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. Shitting Glitter's earliest lineup included members of the band Brrn (website) Billy Rajah and Roman Ratej; the latter went on to be the drummer for the band T.A.T.u.

[edit] Discography

Post No Bills (2003)
Free Alongside Ship (2006)

Although the band has only released two full length albums, it has released numerous singles and EP's, beginning with the "Hot Rod" EP in February 2002. This EP contained the track "Strapping" which gained the band early recognition. 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 January 2007, the band will release an EP of new remixes of "Slut Buffet" including the Solar City Slutty Club Mix. The EP will also contain at least two exclusive new tracks, which should tide fans over until the late 2007 release of "Food Drinks Music," which is to be the band's third full-length album.
