LAST GREAT DREAMERS RETURN TO NORWICH AS PART OF THEIR 2016 AUTUMN TOUR TO PROMOTE THEIR BRAND NEW ALBUM "TRANSMISSIONS FROM OBLIVION"



This will be the 1st visit to Norwich since the band played their on their last headline club tour 18 months ago.



There’s something indefinable about Transmissions From Oblivion but very special that makes it irresistible & despite being under the radar, LGD are possibly one of the most essential British rock bands of recent times. This stunning new album has the potential to lift the band above cult status to a much wider audience!



Last Great Dreamers with their distinctly British take on power-pop are the antithesis of grunge and the best band you’ve probably never heard. They built a formidable live reputation in the mid 90’s with their shimmering glam style. Their debut album Retrosexual, a love letter to the early '70s glam scene, caught the attention of Kerrang! magazine, resulting in an awards nomination for 'best new band’ before tragedy and disillusionment forced the band to call it a day.

In 2014 they staged a fabulous comeback releasing an album of rarities, the critically acclaimed ‘Crash Landing In Teenage Heaven’ and have since in 2015 toured with Runaway’s singer Cherie Currie & in 2016 opened for bands such as the Darkness, Terrorvision, Hey Hello & Tigertailz and released 2 brand new singles ‘Dope School’, & 'Glitterball Apocalypse’ both achieving no.1 status on the TBFM radio network charts.

Soul of a Clown said… "...they sound as great as ever and their trademark harmonies are a key part of their sound. Most importantly, they have some really brilliant songs...”



Maximum Volume said… “Full of glam stomp, rock sheen, a chorus to die for and a hook big enough to stick your coat on, ...Last Great Dreamers are a very special band, and their forthcoming new album might be one to cherish."



Pure Rawk said… "the sound of a band taking their 70s glam influence & putting a good 21st century spin on it to drag it kicking & screaming into the current era"
