Last Tuesday is a Christian punk band hailing from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. They played their final show on March 10th, 2007. Last Tuesday was formed in 1999 in Harrisburg, P.A. After the announcement from Steve Gee that he will be leaving the band, Last Tuesday no longer had any of its original members. Last Tuesday was formed on the understanding that everyday could be our last day, and we are not guaranteed another day on this earth, so we must live for God in the present.

Trivia

*"Sometimes we're always on tour," is a statement you may hear the band members saying often, which is entirely true. The only time they do not tour is Christmas, or when they are recording a new Album.

*Many people do not know that Steve was an English teacher for a few years before Last Tuesday started touring heavily. Chris Murk wasn't doing so well in English class, so his parents decided to get him tutored. Fate would have it that Steve was chosen as his tutor. Chris went to the band's shows, and when Mike stepped down he joined the band.

Discography

Their latest release, Become What You Believe has been very successful since it's release on August 15th 2006. The new album showcased a heavier Last Tuesday, with more "screaming" from Carl, and heavier guitar riffs from Ben and Steve.

Their nationally released Mono Vs Stereo debut album, "Resolve", was produced by Matthew Thiessen (lead singer of Relient K) and Joe Marlett (Blink 182, Foo Fighters).

Worldview

Although the typical-looking punk quartet, complete with spiky hair and loud T-shirts, the band's commitment to meaning and truth is constant. "Last Tuesday" understands the influence that music has on society and is dedicated to making a "positive" impact in the lives of their listeners.

When asked about being labeled a "Christian" band, bassist Carl Brengle remarked that, "Water isn't good because it is a source of life or tasty. Water is good because God made water good. The same goes for music. Music is good because God made music good. Some people pollute music with negativity. We just play music the way God intended."

The band's mission statement remarks that "The mission is lofty, but the alternative is devastating."
