Shitting glitter 2007 promo video
Shitting Glitter is an American avant-pop band inspired by new wave and electronic rock. The band was formed in 2001 by Amy Crosby (Vocals), Devin Tait (Synths and Vocals) and Yvonne "Mag" Edwards (guitar and vocals). After multiple lineup changes, Brandon Glen replaced Edwards as the guitar player and the trio released their debut album "Post No Bills" in 2003. 2006 saw the release of "Free Alongside Ship" on Decadrisco Records. The band has been labeled queercore, electroclash, and new wave and has played at many queer and gay festivals and events including Christopher Street West (L.A.'s Gay Pride Festival), Folsom Street Fair, and Reykjavik Gay Pride. They performed their single "Mondo di Corpo" on Q Television Network.
Contents
Shitting Glitter's earliest lineup included members of the band Brrn, Billy Rajah and Roman Ratej; the latter went on to be the drummer for the band T.A.T.u. In 2010, the band released its third album, "Open For Business," and announced a new lineup: Crosby and Tait were joined by new guitarist AJ Anderson and drummer Laura Jennings (formerly of the band Ask Alice), and Red Fox on bass (formerly of Messengers from the Sexual Frontier). Devin Tait left the band later in 2010, and the band switched to a harder rock sound. The band released their first EP without Tait, Ladies Things, later in 2010.

A remix done by DJ Jonathan Morning was featured in the short film "Succubus" while the original version was included on Venus Envy's "Women Who Rock" compilation CD, a breast cancer benefit project. "R So" was released on Trocar Records on grey/purple 7" vinyl and included the original version of "Slut Buffet," the latter was also released as a limited edition CD single in the UK only. Two maxi-singles were released to precede "Free Alongside Ship": "The Incomparable White Six" in December 2004, and "Ladyslipper" in May 2005. "No Safe Words" was released as a limited edition CD single at Folsom Street Fair, and included a cover of Altered Images' hit "Happy Birthday". In June 2007, the band released an EP which included the Solar City remix of "Slut Buffet" as well as remixes by DJ Bill Dup and several new tracks. The band shot two videos to accompany the EP, "Mustache Rides" and "Delay" which was shot in Paradise, KS.
