The last mile started out with Rommert on guitar, René on guitar, Emiel
on bass and Arys on drums in april of 2000. All members hailed from
Groningen and our practiceroom is in the heart of the Groningen scene,
'het Viaduct'. René 's old bands Office killer, Resent and Yphobia all
disbanded in a period of a couple of months before so it was time for
something new. Rommert came from Yphobia. Emiel was the singer of
Catweazel, wich had disbanded also. Arys played in Seizure and Default,
and had some time on his hands to do something besides this. A singer was
soon found in the person of Jaap, the old singer of Resent and Yphobia. He
had just returned from a long visit to Norway.
The first one to leave the band was Emil, because of moving to the south of
the country. He was replaced by Wouter of Revolt. Second one was Arys, he
chose for his other bands after being unable to keep playing in three bands
at once. Arys was replaced by Daniel also from Revolt.
The first show was at the WSPA-benefit organized by Wouter, in march of
2001. A succesful gig playing with 8 other bands and 265 visitors. Wouter
had to leave the band due to personal problems in the summer of 2001. Jaap
started playing bass besides singing wich makes us a four-piece nowadays.
After playing some gigs and putting some money away we recorded in
december of 2001 at the SingSing-studio's in Metslawier. The result were
7 songs wich will be pressed on 10" and released by Franz from Sabotage
records and distro.
Now it's april 2002, we're still writing songs, playing gigs, making
arrangements for the 10" . I am busy with this website wich hopefully will
ease communications some what. We'll see what the future brings…
