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
