The Last Army played their first gig at The Truck Festival in September 2007. Then, after having their demos discovered on Myspace by enthusiastic Hispanic DJ Julio Ruiz, garnered much national radio play in Spain. So they flew over towards the end of the year and got interviewed live on aforementioned national radio (Radio Nacional de Espa?±a). They followed this by playing a mini-tour, starting with Madrid. In early 2008 they started getting played on smaller radio stations in the US and also got played on Mexican radio on student station UABC. They became the weekly featured artist on Myspace Australia. And momentum kept growing elsewhere...France (Magasin Magazine), Spain (another national station Plastica Elastica, Toxicosmos, magazine Indyrock), America (iacmusic.com - big 50 chart top 20 for both ‚ÄòDead‚Äô and ‚ÄòSubmit to the Chemical‚Äô, UNU radio, KXLU Playlist for CMJ New World Music Chart). In the UK, XFM DJ Marsha Shandur stumbled upon them and said to her listeners ‚Äì ‚ÄòThey‚Äôre really good and therefore should be known about‚Äô. In March The Last Army played a packed gig in Punk, Soho and Jimmy Pursey (formerly of Sham 69) joined them onstage - enthusiastically proclaiming ‚ÄúI love this lot!‚Äù. They then shot a music video for the song ‚ÄòDead‚Äô - with one camera and no crew, and recorded a cover of Je t‚Äôaime (moi non plus) ‚Äì a duet with Rebekah and Art Brut‚Äôs Eddie Argos. In the summer they were interviewed live on Steve Lamacq‚Äôs BBC6 show and their first single (self-release, no budget) ‚ÄòDead‚Äô got its first few airings. Tom Robinson and Gideon Coe also played ‚ÄòDead‚Äô on BBC6. Then, in August they got their first live UK live review - in The Fly, and it sung their praises. They were reviewed and hailed as ‚Äòbest unsigned band‚Äô in London Lite magazine and subsequently got radio play on BBC London as their ‚ÄòRecord of the Week‚Äô. At the end of the month TLA were the CMU Daily (insider industry magazine) big tip, described as ‚ÄòUtterly brilliant. They have an impressive arsenal of hook-laden indie songs‚Ķ‚Äô. Winter 2008 started with TLA's inclusion on the Best of Myspace podcast. They're currently re-grouping and writing songs - ready for a full-on assault in 2009.
