Review for today! Check it out here!!!
- 1/4/08
Happy New Year! Here
it is another year again, and hopefully this is going to be THE year!
Recording should be wrapped up on our new album in the next few months
and we will be competing in a battle of the bands contest at Girl
Bar in West Hollywood in February. Hope to see you all there!
- 12/3/07
- A
very big thanks to Flagstaff for rocking with us at the Monte V. We
had a great show! Recording continues on the new album, as Brandon
tracked several guitar parts last Thursday, and Devin recorded some
synths and bells over the weekend. Meanwhile, the trio has been working
on another project - their side band, Believable TV, which
will be performing next Saturday in Hollywood at Cafe
Muse. (Visit the website to read Believable TV's bio!)
- 10/24/07
- It
may seem quiet, but there is lots of stuff going on behind the scenes.
First and foremost, recording continues on the band's third album.
However, the wildfires raging here in California are dangerously close
to the Seamonster Sounds Studio in Malibu so please keep Mr. Hoagie
Hill and his studio in your thoughts and prayers. The band has finished
recording two new non-album tracks for some documentary films. "The
Man" is a sixties style folk number inspired by the Manson Murders,
whereas "Stacked" is a dark electronic opus about corruption
within the media and the government. Heavy!
- 8/13/07
- The
band's live drummer, Alexa Brinkschulte, recorded drums for five tracks
on the forthcoming album over the weekend at Seamonster Sounds in
Malibu. Currently, Shitting Glitter is preparing for it's "Talkin'
Shit" Mini-Tour, which will take the band to Bakersfield, San
Francisco, Santa Barbara, and back to LA this coming weekend.
- 7/16/07
- The
band had a busy, successful weekend performing at Club Lavender Mist
in LA on Friday night, then spending the weekend in Santa Barbara
where they performed at the Pacific Pride Festival. Make sure to check
out the new video for "Mustache Rides 5¢" now on the

- Delay
You may be wondering about a couple things right now. First, what's
taking so long for the Slut Buffet remix single? It's true that we
had promised this would be released in January 07 and here it is,
Mid-March, and still no sign. However, we think it will be very much
worth the wait. When we began recording, we started doing it the same
way we recorded "Free Alongside Ship." We recorded everything
here in LA ourselves, and just gave the tracks over to Hoagie at Seamonster
Sounds to mix. However, after we had recorded the tracks and taken
them out to Malibu to transfer over to Hoagie, it became apparent
that we could get a much, much better quality by recording the tracks
directly at Seamonster Sounds. So we essentially completely re-recorded
the two b-sides, Mustache Rides Five Cents and Delay - hence the delay.
We don't have a record company exec breathing down our necks so it
made sense to take the extra time and effort to make these tracks
really awesome! As far as remixes, we're not sure what is going to
end up going on the single, but we have gotten some really kick-ass
mixes from different people and we will be picking our favorites to
include. We will also be releasing a video for Mustache Rides (not
Slut Buffet as previously announced.) In other news, we want to thank
everyone at the San Diego Indie Music Festival, where we had a kick-ass
show! Click here
for a clip from our encore, "R So" (yes, we actually
did an encore).

that Coco got a 'special' treat from Officer Wild! We might have missed
Arrested Development on FOX last night, but watching Coco get arrested
was even better! Anyway, on the news front, the band is preparing

downsized... Amy and Devin continue on, Mag is concentrating on her
art. Her current exhibit, "Taking Communion" can be seen
all month at the Normandie Room in West Hollywood, at Santa Monica

and the band stresses that nothing is final. We wish Mag the best
of luck and will continue working with her, in whatever shape that
may take. We will continue to include updates on her goings on here
on this website.
Meanwhile, the "Makes Sense" EP is well underway. It will
most likely include the songs "Makes Sense," "Mechanically
Separated Chicken," and "Ariana," as well as remixes.

four rock stars and the Transgendered Diva love-child of Daryl Hall

in the 2002 Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade, of course! You heard it
here first, SG has officially obtained a spot on the day of all days,
the day of all gays! A spokesperson for Kendra has commented that
she is "ecstatic that band chose her as their notable guest of
honor" in the celebration. The rest of her statements can not
be reprinted here. The band has requested placement "near nuns"
in the lineup, but we can only say with certainty that you can see
them between 11 and 2:30 on Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood on
Sunday, June 23rd. (The day after Devin's birthday). Meanwhile, the
band prepares for it's next gig at the Joint, 8771 Pico Blvd in LA
on June 13th, 11 pm. The set will feature 2 new songs (!) and the
shirtless drumming 'orgasm-czech style' that is Roman. Do you have
to ask... "Where's the party at?" NO!!! Don't get caught
in the trap, get your snatch on down to the joint and check out the
"garage band that collided with a bus full of reform school cheerleaders,"
LA's own Shitting Glitter!5/18/02 - "Strapping" has been

Jesus, Hero, Mechanically Separated Chicken, and Luscious Mag. The
band was very happy with their show and is ready to 'slam dunk the
funk' this Sunday night at The Joint. (PLEASE BE THERE! WE PROMISE
IT WILL BE THE BEST THING YOU COULD DO ON A SUNDAY NIGHT!) After the
Joint, the band plans to rehearse a lot, and finally finish some new
songs they've been working on including "Mustache Rides 5 Cents"
and "Makes Sense." In June, the band will be flying in their
producer from Kansas City to record the album Post No Bills.
5/6/02 - After the raving success that was the Arcadia gig, Shitting
Glitter is ready to gig like bats out of hell. After the gigs lately,
the only way is up (literally). At least the chances of us playing
at another straight sports bar & grill immediately following a
funeral reception are slim to none. The hardest work has been done.
In other news, Shitting Glitter has scheduled out it's next three
months to increase their productivity --- just one more shining example
of our fearlessness of selling out. We've got T-Shirts, remixes, videos,
promotional goodies, and even plans to record "Post No Bills"

it's all about product, product, product.

gig: there are lots of exciting things going on right now, and the
gig will be a big step forward for the band!
2/25/02 - The band worked on a few songs tonight, including a new
one titled "Slut Buffet." It's a rousing 80's synth pop
dance number that marks a departure from the band's signature sound.
Don't fear, however, we're still punk as fuck.
2/24/02 - Amy, Yvonne and Devin met with Tiko and his Tribe to discuss
the Rainbow Revue gig which will be in April. The band is joining

web page for more info.
2/21/02 - K8 (a.k.a. Kate Lindsey) will be directing the video for
Goddess Room. The band will be meeting with her soon to discuss the
concept. Basically we are looking at a 2 location shoot, one being
a crowded party room, the other an outdoor venue with the band performing.
If you would like to be in the video, please send a short essay describing
your loyalty to the band, and a photo to shittingglitter@hotmail.com.
Additionally, dennyPop has been diligently working on the Strapping
video, which should be completed by late March. Stay tuned as clips
will be made available here first! The band rehearsed last night and
spoke about the upcoming gigs. Most likely, the next gig will be @
Rumors on Magnolia and Cahuenga in beautiful North Hollywood. One
last (but very important) bit of info: The band has been approached
by a potential manager. This mystery woman shall remain nameless for
the time being but the band is very excited about the possibility.
The band has previously worked with this person in a different capacity
and are seriously considering the shift in status.
2/15/02 - Amy & Devin met with K8, the video
producer/director. K8 will be chosing which video from Hot Rod that
the band will film with her. In addition, K8 has been working with
several others in the industry for a possible major deal. Meanwhile,
dennypop is busy in post production of the Strapping video.
Tiko is working hard on putting together S.A.M. (Starving Artists
and Musicians) which will be a collective community of gay singers,
bands, and visual artists. The band is proud to be a part of the project
which may have possible celebrity endorsements.
Meanwhile we are busy lining up gigs for the coming months.
WE ARE OFF TO VEGAS FOR THE PRESIDENT'S DAY WEEKEND. You can expect
lots of great photos upon our arrival. Also on the photo front, Tiger
(another great gay visual artist and friend of the band) is in talks
with us for a series of photo sessions.

Glitter Go-Go dancer.

Strapping, Short Haired Girls Club, Post No Bills, Mechanically Separated
Chicken, Grady, Goddess Room, and Hero. After rehearsals, Kendra was
heard saying "This crap is worse than my last show! If they think
I'm letting them perform for longer than 30 seconds they've got another
thing comin. My adoring fans are all coming to JOX to see me, not
to have their ears assaulted with this gaudy racket."
