It’s very rare for a band to emerge as perfectly formed as Glimmermen have done with their debut EP Satellite People. But these guys are something of an underground supergroup, with each of the three members bringing to the table a wealth of musical creativity learned and earned as stalwarts of the Dublin rock scene over the past 15 years.

Together they make a sound they describe as ‘Urban Post-Rock Blues’.

Satellite People EP is four cuts of intelligent guitar pop, full of elemental ingenuity and packed with subtle bluesey hooks, all skillfully captured by Steve Shannon (Experimental Audio) in September 2011.

Satellite People is released on Greyslate Records (Redneck Manisfesto, Dublin Guitar Quartet, Burning Love Jumpsuit).

GLIMMERMEN features former members of Boxes, Jackbeast and Holy Ghost Fathers.

Gavin Cowley (vocals, guitar, harmonica and keys) is one half of 2-piece rock band Boxes who released three albums including the critically lauded “Bad Blood” recorded by Steve Albini in Electrical Audio Chicago, released on Dutch label Laterax. Boxes played gigs with Dinosaur Jnr., Nomeansno and The Ex.

J. Bassetti (double bass and vocals) played with Jackbeast an inspirational Post-Punk band from Dublin circa 1990s and controversial Electro outfit ‘Burning Love Jumpsuit’ who specialised in a subtle form of disco-infused media terrorism. They also featured on John Peels ‘Festive 50’ in 2002.

Phil Murray (drums and vocals) played drums with The Holy Ghost Fathers between 2001-2007 their self-released ‘Cock of the Walk’ album received critical acclaim. Phil moved to Melbourne, Australia where he played drums with Gluefoot and The Blue Poles.
