Gigler also said the last tour is a chance to make the fans happy one last time.
"This tour is for all the fans, it's pretty exciting to do something," Gigler said. "We're excited that we got to do this band for as long as we have," Gigler said.
After this final tour, Gigler said he will now have more time to focus on the Diners Club, a hip-hop project.
"It's hungry hip-hop for starving artists," Gigler said. "It's ear-candy."
Shawn Jones (senior-architectural engineering) said he was surprised to hear this Mest tour would be the last.
"I think it's really unfortunate, I know when they opened for Good Charlotte they had a huge stage presence," Jones said.
Jones also said he was curious to know what prompted this decision.
"You can expect to see me at the Crowbar on Monday," Jones said.
Also on tonight's bill is Scary Kids Scaring Kids.
Keyboardist Pouyan Afkary said that the band is different from the others playing tonight's show.
"I guess we fit into the screamo thing, but like to be called indie rock," Afkary said. "The best description I've heard for it is 'apocalyptic sex rock'."
Afkary also said the band's sound blurs genre lines.
"We're really excited, not sure how people are going to react," Afkary said. "We're a little harder than the rest of the bands, a little less melodic."
Scary Kids Scaring Kids also strives for a large sound, Afkary said.
"We try to make our music seem big, and hopefully build up to something. We really try to make our music as epic as possible," Afkary said. The band also has a new music video for its song "My Darkest Hour," which premiered online at purevolume.com. Afkary said this is the first time the site has debuted a music video on its homepage. The tour will also feature Allister, whose latest album, Before the Blackout, was released last October.
"It's definitely a diverse show ... from metal to punk, ska, it's definitely a diverse show," Gigler said. "From metal to punk, ska - well, maybe not ska. We've got a couple of upstrokes."
