History Last Rizla

Last Rizla is a rock band from Greece.

As of 2010, the band is an instrumental trio, now incorporating elements of sludge and doom to their psychedelic post-metal sound. The band cites Sleep, The Melvins, Dub Trio, Earth, Neurosis, AmenRa as influences.

The band got together around 2006 in Syros Island, Greece but, after minor line-up changes, took its current form in 2009. Originally a vocals-guitar-bass-drums quartet, Last Rizla released their first album in October 2009 (Last Rizla). The album, both a physical and digital release, was given around for free. Its sound is a mixture of stoner and psychedelic rock, hardcore punk, post-metal and even dub alongside half spoken-half sung lyrics with a political edge. The album can be downloaded for free at band's official websites, http://lastrizla.bandcamp.com and http://www.myspace.com/lastrizla

As referred to their official MySpace account:

"Just like a flatulent bowel aerification, it all started back in 2003, in that certain 2x3 basement, all being clumsy as mollusks. Punk Rock and Red Hot covers. The Last Rizla thang was conceived around 2006, during a session in that uncertain studio, featuring actual musicians that, of course, did not continue with the band. Line-up changed (actually still does), instruments exchanged and as of 2009, Last Rizla have eventually found the money to pay for their first recording, self-releasing it and giving it around for free (stupid morons! - DIY and shit...). Last Rizla suffer/have suffered from raging haemorrhoids, thyroid anomalies, high blood pressure, a bunch of broken teeth, stones in the gall bladder, dandruff (just to mention a few). Blame Rock.

Someone wrote:

Last Rizla is a session band formed by independent musicians who share the need of experimenting with new sounds as well as fusing different styles. We believe that music is not static and therefore there are no rules for creating interesting music. Music should have no boundaries and any musician should be free to express himself by any means available...

He has no facial hair...

Furthermore, the vast majority of the Last Rizla Group members encounter a dispiriting problem of bad, plain bad, haircuts or hairstyles; ranging from total baldness to buddha-looking-chubby-heads, oily-lovelocks to 80s-mane-full-of-shame, disoriented-dreadlocks to yippy-yow-cowlicks, one-bread-all-head to pussy-looking-fluffy-mohawks and weak-afanaz, Last Rizla have made their statement to the world of style! Bad Taste!"
