Long Time No Time is a five-piece Calgarian horn band formed in September 2017 as an amalgamation of music school nerds from University of Calgary looking to find mainstream outlets. Using horns instead of guitars or keys, we use our academic musical knowledge to explore pop music tropes with technique and precision – all while developing a unique style with thriving energy. Long Time No Time released our debut album “First Time Full Time” on June 24, 2018 and has been working on new music ever since. Categorically ubiquitous, audiences will find themselves steadily surprised by what comes next, the only constant being that no one will be standing still.
