In 2006 singer Justin Nava formed thelastplaceyoulook with friends Kevin Pool, Richard Sherwood, Derek Young and Andy Moths. Their EP, The Lies We Tell Ourselves, was released on 30 May 2006. Following the release of The Lies We Tell Ourselves, they entered into the studio in 2008 and began work on their follow-up album. In 2009, the band released their full-length debut See The Light Inside You.
With See The Light Inside You, Space City Rock stated that the musical direction of the band took a different turn from their previous work.
The first music video for the single "Don't Make It So Easy" was produced by Taylor Gahm and released on 13 July 2009. Since then, the second single "Band to Save Me" has been added to regular rotation on Clear Channel's 94.5 KTBZ The Buzz. The band has also been spotlighted by media outlets such as Audio ADD and the Houston Press.
During this time the band parted ways with drummer Andy Moths. Both sides have stated it was a mutual amicable parting due to creative differences and what was best for everyone involved.
The band toured throughout 2010, while continuing to write new material for their upcoming album, as well as searching for a full-time replacement drummer. After touring with several interim drummers, Mikey Garcia was added as the band's permanent drummer.
