TimeGiant playing for Movemeber at the Gables

WI Agency:
Can you remember the last time you
witnessed u band unleash a raw and
completely unapologetic dose of rock 'n'
roll on the unsuspecting musses? If your
answer is yes, in all likelihood you've
recently been introduced to TimeGiant.
Their sound is sexy. It's bold. It's edgy.
It's rock the way it should be;
TimeGiant is corning through Grand
Bend Saturday, Nov. 30th, for the 94.5
The Bull's 6th Annual Mo -town Gala at
the Gables. It is a charity show with all
proceeds going to Prostate Cancer Can-
ada.'lhe band is playing for free as their
contribution to the great cause.
The show will be 'TimeGiant, acid an
ACDC tribute band "Hells Bells':
In a musical climate that is dominated
by the polar opposites of folksy artists
and prefabricated pop stars, the milieu
of good, old-fashioned rock music has
gone largely underserviced. Armed with
blistering guitars and booming vocals,
with the release of its hotly anticipated
sophomore album A Night To Remem-
ber, TimeGiant is clearly on a one-track
tnission to change that.
'the journey towards TimeGiant began
in 2006. While studying at university in
Windsor, Ontario Tyrone Buccione met
guitarist Ryan Watson and the two begun
jamming together. Quickly the pair knew
there was a creative spark growing that
was about to change everything.
"We would jam in the residence lobby
with tiny 10 -watt amplifiers and our gui-
tars," laughs Watson. "I remember, a
friend picked up a copy of One Way
Ticket by 'lite Darkness on the day of its
Canadian release, and after listening to
the album we both had a feeling that
music was about to become a way of life
for us. From that point on, we began
writing songs and recording them in the
residence kitchen on a small 0 -track, and
that was it:'
Tyrone and Ryan immediately enlisted
the help of Ryan's former battiimate Pat
Wilken who picked up the bass guitar to
join the developing outfit, perfecting the
early core trio of the band. A new ditnen-
sion would emerge for the band in 2010,
when they packed up and moved to
Toronto where they would eventually
join with drummer Charlie McKittrick in
2011. At that moment, it was clear that
the four musicians had collectively
found their equals and TimeGiant was
fully formed.
"Although I was a little reluctant

initially," admits McKittrick,
"Eventually we jammed a few
times, and it just felt so great! The
energy of the music, the vibe, and
attitude of the group really spoke
volumes to me."
In between releasing a debut
EP in 2009 and a full-length
album, Grow, in 2011, the band
began to tour relentlessly. "After
our last EP there was a huge
growing stage in our career. We
had just moved to Toronto and
had a lot to learn about ourselves
as a band," explains Buccione.
"We grew up listening to AC/DC,
Queen, l.ed Zeppelin and KISS.
These were larger than life bands,
and we wanted to carve our place
out by bringing back that huge

sound. So everything we started
to do became about capturing
our live energy."
It has been it long time since a
band strolled into the musical
consciousness to slap it awake
and allow it to remember how
fun, inspiring, and joyful rock 'n'
roll is. Thankfully the wait for
TimeGiant is over.
