Lonely Crowd

After years of touring clubs around Europe, Norwegian/English psychedelic outfit Lonely Crowd started making their mark on the radio and even the charts in 2008, with the single "Aren't You Forgetting Something?".

Lonely Crowd released three EPs on Mega, the second of which (Jesus In The Pub) became a radio hit in Norway, and was given rave reviews (six out of six in both Dagbladet and Panorama).

Three of the original members were replaced by a Norwegian guitarist, Marius Gengenbach, and an English rhythm section consisting of double bass player Floyd Jensen and drummer James Corner (formerly of Back To The Planet and Barry Adamson).

Having made a bit of a name for themselves in England, Lonely Crowd were booked on a European tour and later played support to the Fun Lovin' Criminals at their London concert.

Lonely Crowd signed a two-album deal with Karisma Records, and release the three first EPs (plus two new tracks) as an album in November 2007, under the name Watching From a Distance.
