With a band name that sounds like a onetime thing although barely a year old  i know they are here to stay, they are in fact here for all or nothing like their first single. I first heard of the band and their performance at the second metal and romance in June.

IN THE BEGINING

1Last Autograph (One Last Autograph) as they prefer to be written“1” not “ONE” was founded when Chike met Tolu and  Judah through a mutual friend who was also a rock fan  in Badagry , they spoke about starting a rock band and eventually performed at the second  Metal and romance in June after which Tolu left leaving Chike and Judah to source for more band mates, they later found  Sam , then Casey then Mario who had similar interest with them and the band was officially born.

They always had  issues apart from finances, they had problems with rehearsal ground as they couldn’t find a stable one especially with band mates living far apart like the guitarist Sam who had to come all the way from  Ikorodu for rehearsals

They are in the process of being signed by a record label but currently managed and co-managed by Sagay Reginald and Famutimi Femi

LIST OF SONGS

The band’s feature with rock artist clay was the first I heard from them and  like most people I was impressed and especially taken by the growl, we could say it was the first time a growl was officially heard in a Nigerian song and i commend them for that. Personally i can’t wait to hear the song performed live at least to see growl and drum come to Life.

1 LAST AUTOGRAPH

when we asked the lead singer what 1LA means this is what he has to say

"1 last autograph symbolizes this unsatisfactory nature of man, one more this and one more that, we just never get enough. We just keep pushing our limits trying to create something new something worthy of an autograph. like we have car companies come up with new models, movies getting crazier, artist being expressive, porn getting more seductive. this world is just fucking crazy, the moment we hold on to some new stuff, a better one comes. in a nut shell the essence of life being more creative never having enough. that is what makes us want to keep on living"


i personally love this band, maybe its because i see the struggle they have to go through to be heard and yet they keep on going, maybe its harder because of the region we are and the fact that the rock genre is a growing genre here, sometimes i define uniques, creativity and good stuff as something an average Nigerian wouldn't appreciate, so in my own words i see the band at the last autograph i need to collect or have that would last forever, that one last thing that when you get you'll need no more, i hope to see them sellout venues in a short time but that would only happen if we hold on to this genre that we love and let it be heard

The Rockaz world Questions

We love to ask two questions and this originated from the Rockaz World Whatsapp Group

1)     If an orphanage needed your nude to survive would you present it?
2)     Do you prefer Yellow Garri or Ijebu garri

When we asked the band mates this was what we got from those that answer                     (^ _-)

Question 1

Chike said " he would send" .So yay for the orphans? How much would that fetch?

Judah said "i'll go nude if the orphan was a chic and was in front of him" and so the orphan got pregnant , married judah and gave birth to eleven more

Sam said "i will love to send nudes, since its for charity" . so the some orphans went on to be doctors and some reality starts

Casey said "yes i would"  now that is a hero

Mario said "NO"  after which the orphans left his apartment sad and fell over the bridge

And the managers Sagay and Femi refused to share the nude so the orphans died of starvation

Question 2

Chike said "ijebu garri for life"

Judah said "I prefer ijebu Garri"

Sam said "i love ijebu garri"

Casey said "i love ijebu garri"

Mario said "ijebu oh"
