Artist History what are we going to do with the 'e-word'? why aren't men allowed to show their feelings? where the hell is haan? and who was shakesspeare again? four question to which that very time i saw... know the answer: the 'e-word', 'emocore': nobody dares to use this word without inverted commas, we are being smothered by stereotypes, but what does this tell us about a band? nothing, exactly, and if five guys from the east of düsseldorf (which already answers the question where haan is) enjoy making music together which follows along the lines of their rolemodels texas is the reason, samiam and quicksand then one is already on the safe side. forget emocore call it punkrock, call it indierock, just call it great music that proves men can show their feelings. and william shakespeare, english dramatist (1564-1616) and his piece 'a midsummer night's dream', is to be blamed that that very time i saw... got their name. 'the grand theft', is the first album by tvtis to be recorded under the supervision of guido lucas and thilo schenk in the blu-box-studios and mastered by kai blankenberg (donots, pale) in the düsseldorfer skyline-studios in the summer of 2002. a jackpot for the band, which had the time and for the first time the money to record 'properly' and to show, what the fans - about 100 shows since the release of the demo two years ago have given them enough opportunity - appreciate about tvtis: real action on stage, loud drums, a singer who rampages, suffers and inspires, a booming base and two guitars with a lot of bite. enough attitude, little ego and great fun. the english have also had the opportunity to convince themselves of this since tvtis uk-tour in the summer of 2001. the mini-album which was released on the bands own label redfield records (now sold out but to be re-pressed by cargo records) had just been released as a uk-license by the english label ignition records - that's a lot in times when the music business likes to talk about a crises. all further information to be found in the coming weeks in a sweaty club right around your corner!

Press Reviews THAT VERY TIME I SAW… -- The Grand Theft (CD / Redfield Records) Finally it’s here, the debut album from Germany’s very own That very Time I Saw… after a pretty cool EP that was released in 2001 on their own label Redfield Records who also gave us cool stuff by bands like Summer’s Last Regret in the past. And what can I say about it other than it’s just terrific. Thirteen songs full of emotions and pop influenced indie or emo or whatever in the vein of bands like Texas is the Reason that I like so much. I mean That Very Time I Saw… is doing it right all the way. Just listen to songs like “Risking the mission” or the opening track “Tables turning” and you know what I mean. These are simply wonderful pieces of heartfelt and emotional music that you can sing along to. Mastered by Kai Blankenberg who already worked for bands like the infamous Donots or Pale “The grand theft” offers a tight, clean and powerful sound that fits the songs perfectly. The promo copy that lies before me contains a multimedia part with band info, info about the album, photos, an e-card and two videos. Hopefully this section will be available on the regular version of the album as well because the video for “Tables turning” is pretty cool. If you still feel bad about the fact that Texas is the Reason called it a day a couple of years ago, be assured that your sadness is over now. That Very Time I Saw is here to take over the throne. I guess I am repeating myself this time in this review section, but “The grand theft” is highly recommended. (http://www.voiceofreason.de)
