BEES IN YOUR EYES!

About Me



To clear up any confusion, Black Whales is a band formerly known as Tourist. For a number of reasons, we have changed a number of things. We think the new stuff sounds pretty amazing. We think you will also. If you like what we did in Tourist, you should see where we're going with it. There are 3 people in this band. Please wait while we gather our proof for you. We will see you this summer...

If you would like a copy of Tourist's final album together, "We'll Be Under the Radar When You're Ready", you can buy it from Sonic Boom Records:
