Described as somewhere between Bob Dylan and Fela Kuti, Time for T have always been difficult to categorize. This may be due to the eclectic backgrounds of the band (England, Portugal, Brazil and Spain) and the nomadic nature of it’s members. The project was started by Tiago Saga in Brighton back in 2013 and is now based in Lisboa.

With influences from all over the globe – Tropicalia to Folk Rock and Desert Blues to Soul, their ‘Mongrel’ sound can make the whole crowd dance as easily as it can get you crying as most of the songs, when analyzed closer, are pensive folk songs sugarcoated in sunny melodies and groovy rhythms.

After releasing 3 EP’s, their debut LP ‘Hoping Something Anything’ was released in September 2017 and with it came a UK Spotify Viral Charts number 1 single, radioplay on BBC Radio 1 & 6 (UK), Antena 3 (Portugal) and Deutschland Radio Kultur (Germany). Furthermore, the band have played at notable festivals such as Green Man, NOS Alive, Super Bock Super Rock, Vodafone Paredes de Coura and Secret Garden Party as well as extensive touring around Europe and some shows in the USA, Mexico and Lebanon.

The bands latest album ‘Galavanting’ was released on Street Mission Records in October 2019 and was presented first hand with the most successful European tour yet.

– Earmilk

“The band don’t take themselves too seriously, even if their music oozes sophistication.”
– Artrocker

– Clash

“Brighton’s psychedelic troupe, Time For T.”
– Wonderland Magazine

“A non-manic flavor of psychedelia, the colorful, jaunty sort that feels confident enough to swagger and playful enough to grin. The majority of their tracks contain ‘world music”’ vibes, which completely makes sense considering the members are from all edges of Europe. Morrison-sexy meets The Kooks frisky meets The Rolling Stones personality. ”
-The Wild Honey Pie

“On this night, the Bay Area crowd was treated to the psychedelic, folky charm of Tiago Saga, front man of British band Time for T. The crowd’s eyes never wavered, even as he tuned the guitar mid-set and disclosed his affinity for tacos in between songs.”
– San Francisco Chronicle
