WE'RE OUT - COME PARTY WITH US ONE LAST TIME
It's not without a bit of sadness that we're announcing the end of LMLC.
Three years, guys. It's been awesome. We can't thank you enough for the great crowd reaction we’ve received from the bigger shows we’ve played (the Aquabats, the Pilfers, Big D and the Kids Table, Streetlight Manifesto, the Slackers, Ska Weekend), and for the way you all have stuck in there through the lesser gigs. Some of you went beyond the call of duty and really helped us by booking shows, flyering, buying tickets off of us, dragging your friends to shows, working our merch table, singing along, and doing anything you could do to help. Again, you guys rule. It's been a great ride, and we couldn't have asked for better help every step of the way.
Unfortunately, as all good things must come to an end, so shall LMLC. Irons got in touch with us the other day after a few weeks of contemplation to let us know that he'll be focusing on his schoolwork and career from here on out, and we're left with few other choices than to go our separate ways. That being said, we’ve had to cancel our appearance opening for The Pietasters at The Note, and we apologize to anyone that’s purchased tickets with the intent of seeing us play (some of us even had family flying in from out of town for that show, and we’re especially saddened to have to cancel it). However, we’ve talked with our friends at Phillyska, and our official last show will be November 13th, 2009, opening for the Philly stop of the Ska is Dead IV tour. Irons is not, and will not be a part of this – Matt will be singing, and friends of ours will be standing in to sing certain songs for us, if just so that the five of us that truly worked hard at this for over three years can play one last show before closing the door on this chapter of careers as musicians.
If you ever shared a stage with us, booked a show for us, hit the road with us, played our music for your friends, dragged your friends to our shows, carried our gear, ran our merch table, sang-a-long with us, anything — THANK YOU for your support over the past three years. Come out and sing, dance, scream, and throw down one more time on the 13th. If you still want a CD or a T-shirt, we'll be selling them off for a buck apiece. Let's give this one last go and make this a night to remember.
Thanks again for everything.
Joe Wicklund, Cary Hyatt, Tony DeGregorio, Matt Skversky, Chris Pires

Wow. I haven't been on Myspace in about a month and the first thing I see when I log on is that you guys broke up. I'm legitimately upset. I'm so glad I got to see you guys a bunch of times. Thanks a lot for the amazing shows and the great albums. No doubt, you guys were the best thing on the scene in a while.
Thanks a lot, Nick (I'm going to listen to "Don't Shoot the Messenger and "Sunrays to Starlight" until I pass out.)
Hey its Des, great last show @ skaisdead, will miss you guys. Great replacement singer(friend), I spoke with him after LTJ that Sunday. You guys will be missed.....
funny story. I was after school talking to my biology teacher -- we were talking about bands and she asked me if i knew this band her friend was in by the name of "Last Martyrs Of a Lost Cause" and i was like woahhh .. and freaked the fuck outt hahaha.
apparently you know her or something. Mir Whitman?
ps: you guys should reunite again after a little while, all the other ska smaller bands i love have broken up (including ones you've played with too actually like awful waffle and the uninspired D;) -- you guys should keep ska alive. -- and i haven't gone to enough of your shows :|
Hey guys, We're playing our cd release show on Januray 2nd, and as a huge fan of yours, I was thinking of arranging a cover of Open Letter for that show. Would you guys be okay with that? I dunno what your stance on covers is haha -Jimmy
Sorry to hear about the band dissolving. We were looking forward to playing with you this Saturday at The Note with The Pietasters and Ruder Than You. I'll catch you at the Ska is Dead show. Perhaps if any of you put together another band we can work together in the future. Best wishes for all of your future success.
Dammit dammit dammit...now I'm sad...very sad...please tell me that the rest of you guys will at least put something else together afterwards...and I hope I can make Ska Is Dead...I'd love a shirt and cd since I never could afford one before...
I'm not sure how big of a deal this is to most of you, but I know at least one of you cares enough. Just wanted to make sure you knew that BtMI! is playing The Fire on October 26th!
I saw you guys with Streetlight. :) Someone recommended you to me a little while earlier, but I hadn't checked you out. Now I really regret it. You guys are AMAZING. <3 Come back to Philly!
