About Me


Visit me at: www.temposhark.com (my band website and web blog diary) or add Temposhark as a friend on Myspace www.myspace.com/temposhark Drop me a line if you want to. I promise I will try to reply as soon as I can.
I sing in a band called Temposhark. We’ve just released our debut album ’The Invisible Line’ produced by Guy Sigsworth (2 songs) and Sean McGhee (10 songs). Other collaborations on the album include awesome singer Imogen Heap on ’Not That Big’, legendary producer Youth on ’Blame’ and cool violinist Sophie Solomon on ’Battleships’. It’s out in good record shops as a CD and digital download from 25th March 2008 (USA/Canada on Defend Music via Ryko & Paper and Glue) and soft released in Europe on 24th March 2008 (UK/France/Germany/all of Europe on Defend Music & Paper and Glue). The Europe release is a soft release due to touring commitments in North America, Temposhark will return to Europe in late May and the album will have more promotion through July, with ’Blame’ as a full UK single package in the last week of June.
RecordStore.co.uk has a limited number of exclusive *SIGNED COPIES* of Temposhark’s debut album... so we recommend you HURRY and order with them now to get your hands on a special signed edition!

Let us know your thoughts? Hope to see you at one of our gigs! We first came over to the USA in March to perform live at SXSW 2007. *Our first sold out USA tour was in June 2007 stopping in the following places: New York, San Francisco, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles and back to New York for the end of the tour.* IT WAS A RIOT! WE’LL BE BACK IN APRIL & MAY 2008 FOR MORE USA TOURING!
Check out this behind the scenes video of us recording at RAK Studios in London! It was for a live EP which will come out on iTunes later this year... The song synced to it is called ’Blame’ taken from our debut album. Enjoy!
