh ~~~i'm crazy already man .i miss all the fun times we had !well , you people saw us at rockfest .let me take you through a journey of what's "behind the scene" .

JAMMING SESSION 1 .
somewhere in early january , in boon .well , one of us saw the rockfest poster and decide to go for in .we took a form and getting ready for the day .was SUPPOSED to play 2 songs and 2 acoustic ones .jayhan dropped out from basket case .and was supposed to play it ends tonight .basket case was kinda okay for the first time .we went through almost the whole song !was the most progressive jamming session then .it was like one hour , so we didn't really play a fool .

JAMMING SESSION 2 .
somewhere a few weeks later , in boon .went to the bigger side of boon , as the small one is under construction .jayhan dropped out of the whole thing .ian was absent .so we were trying it ends tonight and addicted .addicted is a total shit disaster .the tab is a total bullshit .then it ends tonight , no one could sing it .then it's when the unforgetable singing fingers come into place .haha , we're like so retarded .after this session , we cancelled of it ends tonight .addicted was on hold .

JAMMING SESSION 3 .
one week later , at boon.everyone was there .my clever idea came in .i brought in like 3 new songs ,addicted , shut up , ocean avenue (basket case was comfirmed then)addicted , we totally killed it .then shut up was okay .but ocean avenue at that time is also another disaster .but we put it on hold .

JAMMING SESSION 4 .
somewhere near the concert , at ME .we got together on a saturday morning .went to KFC , had breakfast .was having hell lot of fun .haha .then practice basket case (by then the 3 songs are comfirmed)we suck back .i crack like nobod's business.and what's funnier is i always crack on the part "i think i'm cracking up"got make fun of it like f**k .also took our first video .it really suck . alot .between this time , lots of "quitting" mindset .i was the worst player at that time .with all the cracking and all that .

JAMMING SESSION 5 .
two days before concert , at ME .we got serious .but the jamming session was the best moment in my life ever .we went there after school . got a 2 hour slot .we wanted to brush up EVERYTHING !we reach there . and do all three songs .then from there , we choose 2 good ones , as there's a limit on the number of songs we playing .we choosed ocean avenue and basket case .no regret from that .i remember the " JUMPING TRAINING "lol , its damn funny .even the drummer jump .and we were like doing it over and over again .LMAO .then both the songs were ok already .my singing was praised by everyone in the room .HAHAHAHA !!!then , the session ended .we were still very worried then ,although we are on the standard of performing .

D-DAY !
well , 15th feb , 2008 .the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE .went for the rehersal .ok , this is what happen , we watch other bands played at the backstage .mrs ng was like criticising them like hell .my legs were shaking already .then it was our turn .played basket case first .and WHAM !mrs ng praises us .the only thing was that royston was rushing .lol .then , if you people know the song basket case .you may find some sexual content in it lyrics .and while singing that part , mrs tay walked in .i was like shaking more . haha .after basket case i was shaking MORE !don't know why .but everything was good .mrs ng say maybe will put us on the first slot or something like this .

Rockfest '08

2008-02-16T08:20:00.000-08:00

Edited on (19/2/08)

Rockfest was totally FUN and ENJOYABLE. Though we have some dissapointment. This was our first concert and I think it went very successful. We prepared 3 songs for the Rockfest but because there are many bands joining we have to play only 2 songs. During rehersal, Mrs Diana Ng was sort of auditioning us. She arrange which band to go first and which one to be the last and everything. So our band was being arranged the last band. During the concert. Few minutes before our turn, we was told that we have to play only 1 song due to time constraints. So played "Ocean Avenue" by Yellowcard. We were all so high during the concert especially our guitarist cum singer, Koon How who almost threw his guitar! The audience was jumping and screaming non stop. Thanks to all our friends who had came to support us. Really a BIG thank you to you all. If anyone, any bands want us to link you, pls tag us at our tagboard or email us at the.last.avenue@gmail.com. Thanks.

Here are some pictures of us during the Rockfest '08.
