Artist Information
Biography
Tempus Fugit is power pop, elegantly understated indie rock, progressive rock pyrotechnics and straight-ahead punk, unified by rich arrangements, catchy melodies and evocative emotional themes.
The new album, "Shallow Water Blackout", is long overdue, but worth the wait. It has been ten years since Tempus Fugit released their first album, "...When you're having fun", and gigged extensively around the Toronto area, building up a strong following. Then other commitments put the band on hiatus. When they reconvened in 2008, it was to make music that the band themselves wanted to hear.
The result is stunning: the new songs are lush and layered, with a meticulous attention to detail.
With the new album completed the band have been feverishly honing their live set for several upcoming CD release parties in Toronto and Montreal.
Tempus Fugit are not in it for the money or the glory. They are in it for the poverty and obscurity. They've been playing together since high school - disappearing and reappearing several times since. Their music is a testament to the idea of never giving up - of making music for its own sake.
