Tim Fite

Tim Fite is an artist and a true original. His music defies easy categorization. Esquire Magazine recently referred to Fite as, "one of rock 'n' roll's most subversive renaissance men." This March 6th Tim Fite will be releasing Ain't Ain't Ain't on ANTI- Records. It is the best record of his career.

Fite currently resides in Brooklyn where he makes musical and visual art. His fine art has been exhibited at galleries in NYC, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Puerto Rico. He recently finished his "12 Months Rent" printmaking series where he created an edition of 50 prints each month for a year, selling all 600. "Finding printmaking was a pivotal moment in my creative life," Fite explains. "In it, I discovered a synthesis of art-making and machine labor that I had always dreamed of. This informed my approach to music as well, where technology and imagination maintain a healthy co-dependence."

Fite's musical catalog has addressed a wide array of subjects including: love, death, injustice, poverty, greed, dirt, rats, heaven, hell, freedom, blood, shopping, shooting, barbers, mistakes, police and teenagers. These themes have been imaginatively visualized in Fite's multi-media stage-show; a darkly whimsical affair that deftly merges music, illustration, video, and light carpentry. In the past Fite has shared stages with the likes of Man-Man, Les Claypool, Azure Ray, Porter Wagoner, St. Vincent, Fleet Foxes and others.
