artist The Long Timers

Triple guitar assault powered by 4x12 cabs. Thundering bass driving the point home. Pounding percussions that leave crowds senseless and begging for more. Long Timers have only one wish, one goal, one dream: to bring rock'n'roll the way they have designed it to the ears of the world.Driven by influences that include everything from modern metal, stoner rock, blues, punk, to 60's and 70's rock bands such as Mountain, Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath and many others, the Long Timers seek to combine their past musical experiences with a new desire to explore the possibilities of rock'n'roll. Originally formed in late 2002, it took almost 2 years of jams and 3 bassists (including the illustrious Martindale, of Double Pumpers fame) for Long Timers to achieve a cohesive whole that could fulfill the hopes of rock fans everywhere. While early in their development, they have already opened for bands such as Bionic (Montreal), Alabama Thunderpussy (Virginia) and the Double Pumpers (local heroes in Ottawa). They have also headlined some shows in and around Ottawa, expanding their set to pay homage to some of their favourite artists, and to meet the expectations and increasing demands of local crowds. Their love is rock'n'roll, and the people who love it too. So open your ears, rock enthusiasts from around the world, and let the Long Timers love you.
