Long Time Comin began by combining metal and blues music together. Formed in 2001 in Austin Texas by Brian Bayer (lead guitar), Marcos Galvan (drums), and Hal Vorpahl (bass). The band worked hard playing live shows in and around Austin and writing songs about Texas, love, booze, and blues.
After a few years the band experienced growing pains that most young bands do, and after numerous personnel changes the band became what it is today. Brian began singing the vocals and writing new songs, Marcos kept on bangin' the skins and for awhile, good friend and former bassist for LTC Monte Peck played bass.
LTC released it's first album in August of 2006. The album wound was compiled with a couple of former LTC songs, new songs written by Brian, and songs written in the studio. The result was a surprisingly diverse showing of songs from the band. The obvious single was "Fell to Earth." With an alternative rock sound, it stands out and is a stretch in a different direction. Then, songs like "Be my Prescription", "Mojo Baux" and "Crystallized" pay tribute to the heavy rock n roll that defined the band's early sound.
Shortly after the album's release, LTC sought out a new bass player and found Jeremy Govero, from St. Louis. Plans for 2007 are to write new songs for the next album, do a small amount of touring and keep developing the dirty blues sound three friends set out to find years ago.
