Oh do we have a hot tip for you fellow Toronto rockers! Rarely has a bar show been scheduled in our fair city that we have been so excited about. The Temperance Movement are a British hard blues rock band that are poised to break out in a big way. We caught wind of them a couple of years ago and placed them at number 3 on our Top 10 Albums of 2013 year end chart (right behind Pearl Jam and Black Sabbath) with their self titled debut album. Here is what we had to say at the time:
“Chances are this is the only band you have not heard of on our Top 10 Rock Albums of 2013 list and for good reason. This British band is relatively new, but Jimmy Page was at their last London show so you know you can expect good things. The Temperance Movement is a seductive blues infused band that can be easiest summed up as The Black Crowes from England. Very refreshing record and one that gives us hope that good old rock and roll has found new torchbearers (along with record label mates The Rival Sons). If there is one band we implore you to discover in 2013 it is without a doubt The Temperance Movement.“
The Temperance Movement will be performing their first ever Canadian show at The Rivoli on Toronto’s Queen Street on Sunday March 8th and you can grab your tickets right here. We interviewed Nick Fyffe the band’s bassist here, and you should check out the interview to get a feel for the band and their philosophy. Below is a live video of TTM in action.
I personally see tons of bands live and can without hesitation say this is the band I am most excited to see live for the first time this year. If you like the #RealRock we write about on T-Mak World get out there and be part of history. The Temperance Movement have one full LP out (self-titled) and it did make it to number 3 in the UK Rock charts.
We will be interviewing the band at The Rivoli before the show and to celebrate we are offering a lucky reader two guest list passes to the first ever Canadian show for The Temperance Movement at The Rivoli in Toronto on Sunday March 8th.
