BIG 70's SOUND!


Hey friends!  TimeGiant is keeping in typical rock n' roll fashion with new tunes, and big recordings!  Tonight we're at Epik Productions in Toronto recording drum tracks for one of our earliest gems, "Blind".  With producer Ross Citrullo manning the board, the track is quickly coming to life with huge 70's tones that would make your deaf grandmother groove!  Recording the drums in an open hall way is giving us that classic, BIG '"zeppelin" feel with our own modern twist.  Big things are in motion for the boys of TimeGiant!  Last week we worked with producer/songwriter Arnold Lanni (Our Lady Peace, Finger Eleven) and we will also be writing/recording with producer Greig Norri (Treble Charger, Sum 41) in early December.  It won't be long now and we will have some major studio ammunition to fire your way, but until then, be sure to catch TimeGiant live in a city near you!

Dec. 8th @ Cherry Cola's Rock n' Roll Cabaret - Toronto, On.
Dec. 16th @ Bobby O' Brian's (Official Strummerfest 2012 After Party) - Kitchener, On.
Dec. 21st @ Elephants Nest - Chatham, On.

Now that we've got your attention, it's time for an update!  The boys in TimeGiant have been rocking hard and are now busier than ever!  We've nearly finished our recording sessions with Jon Drew and the first mixes are sounding larger than life!  The band has been working a new single with the help of song writer/guitarist Sean Kelly (Crash Kelly, Nelly Furtado, Helix) and we will be sitting with song writer/producer Greig Nori (Treble Charger) in the coming weeks to work on yet another TimeGiant grand slam!  Tyrone and Charlie also recently recorded a version of a newer TimeGiant song, "Been Here Before" so be sure to check out the video on YouTube and let us know what you think!  Cheers, and KEEP IT LOUD!

Blood, Guts, and Glory


It was a bloody night for TimeGiant but the energy could be felt from miles around.  We played a sold out show Saturday May. 12th with U.S.S and The Balconies in Hamilton, Ontario as the crowd stretched around the building early on.  Despite the fact that a broken bottle backstage left Tyrone's hand gashed and bleeding profusely just minutes before hitting the stage, we managed to pull together like a group of seasoned road-warriors and opened the night with intensity.  Ty's Guitar is pictured above, stained a crimson red colour.  Well you know what they say, the show must go on!  Thank you Hamilton for a kick ass night!  Many more sold out shows to come! Enjoy,

Recording at Coalition Studios


The boys are back in the studio recording 8 new tracks LIVE off the floor!  After 4 hours of setting the room up with top quality gear, well over 20 different mics and some thunderous Motorhead blaring through the speakers, we are finally ready to rip it up!  Brand new tracks including "Hard Loving Woman", "Farcaster", "Been Here Before" and five others are about to be captured live in the chapel at Coalition Studios.  We have spent the past few months focusing our attention on the quality of our songs and I am confident the time and energy exerted will shine through on the new record.  Kevin and Stefan have been a huge help setting us up, and now it's about time to crack a beer and let the magic happen!  TURN IT UP!  IT'S ON!  come get some.

LIVE at Canadian Music Week


Hey all you hangover having, long-hairs!  I sure hope everyone survived the debauchery of Canadian Music Week 2012!  TIMEGIANT played a packed house at the Supermarket in Toronto, Ontario on Friday, March 23rd to a boisterous crowd, fist-pumping with bull horns in the air.  With bars open and serving until 4:00am and over 900 bands from 40 different countries from around the world, friends and fans alike knew they were in for a ride.  Windsor fans would be stoked to know that we cranked up the tunes and kicked off the set with a rarely seen crack at one of the first songs we ever wrote, "BLIND".  Playing a 40 minute set with old TIMEGIANT hits and brand new tracks such as, "Close To Me", and "We Forgot The Reason", the band was able to captivate the crowd and have a whole lot of fun in the process (and with bars open till 4am, our 1am set was just a nightly warm-up!).  Special thanks to tmackworld.com for an awesome review of the set!  (See link below)

We had an incredible time playing, and were able to watch some amazing bands as well.  Stay tuned Toronto, and get ready because TIMEGIANT is coming at ya LOUDER THAN EVER!

FAMILY DAY!!! Feb.20th



There is nothing more sacred than the institution of family, and here in Toronto the boys of TIMEGIANT have reinvented the word and discovered love, passion, diversity, acceptance, and an incredible taste for cheap beer.  Through thick and thin and nearly 6 years together as a Rock n' Roll outfit spawning in Windsor, Ontario, TIMEGIANT has grown together to become a family like no other.  We spent the majority of the past 6 years living under the same roof, touring in the same van, and occasionally waking up in the same front yard!  We've never once turned our backs on each other, and I'm proud to say after all these years, we are stronger than ever and ready and willing to conquer the music industry.  From our early days as teenagers starting out just miles from the American border, to our many days on the road touring across the nation, TIMEGIANT has found themselves in "The Big Smoke" Toronto, Ontario with just one goal in mind.  Like the classic cartoon "Pinky and the Brain", we too plan on doing the same thing each and every night... "Try to take over the world".  So as we spend this Family Day together sipping sangria, reminiscing about past shows, and speaking of future glory we would like to extend our greatest thanks to you, the TIMEGIANT army!  To all the wonderful fans who have ever bought a ticket, screamed from the front row, provided a couch to crash on or just shared a laugh over a few pints, THANK YOU!!!  You will forever be a member of the rock n' roll, dysfunctional family that is TIMEGIANT.  WE LOVE YOU!!!  Stay tuned for big things to come from your crazy family in TIMEGIANT!  Cheers...

NEXT SHOW - March 24th - Canadian Music Week - Supermarket - Toronto, Ont.

New Drummer Crashes into Planet Earth

Greetings planet Earth.  Government officials have announced that an asteroid has struck the heart of the nation, after plummeting from a galaxy far away.  The large block of space metal has exploded in Toronto, Ontario and was noted to be carrying a life-force in it's gravitational pull.  Charlie "CMACK" McKittrick was first discovered by a group of long-haired rugged musicians known as TIMEGIANT and has since been accepted as one of their own.  Ladies and Gentlemen prepare yourself for a Rock n' Roll hell ride, batten down the hatches and retreat to your nearest bomb shelter.  THE BOYS ARE BACK and they're coming to a city near you!  New tunes, New drummer, and a whole lot of love!!!!!   GET SOME!

-Watstone Cowboy





-Thanks a lot C-Mack and welcome to the band.  Many incredible times await!  Cheers
