The Glitterati

The Glitterati are an English Hard rock band from Leeds who are primarily based in London. The Band are currently signed with the DR2 Records/Global Music. In 2004 the band released the limited EP 'Here Comes A Close Up'. Despite not making the UK singles chart, the release sold out. The band released their debut album The Glitterati on 25 April 2005. The Album was produced by the legendary Mike Clink who had worked with bands such as Guns N' Roses on Appetite For Destruction, Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II and Metallica on tracks from the album Garage Inc.. The album was recorded in a Los Angeles studio. This was followed by the extensive Back In Power tour of the UK. Early 2005 the band broke into the top 40 singles chart with their single You Got Nothing On Me, their next single did not make it so high in the charts and just made it into the top 75 with Back In Power. Over the summer of 2005 The Gliterati played some major festivals in the United Kingdom such as "T in The Park" and Download Festival at Donnington Park. This has earned the band a big fanbase across the country. The Band can be compared greatly to rivals Towers of London and have a sound and style very similar to Velvet Revolver style with their raunchy lyrics, heavy riffs and general appearance. As of early 2006, The Glitterati is in the process of making their second album. The Glitterati replaced 2 members of the band, Bass player now known as BAZ and Rythem Guitar now known as GAFF. As of early 2009, The Glitterati is in the process of recording their second album with producer Matt Hyde (also known for his work with Gallows, Acroama, Trivium and Slipknot). In September 2009 The Glitterati signed a worldwide record deal with DR2 Records/Global a subdivision of the hugely succesful Demolition Records.
