The Glitterati

[Hammy]

Surprised this band doesn't have a thread already, i thought either mrlee or myself would of created one already.

Well they are a great English Rock Band from Leeds and have so far released one album which had some class tracks on Here Comes A Close Up, Heartbreaker, Betterman.  If you a fan of bands like Roadstar you'll like these, i was blown away when i saw them play Download a few years back.

They have a new album due this year with some demo's of tracks on their myspace, although 2 members were announced to of left yesterday so that might hold things up

They were probably my favourite 'new' rock band of the past 5 years.  They managed to bring some classic influence without sound dated in the way that Roadstar / The Answer do (in my opinion).  Unfortunately they were victims of the usual major label shit and also the press deciding to hype them massively and then not follow through on the support once the album came out. 

Gutted that Jamie and Nic have left.  My band was supposed to be supporting on two dates a couple of weeks back and couldn't do it - now I really wish we'd done it as they were the last gigs with that line-up.

I have seen them three times and played with them once and they have never failed to impress me.  I'm looking forward to hearing the new album - I just hope they have the determination to carry on despite having to get new members and work out financial stuff.
