biographical info

"Their sound punches convention in the face with a fistful of indie cred and Radiohead-meets-Modest Mouse-meets-Godspeed You." - Alexis Dow, Harrisburg Patriot-News

Headquartered in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, Infotourist delivers all-original industrial-strength solutions for the enterprise, such as:

• Circular coffee stains on planar surfaces.

• Servers humming, printers chirping, Esc keys clicking.

• Tired eyes surveying a lonely cubicle.

• Carpal tunnels collapsing.

• Cold caffeine substitute dumped onto a shrivelled potted plant.

• Pixelated but recognizable figures.

Infotourist's raucous cubicle call-to-arms "Hello, Helpdesk!" achieved an Honourable Mention in the Unisong International Songwriting Contest, and was chosen to represent Canada on the widely-distributed Millennium Music Conference Compilation CD, on which it was designated as one of the best tracks by Barry Fox and Kira L. Schlechter of the Harrisburg Patriot-News, writing that "the highly observant lyrics are brilliantly pointed".

Infotourist has just recorded its musical war-on-war-on-terror entitled "America Will Hide Me From The World", which has already received an Honourable Mention in the international "We Are Listening" 2006 Singer/Songwriter Awards, and was recently chosen as a finalist in the prestigious Independent Music Awards by judges including Peter Gabriel and Suzanne Vega. It is currently among the featured songs on the "Justice Through Music" website.

Infotourist has showcased at the Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA, and at North By Northeast in Toronto, and has also performed at Kingston's hugely successful Skeleton Park Music Festival where they were a mainstage headlining act.

Having achieved this level of success within only a year of their independently-released IPO, "Selected Case Studies", Infotourist's stock has been given a strong "buy" rating by analysts worldwide.
