As the boom in by-the-book Indie bands expands and the extreme of genre-crossing groups takes the limelight through shock factor, Welcome The Tourist enthuse that you don’t need gimmicks to make bestsellers, nor do you need to stick to tried and tested methods.
Combining apparent influences from Minus The Bear to Motion City Soundtrack, Hot Water Music to Genesis and adding a distinct passion for 80’s pop music, the four-piece are clear masters of their instruments.
Alan Hiom (23) was introduced to Dan Reynolds (24) at Norwich City College where they both studied. Discovering that Dan played drums, Alan acquired his talents early on and on Dan's return from University attained his skills once more in further bands. Alan & Dan gained notable success in previous band saleontomorrow, playing alongside some impressive names such as My Awesome Compilation, Itch and Owen.
Hiom & Reynolds became aware of bassist Stitch Richardson (23) when saleontomorrow shared a tour with his previous band Brailing. When the opportunity arose for the new outfit that would later become Welcome The Tourist, Stitch was asked to have a practice and as the saying goes, the rest is history.
WTT gigged as a three piece for a short time before bringing in the synthesizing services of 18 year old Tom Booen. Tom (better known for his talents on the guitar) brought in an extra dimension to the band and along with the signature cowbell, completed the ensemble.
The result? One of the most impressive newcomers from the East who bring a new depth to their music and one of the most consistent live performances you will bare witness to.

One of the most impressive alternative bands to come from the East of England, 5-piece The Departure Lounge are looking to play gigs throughout the UK.
With an evergrowing fanbase of thousands in the East and general popularity seeping into counties the UK over, The Departure Lounge could quite possibly be the next band to make it big!
Already in their run as technical & creative musicians, The Departure Lounge have played with some widely established bands including My Awesome Compilation, Furthest Drive Home, and We Are The Ocean with gigs coming up with Kill The Arcade and Paige to name by two.
New recordings are to be posted up at the weekend after their triumph, Bid The World Goodbye reached excessive success concreting them as one of the bands to watch in 2007

Having amalgamated as a music-unit in the latter part of 2003, Tom, Scott, Kelle and Shea (who formed at Access To Music, Norwich) have become local favourites around Norfolk and beyond.
Being influenced by the likes of Nofx, Farse, Capdown, and Anti-Flag, BLAG released their debut, 4-track EP entitled “Introvert” in 2004 and since then they’ve never stopped learning. Due to their hard-work, musical passion, and dedication, BLAG have been fortunate enough to support the likes of Capdown, Voodoo Glowskulls, [spunge], Jesse James, Sonic Boom XI, and soon - The Toasters.
”Bling Bling”, released in 2005 brought even more new experiences. BLAG worked alongside the BBC to record a music video for the title track to the album. This was a huge success and yet another milestone in their melodic excursion.
Now in their 3rd year as a 4-piece, BLAG released their full length album called “Guess Who?”. Accompanying the album launch, which was released on label "In An Emergency, Dial…", BLAG toured playing faultless sets and claiming new fans all over the UK.
Early 2007 saw BLAG get signed to Party House Records, whilst preparing for their exciting tour which was completed in September for 2 weeks down the South Coast of England.
Exciting times are in store for Norwich-based BLAG so be sure to keep up to date with the latest goings-on, as well as listening to their skankable songs at:
