BAND CALENDAR
BIOGRAPHY
The Glimmer is a four piece band from Newtown in Sydney’s inner west, influenced by the raucous rock & roll bands and sassy girl groups of the 1960s. With a sound that’s grittier than Best Coast but prettier than The Dead Weather, “The Glimmer are the very model of a certain inner-west indie band. Bluesy, some frayed country around the edges, and for some flavour, add some surf guitar buzz and up-to-four-part boy/girl harmonies. Goes with the requisite rumble and swagger.” (Ross Clelland, Drum Media.)
The Glimmer name comes from the Mick Jagger/Keith Richards pseudonym "The Glimmer Twins". With their "surf western" stylings and "certain noirish quality" (Leicester Bangs UK), their music is often likened to the soundtracks to Quentin Tarantino's films.
The band has made a splash around Sydney with their strong stage presence and raw and contagious live energy. In the tradition of 1960s groups like The Animals and The Shangri Las they often play covers of classic rock 'n' roll songs in their set. In the past 12 months The Glimmer have played a number of diverse shows around town - in full band mode at The Sandringham, The Lansdowne, FBi Social in Kings Cross, The Annandale and The Townie, stripped back acoustic sets at The Union Hotel, and an extremely well-received apearance at Wintersun Festival in Port Macquarie, alternating original sets for the festival crowd with rock 'n' roll classics for the swing dance set.
The Glimmer released their debut album digitally in June 2011 –“elements of everything from Dick Dale to The Mamas & The Papas and even a touch of Janis Joplin evident in their debut album, Start A Fire” (Michael Smith, Drum Media). The 12 songs were tracked with Andrew Beck (Amiel, Modular Lounge) and Kramer (Urge Overkill, Leader Cheetah, Bridezilla) at GigPiglet Studios in Redfern, mixed by Kramer at his Florida studio and mastered at Turtlerock Studios by Rick O'Neil.
