About

TEMPLES IN CONCERT:

 

Temples has been shaking up the British psych-rock scene ever since their 2012 debut, and they’ve been hailed as the best new band in the UK by legends like Johnny Marr and Noel Gallagher. At their electric live shows the band delivers the full package, complementing kaleidoscopic hits like “Keep in the Dark” and “Colours to Life” with trippy visuals and retro personal style. Back on the road for their latest tour, Temples will treat fans to cuts from their debut album Sun Structures on a string of highly anticipated dates.

 

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

 

Temples began in 2012 as the home studio project of singer/guitarist James Edward Bagshaw and Bassist Thomas Edison Warmsley. Shortly after posting their demos online the band was approached by Heavenly Recordings, resulting in their debut single “Shelter Song”. With the addition of a drummer and keyboard player came the band’s first shows, and in 2013 Temples released their debut as a four-piece “Colours to Life”. Since then they’ve toured with Mystery Jets, Kasabian, and Suede, also embarking on their first UK headlining tour in late 2013. In 2014 the band released their debut LP Sun Structures, immediately hitting the road for a world tour in support of the release.

    Cosmic Wall of Sound

    by WPPat on 6/11/15Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    Temples is an amazing band. When they get into one of their jams, they are truly a wall of sound. Although I did miss the live hand-made light show of the last Irving Plaza show, I have to say they once again sounded great. If you would like a psychedelic, cosmic journey without the requisite acid, then this is the band for you. Walmsley (bass) and Toms (drums) provide a steady background for the experimentation of Bagshaw and Smith on guitars and keyboards, together they are a band worth the price of admission.

    Temples: Much better live than in studio!!!

    by Lidsville on 6/8/15Saint Andrews Hall - Detroit

    The true power and intensity of this band really comes out in their live performance. I was disappointing by very low attendance for a Detroit audience, but it sure made for an extremely intimate event. I would say no more than 150 folks were there in my estimate. Anyway, a great time was had by all who attended and they are the best group I have seen in about 15 years. I hope like hell they don't suffer the sophomore blues like so many other bands do after a fantastic first album. A must see IMHO.

    Temples were very tight live!!!

    by relayer1976 on 10/31/14Irving Plaza - New York

    We have been listening to Temples since the release of their Album Sun Structures back in February. We have listened to the Album to the point of exhaustion, and yet never grew tired of their music (A tribute to their impressive song writing, and hypnotic melodies). We long anticipated to see them live, and they far exceeded the anticipation! I was most impressed just how tight they were, and the enthusiasm they displayed during their performance. Just wish the set was longer, again, a tribute to how much we enjoyed their show. Didn't want to see it end. disappointed they did not play "The Guesser" my personal favorite. Even got to meet Thomas (Bassist) outside before the show at the Headless Horseman. He and Uncle Ernie. They were most cordial. Do they realize the stardom that is about to be laid at their feet??? Temples: you are a fantastic breath of fresh air to an old Rocker like myself. Cheers Temples!!!! Robert

    Great Show

    by Fuzzwah7 on 10/27/14Paradise Rock Club - Boston

    Temples killed it, played a very tight set. My one thought is that James's mic was way too heavy on the top end. He sounded like a mosquito with all that treble. I know that may be part of the sound they're going for but it was a bit excessive at this show I thought.

    Temples are a band to watch out for...

    by BaldElvis on 10/27/14Paradise Rock Club - Boston

    From the first time you hear one of Temples songs from their debut album - and then see them perform live, you know these young guys from UK have tapped into a cross-generational groove that brings 60's psychedelia into the modern age. Love these guys and hope to see more - I'm 55 and felt like I was listening to Beatles/Doors/Moody Blues back in the late 60's.

    Temples' live sound is unreal. They are super tight, and fun to watch. This show will literally take you into a psychedelic dream-land. GO.

    The Bummers killed it, The Districts were unprofessional and the Temples all look like women becuase they were trying to "look the part". Worth the money for the 2 headliners? Nah... But seeing the Bummers made the show for me.

    Temples

    by ConcertPlayer on 10/13/14House of Blues Houston - Houston

    They should be headlining. Room was a bit difficult for their sound.

    Temples delivered

    by Dule on 10/10/14House of Blues Houston - Houston

    A very talented group of musicians, I loved every minute of it. It's a shame so few people know about them in a huge city like Houston.

    Temples best relatively unknown band!

    by KevyB on 6/6/14Great American Music Hall - San Francisco

    Saw these guys in SF a month ago. Show was short but the band was tight and sounded excellent! So many bands these days put out a few good songs but cant carry a live performance. Temples are an amazing live band & seeing their show brings their music to life. Their music contains familiar qualities of the past but is refreshingly new and compelling! Cant wait to see them again!!!!
