Outhouse - Welcome
I think my e-mail is down, or at least isn’t receiving e-mails. So if anyone has e-mailed me in the past 24-48 hours, then I probably haven’t gotten it. I’ll let everyone know whenever that problem is resolved. For now though, don’t resend anything as it won’t do any good.
I was doing some CD shopping the other day and while rummaging through the selection I ran across the album Welcome by Outhouse. I immediately remembered the single they had of the same name that was all over the radio here around 1997 when the album came out. I don’t know if it got that much airplay in other parts of the country, but it did here for a short while due to the band being from KC. I always really liked that song and I figured for as cheap as it was it would be worth having for that song alone, so I picked it up.
The trio of Bill Latas (vocals, guitar), Brad Gaddy (bass), and Shawn Poores (drums) formed in 1994 and after a bunch of touring and soliciting their demo around the area they were eventually signed to Mercury Records. The label put out their debut Welcome in 1997 which led to a couple of large tours. However, I think this is the only release the band was able to put out due to Mercury dropping the band and at the same time restricting the band from recording until they officially received word that they were dropped. Odd, but unfortunately that’s the way things happened and is another prime example of majors fucking another band.
Their music was that of the common hard rock/alternative variety that was winning over airwaves at the time. Nothing completely mind blowing, but they were a very solid band that crafted some pretty good tunes. Apparently after being dropped from their label they continued to play out here in KC and even recorded some new material for a second album but as far as I know it wasn’t ever released. If anyone out there does know, please drop me a line whenever the e-mail gets fixed or just leave a comment. It would be greatly appreciated. Anyway, the band went on an indefinite hiatus in 2001 and since then Brad Gaddy and Shawn Poores have gone on to play in the band The Zeros.

The album Welcome is available on Amazon for practically nothing. For anyone that likes the tunes above, it’s definitely worth the penny plus shipping.
