Last Minute To Jaffna

About Me


Last Minute To Jaffna was born in Torino (Italy) during spring 2005. They soon moved toward post hardcore, mixing it with a wide range of influences, including noise, minimal electronica, stoner, new wave, metal, psychedelic music, movie soundtracks, doom and many more.
In a few months the band started to play live, then released a 2 tracks promo ep in March 2006. After playing all over Italy and in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, they're ready to put out their new record, scheduled for spring 2008.

Last Minute To Jaffna shared the stage with bands such as Zu (Ita), Capricorns (Uk), Ufomammut (Ita), The Orange Man Theory (Ita), Lair Of The Minotaur (Usa), Il Teatro Degli Orrori (Ita), Elision (Ger), Lento (Ita), Rose Kemp (Uk), Le Luci Della Centrale Elettrica (Ita), Dead Elephant (Ita), Vanessa Van Basten (Ita), Slaiver (Ita), At The Soundawn (Ita), Helvete (Swe), Kehlvin (Swi), ToMyDeepestEgo (Ita), Conceal (Swi), Spitfight (Fra), Deville (Swe), Right In Sight (Ita), Cibo (Ita), Mothercare (Ita), Ned (Fra), Sky Turned Red (Ita), Dying In Motion (Swi), Arcadia (Ita), Mainline (Ita), The Juliet Massacre (Ita), Guilty Of Reason (Fra), Break Is Over (Ita).
